4. How does your organization know what community members and contributors to online projects need or want? Does your organization conduct needs assessments or consult the contributors and volunteers most involved with its work?

Our elected board can take decisions about the annual plan and budget for the year. Guidance was given from the AGM in April 2018 by voting for a general direction for 2019.
To a large extent the projects funded by the APG are based on the successful initiatives from previous years that have received well by our volunteers and members. A few initiatives that have been questioned have been removed for the 2019 plan.
The external grants we receive, or hope to receive for 2019, are discussed with our elected board while they are being prepared.
We organized a membership meeting in October to present an overview of the plans and also to discuss how we better could include existing volunteers and engage new ones in the work done by the chapter. This meeting gave us very valuable inputs that have greatly affected the planing for 2019.

5. Please provide a link to your organization's strategic plan, and a link to your separate annual plans for the current and upcoming funding periods if you have them.

Verification and signature

Please enter "yes" or "no" for the verification below.

The term “political or legislative activities” includes any activities relating to political campaigns or candidates (including the contribution of funds and the publication of position statements relating to political campaigns or candidates); voter registration activities; meetings with or submissions and petitions to government executives, ministers, officers or agencies on political or policy issues; and any other activities seeking government intervention or policy implementation (like “lobbying”), whether directed toward the government or the community or public at large. General operating support through the FDC may not be used to cover political and legislative activities, although you may make a separate grant agreement with the WMF for these purposes.

I verify that no funds from the Wikimedia Foundation will be used for political or legislative activities except as permitted by a grant agreement	John Andersson (WMSE) (talk) 07:00, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
