Declaração | Na minha opinião, a responsabilidade fundamental da FDC é fazer uma distribuição transparente e racional do dinheiro dos doadores para as afiliadas da Wikimedia, sustentando, portanto, o movimento Wikimedia em todo o mundo. Fortalecer o movimento através de todas as afiliadas por distribuição adequada de recursos e ultrapassar as questões burocráticas iminentes ao mesmo tempo em que aderir aos objetivos da missão do movimento são os desafios para a FDC. Como membro da FDC, pretendo trabalhar sobre as seguintes questões:
Eu sou um membro fundador do conselho da Wikimedia Bangladesh e tenho estado envolvido em programas de gestão e organização desde o seu início. Eu ganhei experiência relativa à eficácia organizacional e eu gostaria de trazer essas experiências para a FDC. | |
Perguntas obrigatórias | 1. Quais de suas experiências você acha que melhorará o trabalho e o processo de recomendação do FDC?
I was involved in the formation of Wikimedia Bangladesh (WMBD) and since then, as a board member, I've been working on organizing and managing programs throughout the country. Most of these programs were in partnerships with educational or commercial organizations. I have been involved in decision making issues of the chapter and has worked on allocating resources, including money from sponsorship, to materialize programs. So far I've been mostly involved in implementing programs, sometimes within resource constraints.
I have experience as a grantee of the WMF. I have created this grant.
2. Como é que a sua história com a Wikimedia torna-o apto para a FDC? I am a Wikimedian since 2009 and I have helped form the chapter WMBD in 2011. Among the Wikimedia projects, I have mostly contributed to the Bengali Wikipedia and I was appointed a sysop there in early 2015. As a board member, I have been involved in implementing and organizing most of the programs by the chapter. Currently I am also serving as Director of Outreach of WMBD's Operations Committee as well as a member of the Membership Subcommittee to manage issues related to recruiting members for the chapter. With a view to expanding the Wikimedia community in Bangladesh, I had the chance to conduct workshops in different parts of the country. I participated the Wikimedia Conference 2014 on behalf of WMBD. Currently I am serving as a member of the Programme Team for the Wikimedia Conference 2015 to be held in Berlin. I am also working as a member of the organizing committee of ongoing 10th Anniversary Programs of Bengali Wikipedia. In order to enhance the collaboration between the Wikimedia community of India and Bangladesh, I participated in the international conference in Kolkata. From my experiences, I believe I've gained a fair insight into the growth of Wikimedia movement in Bangladesh and an overall understanding of the state of the movement through engaging in discussions over mailing lists, events or wikis.

Declaração | Saudações! Eu fui um usuário de longa data da plataforma Wikimedia e apoio sem reservas a missão e a visão da fundação. Acredito que o voluntariado de meu tempo como membro da WDC seria a melhor aplicação de minhas habilidades e experiência para ajudar a Wikimedia realizar o seu plano estratégico. Além disso, eu represento não só a região da América do Norte, mas também tenho uma formação diversificada sendo parte chinês e parte persa (com inglês, francês e espanhol no histórico da família também).
A Fundação tem uma tremenda oportunidade de criar um impacto mundial significativo, fornecendo subsídios, mas confia na comunidade Wikimedia e na FDC para garantir que os fundos sejam apropriados de forma eficaz. Vou envolver a comunidade e manter as seguintes linhas de ação:

Perguntas obrigatórias | 1. Quais de suas experiências você acha que melhorará o trabalho e o processo de recomendação do FDC?
I graduated from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania with concentrations in Management and Operations (specialized in Business Analytics). During the day I work as a private-sector consultant, and by night I provide strategy consulting to nonprofits. In my free time, I work on a number of projects including starting a nationwide nonprofit organization related to the arts, an internet startup in the consulting domain, and I, slowly, write nonfiction. I have extensive experience in creating mission and vision statements, analyzing business processes, writing annual reports, and reviewing program effectiveness. I have both led nonprofit organizations with 5 figure revenues and provided consulting work for multi-million dollar organizations. I believe these skills align with what the WDC is looking for and would greatly aid in analyzing the overall return of projects applying to the WDC.
I have prior experience as a grant writer for a couple nonprofits I have volunteered for. In that process, I have been involved in researching successful past grant awards, creating programs that would best meet the requirements of grant programs, and writing requests for proposals.
2. Como é que a sua história com a Wikimedia torna-o apto para a FDC? I’ve supported Wikimedia since I began using Wikipedia over 10 years ago both publicly and practically. Publicly, I’m a strong supporter of what Wikimedia stands for and getting its projects accepted by the educators. Practically, I try to make a meaningful impact within my current area of interest on en-wiki whenever I get a chance. Otherwise, I believe I would be able to provide an objective, impartial perspective and voice for the Wikimedia community. In addition, I will make the WDC my priority and commit the time needed to stand by the Foundation.

