Encaminhando o email que a Oona tentou encaminhar, mas saiu cortado. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Asaf Bartov Date: 2012/7/2 Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Help decide about more than $10 million of movement funds in the coming year To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedi...@lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi all, as many of you are aware, the Wikimedia Board of Trustees recently initiated substantial changes in the way that money is being distributed within the Wikimedia movement. As part of this, a new community-led Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC[1]) is currently being established. Already in 2012-13, its recommendations will guide the decisions on *how over 10 million dollars of movement funds will be **distributed* to the Foundation, chapters and other movement groups. Much preparation work has been done in the last months, aided by an advisory group[2], and on Friday the "Framework for the Creation and Initial Operation of the FDC"[3] was sent to the Board of Trustees for consideration. As you can imagine, *it is now of vital importance to find capable, **knowledgeable and trustworthy community members who volunteer to serve **on the initial Fund Dissemination Committee*, which is expected to take up its work in September. If you are interested in serving on the future FDC, please read our *call for volunteers*[4] and add your name to the *nominations* page[5]. You will be contacted shortly and asked to make a statement. Also, if you know of other community members that you would trust to serve on this committee, encourage them to apply. Nominations are planned to close on August 15. You can read the *proposal*[3] to get an idea of what the FDC will be tasked with, and what kind of work and background are expected of its volunteer members. Please help echo this message throughout our movement, on local language lists, community lists, and special-interest lists, as appropriate. I am happy to answer any questions, by e-mail or (preferably) via the talk pages of these pages, so others can benefit from the answers.
