Funds Dissemination Committee/Complement to Standard Grant Approaches
Appearance
Context
[edit]On May 23 2012, Barry Newstead (WMF) joined a discussion initiated by TSB with Tango, Wittylama, Jan-Bart, SJ and Solstag, and agreed with the idea of a structure that could complement the work of the FDC and other standard grant approaches. Barry Newstead (WMF) shared he "would be supportive of considering a proposal for a pilot project using a portion of WMF's Grant budget, if there is a group that wants to structure it" and TSB offered to draft the pilot project aiming at:
- assessing "supply" of reviewers to collaborate and work in a decentralized way
- assessing "demand" from fund-seekers not served in the current option set
- addressing potential problems of "gaming" the system
