Greetings, all: Staff proposal assessments have been posted on Meta for three proposals that were submitted in 2013-2014 Round 2. At the FDC's request, FDC staff have not published an assessment for the WMF proposal; however, an assessment of the WMF proposal has been published by WMDE.
The proposal assessments are each linked to from the "Proposals" page for this round: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:APG/FDC_portal/Proposals/2013-2014_round2<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/FDC_portal/Proposals/2013-2014_round2> . You may also visit an overview of the financial information presented in these proposals, which includes information for all proposals in this round: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/FDC_portal/Proposals/2013-2014_round2/Financial_overview . The Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) makes recommendations about how to allocate Wikimedia movement funds to support an organization’s overall annual plan to achieve mission objectives. We encourage you to visit the portal if you would like more information about the FDC process, or would like to discuss the process: http://meta.wikimedia .org/wiki/Grants:APG/FDC_portal. Staff proposal assessments are but one of many inputs into the FDC process. With this round's assessments we (FDC staff) have included a more detailed explanation of our methodology. The assessments reflect the work of FDC staff who read the proposals, review past and current reports, receive internal input from WMF Finance, Programs, Legal, and Grantmaking, and consider a portfolio view across all proposals in this round. They do not reflect the analysis or views of the FDC or any of its individual members. The FDC will meet in late may to deliberate on these proposals, and will consider these staff proposal assessments along with many other inputs into the FDC process. For more information about the purpose of these assessments and how they fit into the FDC process overall, please visit: http://meta. wikimedia .org/wiki/Funds_Dissemination_Committee/Framework_for_the_Creation_and_Initial_Operation_of_the_FDC#Process_overview . We welcome discussion about individual assessments on the discussion page of each assessment, or discussion about the process overall on the FDC portal: *https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/FDC_portal/Comments <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/FDC_portal/Comments>*. Best regards from FDC staff!
