Dear members of the Wikimedia community, As you know, on April 28, the Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) made its Round 2 funding recommendations to the WMF Board of Trustees. [1] From the four proposals that were submitted in this round, the FDC recommended that two of these movement entities receive a total of $665,000 USD: they recommended $140,000 USD to Wikimedia Norge and $525,000 USD to Wikimédia France.
I am pleased to share with you the news that the Board of Trustees has made the decision to approve the FDC's 2012-2013 Round 2 funding recommendations. [2] These funding recommendations will now be implemented by the Foundation. Many members of our community provided significant and thoughtful input during Round 2. We would like to thank the Round 2 applicants, the Funds Dissemination Committee members and staff, the ombudsperson, and the members of the community who participated in the review period. We have learned much from this inaugural year of the FDC process, and we look forward to hearing from you about your experience. The WMF learning and evaluation team will be reaching out to those that participated in the process to collect feedback through surveys, and the ombudsperson will be collecting feedback as well. Learning collected through these processes will be shared in a report. Again, we thank you all for your dedication and commitment to this funding process. Best, Patricio Lorente, Board Representative to the FDC [1] http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/FDC_portal/FDC_recommendations/2012-2013_round2 [2] http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/FDC_portal/Board_decisions/2012-2013_round2 -- Patricio Lorente Blog: http://www.patriciolorente.com.ar Identi.ca // Twitter: @patriciolorente _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