Declaração | A FDC é o braço executivo do movimento. As suas decisões são cruciais para o desenvolvimento das organizações e para todo o movimento.
Tenho sido um dos grandes apoiadores para esse tipo de comitê de comunidade. O movimento foi construído e é dirigido por voluntários, que são os mais adequados para liderar o movimento. Como o presidente da WMIL, tomei parte no processo desde o primeiro passo, altamente envolvido como um donatário mas, quando necessário, também como crítico. Estou satisfeito de que, ao longo dos anos, muitas das minhas propostas têm sido implementadas, tornando-a melhor para todos. Uma delas é a necessidade de fornecer retorno detalhado aos donatários sobre as decisões. Este deve ser um dos principais objetivos do comitê - não só para chegar a decisões sobre o montante de verbas, mas também para compartilhar conhecimento e melhores práticas com as afiliadas a fim de ensiná-las. Nós não somos como outras fundações - nossos donatários fazem parte de nosso movimento. As nossas decisões devem ser profissionais, mas também eficazes e de apoio a eles. Nós devemos ter como objetivo ver mais e diversos donatários, trabalhando de uma maneira eficaz e transparente - em conjunto, como um movimento - não como indivíduos. É um terrível desperdício de dinheiro quando uma organização está gastando dinheiro para desenvolver a mesma infraestrutura que outra organização também está desenvolvendo. Temos futuro mais brilhante fazendo o conhecimento no mundo mais acessível e livre, e nós devemos e podemos fazer isso juntos. | |
Perguntas obrigatórias | 1. Quais de suas experiências você acha que melhorará o trabalho e o processo de recomendação do FDC?
In my professional life - as VP Government Affairs at one of Israel’s leading digital companies, I'm in charge of our major clients, among them the President of Israel, politicians and ministries - and I helping them plan and execute projects worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Previously, I held several executive positions, including deputy operations officer at the IDF’s Central Computing System Unit– where I was in charge of many software and infrastructure projects totaling millions of dollars. Since the establishment of Wikimedia Israel, and as its current Chairperson, I'm very involved in the Wikimedia movement – growing the chapter’s budget from a $10,000 to $250,000, and serving as co-producer of Wikimania, 2011 held in Haifa.
I served as a GAC member, and I have a strong knowledge and experience writing WMIL grant requests, and through reading and studying other affiliations and external organizations grants requests.
2. Como é que a sua história com a Wikimedia torna-o apto para a FDC? As a member of the movement for almost a decade, I have taken part in many of the changes the movement has experienced. On one hand, I support and believe in the need for financial and resource support for the organizations within the movement, but at the same time – the need to distribute the resources in an equal and efficient way while ensuring the intelligent use of the donors’ money. I believe my views on the subject are well known, i.e.- It is very important to work as an international movement but at the same time, not to become a "Wikimedia travel agency". Every dollar spent should be considered as if it was our own money. And that applies both to the foundation, chapters and other affiliations. I lead WMIL to cooperate with many organizations and ministries and I believe the strength of chapters around the world is their ability not only to execute the program locally, but also to serve as the representatives of the movement, allowing to it to expand and to work and make an impact by cooperating with others. I believe my many years of experience with movement’s projects (both successful and less successful), my familiarity with the organizations, administrations and budget management will be useful for the FDC decision-making process. | |

