<!--T:73-->
Please review key FDC documents, including the {{LL|<tvar|link1>Grants:APG/Funds Dissemination Committee/Framework for the Creation and Initial Operation of the FDC</>|FDC Framework}}, [<tvar|link2>http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Minutes/2013-04-18#Guidance_for_the_FDC Guidance</> for the FDC from the Board], and the FDC's funding recommendations: {{LL|<tvar|link3>Grants:APG/FDC portal/FDC recommendations</>|FDC recommendations}}.
