Thanks to WMDE for the thoughtful and very interesting feedback to the FDC. As an observer but not a participant, I found it very helpful in organizing and restating the criticism we've all read about the FDC process. The statement is highly constructive, and I understand why it doesn't get into great detail about proposed changes (that would detract from the overview nature of the statement).
The only off note was the declaration that WMDE plans to drive a reworking of the FDC process at a time and place of its choosing, inviting "movement entities" but not specifically the WMF. It needs to be recalled that the funds available, and the primary channel for gathering those funds, belong to the WMF and are under the sole final authority of the WMF's Board. Dariusz' suggestion for Wikimania makes sense; so would a separate convention for stakeholders organized by the FDC/WMF. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
