Hi all, One thing we forgot to mention is that the FDC staff will still be doing the financial and other quantitative data analysis, since this is a quantitative analysis that is based on public data and standard calculations. WMDE (and anyone else) are invited to point out any discrepancies they find with these data from the proposal on the talk page.
