perhaps you're right. But keep in mind that the FDC has been set up specifically as a committee advising the Board in this specific area, and is composed of people with particular competence in finance, grants, etc. Whichever body is chosen though, a longer feedback/comment period is necessary.

It does make sense to me that there would be at least a month between publication of the full draft plan, including the documentation that requested, and the closure of the comment period.
In its current form the plan is too vague for me to support it as written.
I think that the WMF audit committee or the WMF Board might be in a better position than the FDC to do a thorough review of the plan, including holding public Hangout meetings in which the plan is discussed, much like how government legislative bodies review proposed budgets in public. This would increase public confidence in the quality of the plan.
