Greetings to all: We wanted to let you know that the staff proposal assessments have been posted on Meta for all proposals that were submitted in 2013-2014 Round 1: * The proposal assessments are each linked to from the "Proposals" page for this round: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/FDC_portal/Proposals/2013-2014_round1<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/FDC_portal/Proposals> * All proposal assessments for this round are also found in this category on Meta: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:FDC_Staff_proposal_assessments_for_2013-2014_round1
You may also visit an overview of the financial information presented in these proposals, which includes information for all proposals in this round: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/FDC_portal/Proposals/2013-2014_round1/Financial_overview . The Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) makes recommendations about how to allocate Wikimedia movement funds to support an organization’s overall annual plan to achieve mission objectives. We encourage you to visit the portal if you would like more information about the FDC process, or would like to discuss the process: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/FDC_portal. In brief, staff assessments are but one of many inputs into the FDC process. With this round's assessments we (FDC staff) have included a more detailed explanation of our methodology. The assessments reflect the work of FDC staff who read the proposals, review past and current reports, receive internal input from WMF Finance, Programs, Legal, and Grantmaking, and consider a portfolio view across all proposals in this round. They do not reflect the analysis or views of the FDC or any of its individual members. The FDC will meet from 17 November to 22 November to deliberate on these proposals, and will consider these staff proposal assessments along with many other inputs into the FDC process. For more information about the purpose of these assessments and how they fit into the FDC process overall, please visit: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Funds_Dissemination_Committee/Framework_for_the_Creation_and_Initial_Operation_of_the_FDC#Process_overview . We welcome discussion about individual assessments on the discussion page of each assessment, or discussion about the process overall on the FDC portal: *https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/FDC_portal/Comments <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/FDC_portal/Comments>*. Best regards from FDC staff!
