Talk:Wiki World Heritage User Group/WWH Staffing Plan 2021

Dear Wiki World Heritage,

Thank you again for submitting your first sAPG application. We’d like to welcome you to the sAPG program and wish you good luck with your planned activities. I’ve completed the initial review of the grant proposal and have some questions for you to respond to:

• Since this is your first Wikimedia Foundation grant, we would like to understand your experience and capacity to manage funds better. Do you or any User Group leader have any experience in funds/financial management? What are the financial/reporting practices you will inherit to ensure the transparent usage of funds?
• How do you see your annual plan aligning with Movement Strategy recommendations?
• How did you engage your community in the development of the Annual Plan and grant proposal?
• How will you engage volunteers who are part of your community in the implementation of the proposed projects?
• What is the current governance structure; what processes are in place to ensure healthy governance of the user group?
• Seeing that you have a proposed staff role [ WHindanger Project coordinator], who do they report to and what processes or steps have you put in place to support their success in the role?
• Lastly, we realize that the costs associated with prizes are high, based on the average prize costs we have seen with affiliates in multiple regions. Would you share in detail why this might be the case?

Thanks again for putting together this grant application. I’ll look forward to your responses to move forward with the review process. Best regards, --VThamaini (WMF) (talk) 19:34, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
