Hi Steven,If I may, I have a different reading on the topic. Knowledge Equity is a topic because for centuries knowledges have been destroyed, banned, etc? as such, and with our current rules with written sources, funding any organisation empowering marginalised communities is critical.If we were

That would be a great discussion indeed to set the line.But it?s the different from what you started the discussion with where you were saying ?we all should want?.I want us to make things that move the needle regarding knowledge equity and that probably require outside of the projects programs.As

This is really really disappointing to see. The lessons noted in the blog post totally miss the point as to why the Wikimedia community has objected to Knowledge Equity Fund. The issue is not community oversight via committees or visibility into the work. It’s that the work had no demonstrable
