Hi,
Thanks for the initiative Hisham and Nitika!
Pleasure.
We need some following documents before submit the application
1. Apply on our own letterhead for participation
I am presuming the Chapter EC will take care of point 1? Let me know if you need any
help.
2. name & address
3. required space : stall (sq. mt) / table
4. space allotted in the last two years
5. photocopy of current trade licence & catalogue
In addition to the society registration, if you see merit, you can also share the
following documents with them
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Movement_Strategic_Plan_Summa…
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Annual_Report
6. latest issue of the journal
7. undertaking to abide by the rules and regulations
So we need help from WMF/Chapter for Point 1 and 5. They want photocopy of society
registration instead of current trade licence & catalogue .

I learnt that using eye-catchers is one of the successful ways to attract attention of the
attendees. Maybe we could use this idea too:
