Hi - I want to make you all aware that several chapters (AT, AU, CH, DE, FR, HU, SE, UK) have posted program plans for 2012. There are links to the plans on Meta [1]. These plans present an important picture of what these chapters propose to do in the year ahead. I'd like to thank the chapter boards and staff for their efforts to get this done by 1 October to help us all in planning targets for the fundraiser. The plans combined with WMF's annual plan [2] also provide a picture of the kind of activities that are planned for key areas of the movement. This is the first time we have implemented such an approach, so I'm sure it required significant work and ingenuity to pull them together. I would encourage anyone interested in the plans to read them and to provide your feedback either on the talk pages of the plans or if you have general observations, then post them on the Meta page or on this list. The next step in this process is to review the plans and then in the case of chapters who are supporting fundraising, we'll need to agree on a fundraising target (in situations where the requested target is >150% of the chapter's 2010 fundraising share). For chapters who are working on a grant, we'll need to agree on the plan to finalize the grant amount. We expect to move forward on these in a timely fashion.
