Itzik: There are no new requirements in this process, the reports requested reflect the reports needed by the chapter agreement and the FDC process. As for format of the 2012 activity report, I suggest you look at chapter reports http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Reports to see what presentation

Thanks Sam for the clarification. I'm sorry to hear this was not discussed in the board apparently. I hope you will be able to share the outcome of that discussion to remove any uncertainty that may have remained. I do agree that there was no major change in how the annual plan was handled this

Hi Anasuya and Garfield, please allow me a quick question: * In 2012-13, the FDC grants (round 1 and 2) were $4.7 M plus the WMF FDC grant of $4.5 M = a total of $9.2 M. * In 2013-14, the FDC grants are budgeted with a total of $6 M. What is unclear to me is if this $6 M are including the FDC

Hi Garfield, I must say I'm surprised from the new requirements. Eligible entities of last year now need to send by 15 September documents about 2012 - a year that is totally unrelated to the FDC process that started only this year? Why it been decided only now? We are not hiding a thing, but

Hi Itzik, As far as I understand, the activity report is a requirement in the chapters agreement, which the WMF is finally starting to take somewhat seriously. (§8 [1]) But otherwise I agree that the FDC process requires quite a bit of time spent on it throughout the year. Best regards, Bence

Hi, Garfield correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember that WMF said that even an automated translation of the annual report was fine, same was for the financial report. Is that still the case or do you need human translation? As, as far as I know, most entities are already doing an annual
