public review discussion of the WMF plan, and using that as a point of
departure to continue the discussion of planning from WMCON.

hi,
as a stepping down FDC member I agree with Risker only to some extent.
Sure, the FDC will have trouble with capacity for evaluation of the whole
plan. However, it is possible to single out some programs (the famous
'core' vs. 'non-core' division) and comment on them. It does not exclude a
Hi Sam,
That all sounds good. A couple of quick points:
1. What is meant by excellent goals and plans is open to interpretation
and dependent on context. For example, an excellent annual plan for a new
user group will look much different than an excellent annual plan for
WMFR or WMF, and I'm not

Perhaps in July we can have an office hour to discuss improvements to

Annual plans for any organization are a pain to develop and involve some

perhaps you're right. But keep in mind that the FDC has been set up
specifically as a committee advising the Board in this specific area, and
is composed of people with particular competence in finance, grants, etc.
Whichever body is chosen though, a longer feedback/comment period is
necessary.
It does make sense to me that there would be at least a month between
publication of the full draft plan, including the documentation that
requested, and the closure of the comment period.
In its current form the plan is too vague for me to support it as written.
I think that the WMF audit
This draft WMF annual plan was first published on Meta on the 25th.[1] It
was then announced by the mailing list late on the 26th. Yet the document
itself says, The comment period for this version will close May 29, 2015.
This gives approximately 3 days to engage in community consultation on the

I think it is safe to say that the FDC had a pretty clear consensus since
the very beginning that WMF should lead by example.
Also, the FDC's addition to general community feedback is possibly the only
practical way to deal with this issue - as the Board receives the plan too
late to make major

Garfield,
Sounds good. I look forward to seeing further development of the Plan.
Thank you for your work on this. Partially because of my involvement with
Cascadia Wikimedians' planning and budgeting, I'm aware of how much work is
likely involved in developing WMF's annual plan.

Hi Garfield,
Thanks for this update.

* Are SMART goals documented for each department? If so, where can we see
them?
