Hi Ciell
ESEAP team and the WMF are meeting later this week with discussion on this
very issue on the agenda. As it stands we have been following the changes
and recommendations of many countries in relation to travel to Thailand and
Bangkok. The WMF team is also following developments, as you can imagine
its a very dynamic situation. At this stage we are continuing the
scholarship application process because there isnt the time frame necessary
to delay while waiting for further developments occur so we can more
assured of the necessary measures that will need to be taken.
For people who dont get scholarships, or are already planning to fund their
own travel there for once waiting is becoming an advantage as the cost of
travel is dropping and there will be incentives to encourage people to
travel. Anyone making bookings I recommend you obtain insurance that
covers you for all eventualities especially scenarios related to the virus.
Community safety is at the absolute forefront of our plans and concerns.
Regards

Hi Gnangarra,
With the Corona virus spreading rapidly around the world: can you tell me
(us) something about the scenario for Wikimania when the virus would
still
be heavily active in August?
People might want to wait a bit longer before applying, or maybe want to
know more about cancelling their travels after they have confirmed the
scholarship. Will this be possible?
Vriendelijke groet,
Ciell
