Hey Itzik,
I've consulted with WMKE's Board and I will assume an interim position of
the Chapter's representative to WCA until we elect a new representative. I
will sync up with Abbas and get back to you as soon as possible.
Abbas, thanks for the forward
regards,
Alex

Hi Itzik,
I am really sorry for the frustration -- too bad the process has been
dragging more than expected.
Unfortunately, I am no longer with Wikimedia Kenya. I have cc-ed the WMKE
mailing list and hopefully, someone from the Chapter can give you an
official response.
Thanks,
Abbas.

Subject: Calling for WCA meeting
To: abbasjnr(a)hotmail.com
Hi Abbas,
As you can see on the chapters mailing list, since our last meeting during
Wikimania, there wasn't even one email on the list about what going on next
with the WCA.
According to each committee schedule, before 23 days, on July 31, the
members should have see the outcomes, and vote on that on a week from now -
on Aug 31.

It didn't happen. none of it.
Until now the committee, the SG and the DSG didn't even update about our
next steps, for over a month.
We talking too much about this associations, for too long. Many of the
chapters will need to select if to include supporting of the WCA in their
budget that they going to send in the next few days to the FDC for approval
and nothing had been talk about that yet. How can we have a WCA running
next year if none of the chapters will allocated money to support him? how
they will allocated money without budget or wide aggrement about the amount
of the money?
According to the charter, by the request of fifth of the members (mean 6
members), we can call to online meeting of the council. I'm asking if your
chapter will supprt having such online meeting ASAP to get status and
decide what next.
Thanks,
Itzik, WMIL
