==Sharing learnings and best practices==

Because of their role as promoters and enablers of high impact activities, the FDC will become a center for thought leadership about what works to support the mission goals of the Wikimedia movement.  To share this wisdom, the FDC will publish an annual "report" providing reflections and learnings from the grantmaking work they do.  This may include:
*Promising practices and lessons learned in movement entities' programs and activities
*Trends in the progress, activities, and challenges of movement entities themselves
*Observations about where the movement is over- or under-investing to achieve the mission goals of the Wikimedia movement
*Recommendations for movement strategic priorities and goals

Not only will this annual report help movement entities enhance and refine their own plans to support the mission goals of the Wikimedia movement, but it will also be a critical input into the movement's broader strategic planning process.  

In addition to the annual report, FDC members will be encouraged to participate in the broader discussion about how to best achieve the mission goals of the Wikimedia movement in other ways as well, seeking to disseminate lessons widely through any means available (e.g., presenting at Wikimania, chapter meetings, and other movement conferences and events, maintaining a blog or other medium for sharing reflections electronically).
