hi Lodewijk,
first, this is basically a recommendation for the Board, not the final
allocation. However, regarding your specific question: We are not planning
on providing further detailed responses - we have already offered a great
many details in our overall recommendations in terms of process

Hey Thomas,
I think I can take this one. I think that the FDC has expressed that its up to
the WCA to determine its own financing model, while at the same time indicating
that the membership fees model might not be the optimal solution for this, and
that there are better ways)
At the same
hi Nathan,
other WCA-related costs are clearly pertaining to the fact of WCA being
organized. People need to travel, meet, etc. to make it happen. Just as
Thomas mentions, there needs to be funding for stuff that is not
operational yet, but being organized.
Membership fees though are not such a
Hi Dariusz,
it would probably be helpful if it were indicated when the 120% cap was
used as the sole reason to reduce the amount. Could you still add that to
the arguments? That would make it much more insightful. I was personally
under the impression the maximum was 150% by the way, but that

I send this mail as a representative of Wikimedia France.
Wikimedia France acknowledges and agrees with the FDC decision.
The arguments provided with the decision makes sense to us.
Wikimedia France will submit, if possible, a request for the round 2.

I agree that the explanations could be more details. In particular, I would
be interested to know where some of the numbers came from. For example,
take WMUK. I agree that WMUK's plan was over ambitious, but how did the FDC
come to that particular recommendation? Presumably they had some kind of

hi Lodewijk,
I think it is clear that not trusting them with the money was not the
case with any of the chapters. We have not been relying just on one
technicality of 120%, but also taking into account the size of the
organization, the actual project (specifically, if the growth was justified
What you would like is that the FDC recommendation was including more
arguments detailling why they reached that conclusion?
I believe the proposal talk page includes all the necessary data, as
the FDC gave its feedback on the talk pages, but you would like to
have those discussions summed up

Hey Lodewijk,
So a few points, first of all you have a very subjective view of the situation
and present it as the general view. You cite a bad precedent and lack of
sufficient detail. Lets be clear: this is bad in YOUR view and YOU feel that
there should be more detail, that does not mean
