# 2016

## 2016

In 2016, OuiShare's financial management went through a structural transformation, because the network now consists of 5 non-profits (France, Spain, Germany, Quebec, UK) of which OuiShare France, Spain and Quebec have growing budgets.

Therefore, in accordance with OuiShare's governance principle of [Autonomy of Communities and Projects](https://medium.com/ouishare-connecting-the-collaborative-economy/how-are-decisions-made-in-a-distributed-organization-7dfcdb0b73e3#.nxxphvkvx), OuiShare no longer has one unified financial management and budget planning. Each local OuiShare entity manages its finances independently and contributes to one collective funding pot to finance operations and infrastructure that all communities share, regardless of location. These activities can be described as the "**global OuiShare commons**", which primarily concern our work in producing and curating critical and cutting-edge content, as well as running basic operations of the OuiShare network.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://finances.ouishare.net/financials/2016.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
