We would like to learn more about it. It's embarrassing because we've been dependent on that from the international team.

We do have Romaine who have worked on the technical concept for the international contests for last 2 years. Romaine, would you be interested to facilitate the technical ends?? I'm sure you'll have more supporting head count this year.

I understand that the training is designed to transfer experience
from
veteran volunteers to newcomers. However, we also have a number of high-impact activities that may be included in the training.
- How to meet the deadlines/Consequences if deadline is not met This
is one of the biggest problem for WLM. 2. More prizes and more professional management This would make our competition more attractive. 3. Pilot WLM in Japan and Australia This two countries had tried to participate but gave up in the middle of the process. We should try
to
bring them back or let international volunteers help organize it as a pilot activity. Alternatively, put the rest of the world together as if it is one national and find a appropriate eligibility inclusion criteria e.g. photos can be used on a Wikipedia article.
