It has been almost a year and since the workplan is not complete yet, I propose to kindly ask for an extension of another year. The initial MoU is valid one year but it was made clear since the beginning that the beneficiaries were not obliged to complete any task within that delay. There is a hard deadline in 2025 though and the extension is a one time thing.
As promised in 2022, I propose to take of informing NLnet that an extension is requested by sending the following mail. If there is no objection within two weeks, it will be sent:
Dear [redacted],
The implementation of the workplan was delayed and we kindly request an extension of one year to allow us to work to its completion.
The work done for moderation has been used in production for about six months (estimated a few hundred deployments and probably over 100,000 users) and is essential to enable federation. It is however much less that we would have liked to accomplish and the " State of the Forge Federation: 2023 edition" published in June 2023 further explain why our work was delayed.
We are determined to move forward in a better context and complete the workplan.
Thank you for your understanding
