Whereas, the Wikimedia Foundation maintains reserve funds that it can draw upon if needed in the event of sudden or unexpected cost increases or loss of revenue; and

Now, therefore, it is:

RESOLVED, that the Foundation shall target an amount of up to 18 months of expenses for its working capital reserve;

RESOLVED, that the working capital reserve ratio should not fall below a 12-month baseline;

RESOLVED, that the Audit Committee shall review the Foundation's working capital reserve ratio at least once per year; and

RESOLVED, that the Board shall review the reserve ratio and target at least once every three years.
