As I understand it, the FDC was basically suspended at the start of the movement strategy
discussions, and hasn’t met since. The funding for affiliates was apparently maintained at
a constant level during the suspension, and the future of the program depends on whatever
the movement strategy outcomes are. As a former FDC member, it’s a sad situation to see,
as the committee was doing valuable work that’s been lost due to uncertainty.
Hopefully the current FDC members / WMF staff / WMF board can provide more info on this
soon...
Thanks,
Mike

Hi all,
Does anyone know what the status of the APG process and the FDC is? The
documentation on-wiki seems to be out of date:
- The APG info page [1] says new applications are not being accepted,
and there's a bunch of errors in the table.
- The APG page [2] doesn't make reference to the above statement about
new applications not being accepted.
- The FDC page [3] says the terms of all of the members expired in
either 2018 or 2019, and doesn't make any reference to the above either.
Thanks!
Dan
