It seems clear to me, based on the end result and what foundation board and
senior staff have said, that they decided an account of money they wanted
to request from the FDC and then decided what to designate as non-core so
that it added up to that amount.
Rather disingenuous of them, but Sue has
Hi,
As agreed, the WMF is also sending their non-core program to the
FDC approval, you can see their proposal here:
