Hallo zusammen, wie in den letzten Monaten punktuell berichtet wurde die Geldverteilung innerhalb der Wikimedia-Bewegung von der Wikimedia Foundation neu geregelt.
Das "Funds Dissemination Committee", kurz: FDC, wird künftig die Jahresbudgets der Wikimedia-Organisationen prüfen und genehmigen die von der Wikimedia Foundation Geld bekommen werden. Das betrifft alle Wikimedia-Organisationen, die Geld über die Spendenaktionen in den Wikimedia-Projekten (sprich: Spendenbanner in Wikipedia etc.) erhalten. Das betrifft ebenso diese Wikimedia-Vereine, die noch selber die Spenden verarbeiten dürfen. Alle von Wikimedia-Spenden gesponserten Organisationen werden künftig ihren Geldbedarf beim FDC anmelden, dort prüfen und genehmigen lassen. Das FDC besteht aus verschiedenen Personen: Wikimedia Foundation-Mitarbeitern, Community-Mitgliedern etc. Jetzt ist die Chance einzusteigen - wer möchte beim FDC mitmachen und bei der Geldverteilung ein Wörtchen mitreden? Im angehängten Mail von Garfield Byrd, Finanzchef der Wikimedia Foundation, gibt es noch viele weitere Details und Links. Melden zum Mitmachen kann man sich bis zum 15. August: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Funds_Dissemination_Committee/Nominations Wir möchten Euch ermutigen teilzunehmen! Viele Grüsse, Manuel
--- Begin Message ---Dear Wikimedia Community, As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees passed a resolution two weeks ago, to establish the Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) [1]. Full details about the planned structure and processes of the FDC can be found in the framework proposed to the Board [2]. This framework was developed over the past few months with input from a variety of people across the movement. It is now time to set this plan in motion. There are a couple of next steps we want you to be aware of: 1. Establishing the first Funds Dissemination Committee: If you are interested in nominating yourself to serve either as an FDC member or as the FDC Ombudsperson, please submit your nomination by August 15th. The Board will appoint the first members by the beginning of September [3]. 2. Identifying eligible entities: Today, the Foundation has published a list of eligible entities [4] based on the eligibility criteria established in the framework [5]. Please let us know if you believe there are any corrections to be made to this list. Entities are categorised into ‘Yes’, ‘Yes, If’ and ‘No’ categories based on the eligibility criteria. Entities who are interested in applying for funds through the FDC but are ineligible due to compliance issues (i.e. those who fall into the ‘Yes, If’ category detailed in the list above) should work with the Foundation to develop a plan to correct compliance issues. Entities who are ineligible for other reasons - or who would prefer not to go through the FDC process in this round - may seek funding through the Wikimedia Foundation Grants Program[6]. 3. Beginning the applications process for the first round of funding: The first round of applications for funding will be due October 1st. FDC proposal forms will be posted on the FDC portal (a hub for FDC related information that is currently being set up) on Meta by August 1st. We strongly encourage eligible entities to begin filling out the proposals to the FDC well in advance of the October 1st deadline, particularly to support time for translation, if necessary, and to answer any questions or clarifications. I would appreciate entities who are interested in applying for the upcoming round of funding, emailing me as soon as possible stating your interest. In addition, do let me know if you have any questions, clarifications or concerns about meeting the eligibility gap. This will help us best support you. Additionally, as I mentioned in my message on Friday, we will be holding two sets of IRC office hours on Wednesday 25 July. I will be present, with Barry, Anasuya (our new Director of Global Learning and Grantmaking) and Asaf, to answer any questions you have about the FDC process and the steps outlined here; in particular, the first step of establishing the eligibility to apply to the FDC. Office hours will be held: · 16:00-17:00 UTC/09:00 PDT Wednesday, July 25th · 23:00-23:59 UTC/16:00 PDT Wednesday, July 25th Please join us during these times at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_office_hours We are excited to get this process launched and want to send a huge thank you to all of you who were involved in getting it kicked off!
