*************
A few things to note though...
1. This year, per request from WMF, only 13 countries will be allowed to
request funding to participate with local events. That list covers any
country which has already participated to WLAf at least once.
Moreover, amongst those 13 countries, some will be covered by the WLAf
Project Grant in the same way than in 2014-2015-2016, whilst some will
have to request a Rapid Grant to WMF.
This is the list of countries who should ask a Rapid Grant if they want
to join in

**O*f course, we would support those asking for the rapid grant as
needed. The main benefit is... that local budget can potentially
increase given that max budget for a Rapid Grant is 2000 dollars.

***We will reach out to all groups individually anyway to discuss this.
