Hi Nathan, Just on the fundraiser point -- the idea of the new FDC (funds dissemination committee) process is that chapter budget allocations would be totally independent of how much they do or don't raise via payment-processing -- on the principle that funds should be allocated according to need/impact, rather than tied to or based on in-country fundraising stats. So WMUK's budget planning process shouldn't be changed, aside from maybe how they plan for the fundraiser, since they would prepare a project budget for review either way. -- Phoebe (not speaking for anyone!) _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
