This would only make sense to me if the organization spending $500k is spending its own money. In this case, it's spending money donated to the WMF; that means it is subject to the level of scrutiny applied to the WMF, even if that money is spent on its behalf instead of by it. ~Nathan _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
