Bizarre bug. I guess this is karmic punishment for fixing the other ones earlier this month! jp×g 16:08, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

No questions about Tides? That's... a bit disappointing. That's been one of the more opaque parts there, and it would be good to see some light shed on that. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 21:36, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

I was trying to cover that with the question about the endowment, but if there was anything I missed might be worth putting a question here in the discussion and pinging Lisa and/or Julia? WMF certainly seem to be in dialogue mode at the moment... The Land (talk) 08:29, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

• @The Land: simple request - can you give me a link re: "do you expect fundraising to be decentralised, in line with the Movement Strategy recommendations?" There must be too many layers for me to navigate thru the movement strategy. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 03:51, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

So there's an overall principle of "Our Movement will make decisions at the most immediate or local level wherever possible" which suggests that many things the WMF does ought to be decentralised. It's not specified anywhere that fundraising (as opposed to, say, making grants or recognising affiliates or indeed anything specific) but the idea of WMF continuing to raise 95% or whatever of movement funds seems fairly inconsistent.