Perguntas obrigatórias | 1. Quais de suas experiências você acha que melhorará o trabalho e o processo de recomendação do FDC?
I
served as a Wikimedia UK board member for 5 years, which gave me experience with managing budgets from £500 to £500,000+. This included helping put together the first activities of the chapter; hiring part-time employees for the first time for the organisation, and later hiring a chief executive; and establishing an office with a wide range of ongoing activities in a large number of different areas. I organised the first-ever Wikimedia editathon (at least, under that name) at the British Library in 2011, and I assisted with the creation of the first Wikimedian in Residence position and the second GLAM-WIKI conference, both at the British Museum. I believe that I have a good understanding of what is possible for an organisation to do at various stages of development, although I also think that the Wikimedia organisations need be doing a lot more than they are currently doing to support the Wikimedia community and to effectively further Wikimedia's goals.
I have experience of grantmaking within Wikimedia: I led the WMUK microgrants program for several years, and I served on the FDC for two years. In addition, my day job (as a postdoctoral researcher in radio astronomy) is funded by grants, so I have a reasonable (albeit second-hand) understanding of the process of applying for funds, the decision-making process, and the importance for making timely and logical decisions.
2. Como é que a sua história com a Wikimedia torna-o apto para a FDC? I have been part of the Wikimedia movement for over a decade. I've made over 58,000 edits to the Wikimedia wikis so far. I was a founding board member of Wikimedia UK in 2008, and I served on its board for 5 years as its Membership Secretary (2008-09), Chair (09-10) and Secretary (10-13), giving me experience of leading a Wikimedia organisation, as well as understanding all of the elements of the work that the Wikimedia organisations do. I also served on the FDC as an ordinary member (2013-14) and as its Secretary (13-14). I aim to be as transparent as I can be (which is not always easy/possible!). With regards to my previous involvement with the FDC, you can see my 2013 pledge and COI statement and a record of my compensation for expenses from Wikimedia. I also publicly posted some thoughts on the FDC process in 2014. | |

Perguntas obrigatórias | 1. Quais de suas experiências você acha que melhorará o trabalho e o processo de recomendação do FDC?
I earned a Ph.D. in finance and taught finance for many years mainly in MBA programs, including long periods in Moscow, Russia, and Budapest, Hungary, before retiring This experience has made me very familiar with methods of making financial decisions, as well as exposed me to different cultures, and different people. I was part of the planning of the FDC itself in 2012 as part of the FDC advisory committee, and of its two-year evaluation last year, so I'm familiar with the basic process. In academia there are always different programs and committees that require input or direction. For example, in Moscow I was Acting Dean for a year and for three years ran a Chartered Financial Analyst exam review program. In Budapest I was the equivalent of a Department Head.
The grant making process runs throughout academia. My favorite experience with grants was being part of a committee for 2 years that advised the US Embassy in Moscow on awarding Fulbright Scholarships to Russian scholars who wished to study and conduct research in America. 2. Como é que a sua história com a Wikimedia torna-o apto para a FDC? I've worked with many of the types or organizations that ask for funding. I was the US coordinator for Wiki Loves Monuments in its first year. I've worked, off-and-on, with GLAM projects since the start of Wikimedia's GLAM connection, e.g. with the Delaware Art Museum and a current project with the Presbyterian Historical Society. Though I live in Philadelphia, I've participated in many NYC and Washington DC chapter activities. I'm currently a member of Wikimedia DC. Mostly though I like to take photos and write articles on Wikipedia on a broad range of topics, but mostly related to local history. For all the importance of chapters and organizations like GLAM, we always need to remember the folks who write and illustrate our encyclopedias and other projects. | |

Declaração | Sou uma pessoa jovem e enérgica, e estou muito entusiasmado com a visão e os objetivos da Fundação Wikimedia. Estou animado com as oportunidades que o nosso trabalho oferece e oferecerá ao mundo no futuro próximo.
É um privilégio fazer parte desta renomada instituição e desempenhar um papel tão importante na nossa visão. Acredito que, por meio do papel do FDC, podemos garantir um bom uso do nosso dinheiro e, em grande medida, garantir também um uso eficiente e sensato dos nossos recursos para atingirmos o propósito da comunidade. O aumento do número de grupos e instituições afiliados exige um comitê mais autônomo e informado nas áreas de grande importância, daí surgiu o Comitê de Fundos e Disseminação (FDC). Estou disposto a utilizar minhas habilidades e experiência para complementar as atividades desse comitê e garantir que decisões prudentes e relevantes sejam tomadas no que diz respeito a subsídios, além de prestar serviços de assessoria para a diretoria. | |
Perguntas obrigatórias | 1. Quais de suas experiências você acha que melhorará o trabalho e o processo de recomendação do FDC?
My knowledge in Finance acquired from my tertiary education compliments the roles of this position. My experiences from previous job roles have afforded me the opportunity to work closely on credit analysis, budget appraisal and acquired an appreciable knowledge in audits and processes. I currently occupy the role of the Finance Manager and a Business Development & Accounts Manager for the Ghana Volunteer Program and Cal Bank Limited respectively. I understand the crucial nature of budget appraisal and spending, I will be honored to use my knowledge and experience to streamline our grant system and ensure control mechanisms are put in place to avoid income leakages by ensuring proper checks and balances are rightly in place.
At my position as the Finance manager for the Ghana Volunteer Program, I manage the distribution of funds to support projects around our activities and to individuals organizing volunteer activities in Ghana. I am a grant recipient of the Wikimedia Foundation and many other affiliations, I have gained relevant experience in grant writing and perfectly understand the processes and requirements for a successful grant.
2. Como é que a sua história com a Wikimedia torna-o apto para a FDC? In my past two and a half years with the foundation I have learned and risen through to the ranks of the community manager of the Ghanaian Wikimedian Community (Wikimedia Ghana Usergroup). I have yearned to contribute substantially to the foundation and ever since I joined have been earnestly working towards that. I have led my community to increase engagement and participation, held successful projects and participated in campaigns that will enhance the image of the foundation.

