I agree that a longer feedback period is appropriate, preferably with the
same kind of public notices requesting comment that are pushed out for FDC
application reviews.
Overall I would say that this year's process is a regression from last
year's, and is inconsistent with the degree of transparency and openness
that characterize good governance practices. I would like WMF to apply the
same standards to itself that it applies to the affiliates. I felt that
last year's process was a big step in the right direction, and the
regression this year is disappointing.

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.
