Sorotan Wikimedia Foundation
Pengembangan model penggalangan dana dan afiliasi
After the resolutions of the Wikimedia Board of Trustees at its meeting in Berlin, work is ongoing to implement a new model for distributing the money raised via Wikimedia project sites. Except the costs for the core operations and operating reserves of the WMF, all of it (including funds for chapters and non-core operations of the WMF) will be distributed based on the recommendations of the new volunteer-driven Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC). Another resolution of the Board recognizes new models of affiliation with the Wikimedia movement: "Movement Partners" (like-minded organizations that actively support the movement's work), "National or Sub-national Chapters" (which includes the existing chapter model), "Thematic Organizations" (non-profits representing the movement and using the Wikimedia trademarks, which are supporting work focused on a specific topic), and "User Groups" (open membership groups which may or may not choose to incorporate).
