... Is it fair to assume that the WMF will take a dim view of
FDC-allocated funds being transferred to the WCA? I'm sure no chapters
anticipating an FDC allocation would like to put that at risk.
Would someone sitting on the FDC like to pick this one up?
there's nothing to pick up so far. The FDC has not held any meetings since
(obviously), and it generally operates within the mandate given by the
Board (which makes all decisions, FDC is only making recommendations). I
myself can reveal that I personally believe that for the WCA, or any other
entity basing on similar principles, FDC-based funding model is much better
(in terms of accountability, transparency, and also sensible strategy
creation) than membership fees.
The WMF board decision prevents the FDC from even making such a
suggestion.

This is not what Nathan asked, though; Nathan, of course the FDC may
change their mind, but as for the past the answer to your question is in
their last recommendations to the board (as far as I can see).
