- from the ED open letter on grantmaking :
- WMF and affiliates / hubs commit to work together to forecast budgets for all affiliates for the next 3 years.

- Offer multi-year grants to affiliates with staff / space costs.
- Commit to providing more advance notice for changes in funding programs
- resolving other conflict with WMF:
- Mediate banner-fundraising discussion: support capacity-building for fundraising competency, direct donor relations
- technical rollouts and resolution:

- Mediate and provide better resolution for the open loop around Graphs.
- Mediate and provide clearer plans for Wikidata scaling and migration.
