Hi, I havent recieved any off list contact inquiring about bank details or follow up regarding when we will get the funding allocated to us. This has been pretty much dragging on and on. I really wish we could all move on with this, especially to the Paralympic project that John supports that involves paying people to publish a commercial book and create a commercial iPhone application.
But as the board seems to be keen to respond to e-mails, I feel they should have had time today to do lots of stuff, they should have had time to send us an e-mail off list to get our bank details to start the payment transfer process. This delay reflects badly on the board because it indicates the cannot handle money effectively. This is not something the board should be delaying on when they successfully got a grant of $0 for the chapter from the Foundation, do not appear to have appealed by stripping from funding request of everything does that not explicitly support WMF's goals and do not appear to be headed in that direction with the newest plan. As the amount requested is large and the response time is ... well, delayed, unless there is some indication that the board will be in touch with myself or bidgee privately to deal with this, I will go to meta with a link to WM-AU's funding approval and explain the situation and ask what recourse can be taken. I'll probably do this in about 24 to 48 hours. I'd rather not have to do this because I want to improve our chapter's chances of getting funding but if the board isn't responsible enough to handle it without intervention, then we're stuck.
