Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] (press release) Frank Schulenburg named executive director of new Wiki Education Foundation
Hi, Mike. For an answer to your question about the name, please see this conversation[1] on Meta. Our board is active answering questions on wiki and not on mailing lists, so I encourage you to post questions to the Wiki Education Foundation board on Meta. Hope that answers it for you, Jami [1] See https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wiki_Education_Foundation#Organization_Name On Thu, Feb 13, 2014 at 2:01 PM, Michael Peel em...@mikepeel.net wrote: Hi all, Frank, congratulations on the new job. :-) Can I ask for a clarification on the funding situation please? (1) WMF grant money The Wiki Education Foundation received a grant to get things off the ground last year as part of the Projects and Events Grants process. The Wiki Education Foundation has already reached out to a major donor in the United States and is confident to get third-party funding in place by the second quarter of this year. Are you anticipating that direct donors will be able to support all of WEF's future funding needs, or might you be applying to GAC or FDC for funding in the future? I'd also like to echo Andy's question: ...why isn't this called The Wiki Education North America Foundation,, or suchlike? as that would seem to be a more natural name for the organisation (unless it has international intentions?), and would help avoid the confusion between 'WEF' and 'WMF'. Also, as a general question to those involved, the announcement QA says: He was chosen by the Board of the Wiki Education Foundation in a process that began in late 2013 and concluded in February 2014. Please could more details of that process be shared? What was the process, how was it structured, and who was involved in it?