Perguntas obrigatórias | 1. Quais de suas experiências você acha que melhorará o trabalho e o processo de recomendação do FDC?
I have a strong track record of identifying and supporting innovative Wikimedia activities so that they are successful, scalable and replicable - most especially in the field of GLAM outreach and partnerships. Over the last several years the scale and proportion of Chapters’ investment in GLAM activities has grown significantly and I have frequently been asked to advise on planning or help with the implementation of these programs. One effect of this growth in partnership projects is a direct and positive correlation with the professionalism and organisational stability of the Chapters that operate them. In my previous work with the National Library of Australia and Creative Commons Australia as well as my current work with Europeana, I have been involved in the complete lifecycle of annual-planning - from reviewing previous projects (successful, unsuccessful, incomplete) to building new strategy and determining operational goals, funding application (and revisions!) as well as implementation and ongoing reporting.
I have been involved in many aspects of the WMF grantmaking process for many years - both as adviser and as recipient. I was an inaugural member of the "Individual Engagement Grants" committee; I oversaw several events that received "Project & Event" grants; and I have successfully applied for two "Travel & Participation" grants. 2. Como é que a sua história com a Wikimedia torna-o apto para a FDC? For almost a decade and have been deeply involved in movement-wide discussions on the nature of fundraising, funds dissemination, the role of affiliates and the WMF as well as the professionalisation of organisations. Over that time I have seen the processes change and evolve. I have worked for the WMF as a contractor; been an executive member of a Chapter; received and coordinated several grants at different levels; and worked closely with a dozen other affiliate organisations - from the biggest chapters to external non-profit organisations and small Wikimedia user-groups. This “institutional memory” will be very important in deliberating on individual proposals as well as helping to shape the recommendation principles of the committee. I have been involved in many aspects of the community. I am most proud of being the founder of our GLAM project and being the first Wikipedian-in-Residence. I have helped organise or been involved with projects run by many chapters and community groups across the world, convened three Wikimedia outreach conferences and three international workshops. I have also been the WMF’s Cultural Partnerships Fellow; the vice-president of Wikimedia Australia; and co-host of the Wikipedia Weekly podcast. I live in Italy and work for Europeana as Wikimedia liaison. I and previously coordinated digital engagement at the National Library of Australia and Creative Commons Australia. My academic work includes a thesis on the Historiography of Wikipedia and I have a Masters degree in Intellectual Property Law. | |

Declaração | O FDC está amadurecendo e estabilizando seu processo, mas às vezes as recomendações do FDC são imprevisíveis e já foram colocadas em questão. Os candidatos ao FDC enfrentam um conjunto cada vez maior de padrões a serem cumpridos para propostas e relatórios. Responsabilidades são necessárias, mas algumas exigências não estimulam os candidatos a inovar. Alguns afiliados estão tendo um ótimo impacto em seu ambiente sem o reconhecimento de suas conquistas no sistema atual de medidas e avaliações. O FDC deve estimular o surgimento de novos afiliados no Sul Global em vez de impedir o crescimento dos afiliados existentes no Norte Global.
Capítulos e outras entidades afiliadas preferem ser avaliados e revisados por colegas da mesma área. Como ex-tesoureiro e membro atual da diretoria da Wikimedia Nederland, sou um desses colegas. | |
Perguntas obrigatórias | 1. Quais de suas experiências você acha que melhorará o trabalho e o processo de recomendação do FDC?
Since 2012 I’m a board member of Wikimedia Nederland starting as treasurer. At that time WMNL didn’t have any employees. Now WMNL is a professional organization with six staff members and some contractors. I’ve been involved in developing annual plans and grant application for WMNL since 2012 four times including reporting and overseeing reporting.
In my daytime job I have had experience with coordinating evaluations of a several dozens grants in a program totalling several hundred million euro. For Wikimedia Nederland I have been involved in setting up and executing a micro grant program. Last year and this year I have developed and overseen a scholarship program for Wikimania.
2. Como é que a sua história com a Wikimedia torna-o apto para a FDC? Prior to becoming a board member of WMNL I served on the Audit Committee of the Wikimedia Foundation in the period 2007 to 2012. I have visited the Wikimedia Conferences in Berlin and Milan several times. I have visited Wikimania Haifa, Hong Kong and London. I graduated in 1992 in Economics and Business Adminstration at Maastricht University.

