[foundation-board] Omidyar funding approved

[Pavel Richter]

Dear Board,

it is my pleasure to let you know that the Omidyar Network has approved our
grant request for 1.5 Million USD of unrestricted funding over two years!

As part of this, they are suggesting to replace Martin Tisne with Andrew
Clark as Board observer. Andrew has been very close to Open Knowledge over
the last months, and he and I worked very closely together over the whole
grant application process.

Please note that all of this information is embargoed for now, until the
grant letter has been signed and we have coordinated with Omidyar about
press releases.

Kind regards

Pavel Richter
CEO
