Facilitation
ファシリテーション
グループ活動が円滑に行われるように、中立的な立場から支援を行うこと。またはそのための技術のこと。協働促進と訳する向きもある。facilitationという語は、（物事を）容易にする、円滑にする、促進することを意味する。
一般にファシリテーション・スキルは会議のための技法ととらえられることが多く、狭義には「ミーティングが円滑に運営されるように働きかけること」とされる。また、「ビジネス・ファシリテーション」「プロジェクト・ファシリテーション」といった用法もあり、この場合は「組織やチームが目標を達成するために、創造や変革、問題解決、合意形成、学習などを体系的に支援し、プロセスを促進させること」となる。

FDIC
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), an independent U.S. federal executive agency designed to promote public confidence in banks and to provide insurance coverage for bank deposits up to $100,000. The corporation was established in 1933 to prevent a repetition of the losses incurred during the Great Depression when bankrupt banks could not return the money deposited in them. It is managed by a five-member board of directors, appointed by the president with the consent of the U.S. Senate. The FDIC provides coverage for deposits in national banks, in state banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System , and in other qualified state banks. ( Mutual funds and other securities are not covered.) It may also make loans to insured banks in the interest of protecting the depositors. The corporation derives its income from assessments on insured banks and interest on government securities. Since 1989 the FDIC has supervised the Savings Association Insurance Fund, the agency that was created to provide coverage for savings and loan associations when the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation became insolvent. A sharp increase in bank failures in the late 1980s and early 1990s led to the insolvency (1991-92) of the FDIC as well, forcing it to seek government loans. The fund recovered by the mid-1990s.

Free Software
The Free Software Foundation
Free software is a matter of liberty not price. You should think of "free" as in "free speech".
The Free Software Foundation (FSF), established in 1985, is dedicated to promoting computer users' rights to use, study, copy, modify, and redistribute computer programs. The FSF promotes the development and use of free software, particularly the GNU operating system, used widely in its GNU/Linux variant. The FSF also helps to spread awareness of the ethical and political issues surrounding freedom in the use of software. You can read more about free software in our essays section, in the philosophy section of gnu.org, and in the pages of the independently published Free Software Magazine.
