Agenda talk:2012-02

When talking about funds dissemination, it would be worth exploring why Grants:Laura Hale, Courcelles, Hawkeye7, Chzz/Outreach Oceania, Grants:Arvin Ello/RecentChangesCamp2012 and Grants:Wikitanvir/RecentChangesCamp 2012 rejected by a WMF fellow had acceptances for Grants:SarahStierch/GLAM WIKI Santiago attendance‎ and two other participations grants. The ROI on the first three seems much more clear, whereas the ROI on Sarah's three trips while a WMF fellow and getting paid by the foundation seems less clear. The funding priorities appear to favour an ingroup at the expense of the Foundation's mission. --LauraHale 23:12, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comments on the agenda and suggestions are warmly welcome, but this is too specific and operational a topic to be discussed at a Board meeting. You might try developing a page for comparative grant review -- a peer review process separate from GAC might help some grants improve their reception. –SJ talk | translate 21:24, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
