Hello Strainu,
Thank you for bringing the wording on our meta page to my attention. I will
be updating the page with the new changes effective July 1st. Yes, we are
instituting the application window of 1st - 15th of the month to facilitate
a quicker response time. As I mentioned in my previous email we're hopeful
that this timeline will help with workflow and better communication with
community members.
Best regards,
Woubzena

3. On your third point of having the 1st - 15th
of the month be an open
application time, this is also an experiment. We hope that this focused,
clear timeline will allow us to respond more quickly and help community
members understand the state of their application more easily.
Woubzena, there used to be a time when the promise of the Rapid grants
was that they would be reviewed weekly. I understand this is no longer
possible, even if the wording is still present on meta. Does the new
rule imply a promise from the WMF that the grants will be granted or
refused withing the same calendar month?
Regards,
Strainu
