Hi Katy, thanks for sharing.
As a minor suggestion, to me it would be helpful if you could be a little more specific than 'we' in your responses. Are you in those instances speaking for your own (with your specific expertise), for a group of WMF staffers, for the FDC, for the whole Foundation etc? Knowing that would make it a bit more insightful.
