The total expense budget for 08-09 is only $6M, so we are already fully funded for fiscal 08-09. And that's not counting donor and non-donor income still expected during the rest of fiscal 08-09. We are going to exceed the revenue targets by a significant margin. Moving to a thank you stance is an appropriate change. -Robert Rohde _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
