Thanks for the question, Nemo (and for the response, Kevin). I think this is one of the issues I hope to work out with AffCom and others in the months to come - whether local organisations like CIS (in India) become recognised as Wikimedia partner organisations. My understanding was that the original premise in the affiliation model may have been to consider global organisations as partner organisations in this fashion, but we need to confirm how the model will work now that we have some real life examples. In any case, we'll make sure to figure out the appropriate way to establish the legitimacy and eligibility of orgaisations such as these so that they can apply to the FDC for annual plan funding going forward. Stay tuned. :-) Anasuya -- ***Anasuya Sengupta Senior Director of Grantmaking Wikimedia Foundation* * * Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.
