As WMF continues to focus on "integration" as a major theme in 2015, we'll certainly be giving the big picture of all our grantmaking structures, impact assessments, etc some further thought. Any updates to grant programs would happen in consult with the committees and broader community, so you can expect that the program officers and I will be having more conversations on this topic with you all over the coming year (no sudden changes, lots of measured thought).
