There is an actual cost to the WMDE to carry out this assessment
With which you've replied to your own questions on why WMDE. Thanks generous WMDE for the gift.

So apparently it is less of a conflict of interest for WMF
departments to be
evaluated for funding by their colleagues in the other side of the
same room
than by WMDE? This is really getting ridiculous.
+1 Risker, can you please check that your views of what makes a COI fit in https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Guidelines_on_potential_conflicts_of_interest and propose your view on talk page if not?

Their opinion is equivalent to yours, or mine, or any other person's on this
mailing list.
Fantastic. Then, if you're interested in providing opinions, please do so; you've not yet expressed a single opinion, hence I don't see why you worry about the value which is going to be attached to it. https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Grants_talk:APG/Proposals/2013-...
