Thank you, Risker. You are a passionate, giving contributor to this movement. I mean it. Liam, I've now seen how much you do. Thank you. And I've come to enjoy your sense of humor. Bishakha, the rumors of your wonderfulness precede you. Thank you. Delphine, you're wise, deep, kind, and not taking it from anyone. Thank you.
Thank you to the entire committee. You do a lot of really good work. /a On Wed, Nov 22, 2017 at 3:19 AM, Delphine Ménard <dmen...@wikimedia.org> wrote: > Dear all, > > As is custom every year, the FDC during its deliberations has voted for > their new office bearers this round and has elected: > > Bishakha Datta as Chair > Liam Wyatt as Vice-Chair > Katherine Bavage as Secretary > > We would like to wholeheartedly thank Anne Clin (Risker) for her service as > chair in the last year and Lorenzo Losa for his service as secretary. > > The office bearers roles are described in the FDC handbook on meta > <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:APG/Funds_Dissemination_Committee/ > Handbook#Office-bearers> > . > > Welcome to Bishakha and Katherine in their new role and thanks to Liam for > his continuing service. > > Best, > > Delphine > > > > 2017-11-20 18:42 GMT+01:00 Bishakha Datta <bishakhada...@gmail.com>: > > > Dear Wikimedians, > > > > The Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) meets twice a year to make > > recommendations about how to effectively allocate movement funds to > achieve > > the Wikimedia movement's mission, vision, and strategy.
