Asaf, GAC isn't for Participation grants, I
don't know why you throwing
that in the people who disagree.
Yes, Béria, and I have acknowledged this not once but *twice* in the
response that first mentioned the GAC. I was pointing out that the GAC is
an opportunity to affect (other) grantmaking of the Foundation, and that
we're accepting candidates right now. It seemed a good opportunity to
recruit volunteers who evidently care about effective use of movement
funds, wouldn't you say?
I certainly did not imply, and I think no careful reader of my comment
could have been led to believe, that the GAC is involved with the
Participation Support program.
Re consulting with WMIN, as I said on the talk page, it was an oversight,
but the request is now approved, commitments have been made vis-a-vis the
host, and we will not reverse the decision at this point. I have certainly
been in the wrong here, and am taking steps to ensure it doesn't happen
again (specifically, I've created a checklist to go through before future
approvals, like the (more complex) checklist we have already had in place
for Wikimedia Grants).
Asaf
And you said yourself you needed to consult with WMIN,
they are telling a
big "NO", why you don't refuse the grant?

Hello, everyone.
I have responded on the grant talk page. Let's keep this conversation in
one place, there:

I hope I am wrong, but this doesnt look like it
fits within the
participation assistance scheme. Instead it looks like the assistance
is to cover travel to USA for an internship at NASA-related
organisation.
The grant request page is quite confusing.