Declaração | O FDC é uma peça central do nosso movimento. Não se trata apenas de subsídios; trata-se de um processo participativo. Os fundos não são o único problema em questão aqui. É fundamental que nos lembremos de nossos principais valores, entre eles:
Para cumprir sua função e distribuir o dinheiro dos doadores de forma eficaz, acredito que o FDC enfrenta alguns desafios:
O FDC é mais que um comitê técnico. Ele toma decisões técnicas, mas para que possamos apoiar a nossa missão e de acordo com os nossos valores. Esses valores são o motivo pelo qual temos um comitê. A Fundação poderia contratar nove técnicos, mas isso não funcionaria. Não seriam tão participativos e transparentes. Não estariam tão envolvidos no nosso movimento. | |
Perguntas obrigatórias | 1. Quais de suas experiências você acha que melhorará o trabalho e o processo de recomendação do FDC?
In nine years in Wikimedia Italia, I've took part / directed a number of programs, ranging from educational programs to partnerships with cultural institutions, organizing conferences and public events, and so on. More recently, I've worked on WMI's strategic plan. Looking outside Wikimedia, one year ago I co-founded a startup company: business plans are now my daily job, also. And I'm a mathematician, so if we have to talk about metrics and measurable results, I'm not easily scared :-)
Regarding my experience in Wikimedia grants, I've been involved in both the requests made by Wikimedia Italy: the PEG for the Wikimedia Conference in 2013 and its first APG request (just now). Only two, because Wikimedia Italy for most of its life has managed (and had the luck) to get enough funds from other sources. This means that I've been exposed to various non-Wikimedia grants; among the ones I leaded, Crescere che avventura (2011-2013), from a private Italian foundation, to teach about Wikipedia in schools, and EAGLE, an ongoing three-million-euros three-years European grant where Wikimedia has a small (yes, we are not getting millions) but important role (by the way, this resulted in the first use of Wikibase outside Wikidata, and I'm quite proud of that). 2. Como é que a sua história com a Wikimedia torna-o apto para a FDC? I've been a wikimedian for 11 years (I might be the oldest wikipedian in this election...); I started editing the Italian Wikipedia in 2004, and I've been elected administrator in 2006. In the same year I joined Wikimedia Italia, and I've been in its board from 2011 to 2014; now I'm Coordinator for relations with institutions. In these years I've seen different parts of our movement, both the online editing, organizing programs, and managing the chapter. | |

Perguntas obrigatórias | 1. Quais de suas experiências você acha que melhorará o trabalho e o processo de recomendação do FDC?
Firstly, I believe I could help in the reporting / numbers side as I see here field for improvement. Being an economist and finances professional, I have been working in the field of risk and reporting for 8+ years and I know good and bad sides of this process more than enough. Secondly, benchmarks and problem solving: I am a data cruncher, with a MBA visit at UCLA and unfinished PhD (wikis and job won). Thirdly, understanding and communication: I am a dated Wikimedian, coming from a mid-size, CEE chapter, somewhat bridging experiences of East and West, big and small budget, emerged and yet-to-emerge countries. Moreover, my additional background are professional 5yrs studies in psychology, about to complete in a few months (mind you, education in Poland can be still free and I am using it). Finally and perhaps foremost, I am a wiki and a chapter person, serving on the board for ca. 3 years. I hope it all lets me to serve my partners, esp. Board and Affiliates, better.
Thanks to the education, trainings and profession, I feel able to work on grantmaking utilizing a proper framework or developing new tools. 2. Como é que a sua história com a Wikimedia torna-o apto para a FDC? Having acted in numerous roles: editor, sysop, arbcom, speaker, trainer, evangelist and evaluator, I have learned a lot upon initiatives of my home chapter and others. GAC, meetings with WMF Staff and fellow Wikimedians, research on quantitative data of chapters gave me further global perspective. I believe combining the lessons locally learned with proper standards of the Movement and merging it with my general background would let me bring many useful things to the table. Finally, for the time being my home chapter remains self-funded and uninvolved in the FDC process, separating me from potential conflicts of interest. | |
