Hi Kaew.
Yes, ofcos a national organiser be part of the international. I also agree that we need more members, but I also believe too many cooks will spoil the food. The reach decisions much quicker, I think we need to limit the number of members we can include in.
However. in the international team, we can have one member per region; maybe 1 from North Am, One from South Am, One/two from Europe , One from Middle East, One from South Asia and so on. In my experience, that helps because there the representative gets closer to the organising team of those countries.
Completely agreed, we should share resources with WLE and WLPA. It will benefit all.

A few thoughts regarding the international team:
- Can a national organizer be part of the international team? Years
ago we don't like this because of possible conflict of interest. But what we learned from WLM2014 is that we need more people and we want them to act faster. Can all participating countries send [at least?] one representative to help with the international team? If there are too many people, the tasks can be delegated to a group or an individual.
- Can we share the resource/expertise with WLE as much as possible?
In other words, the team itself and the submission/processing/judging mechanism may be common for both contests. If the committee/process are common, you can add the third/4th/... topic and go beyond the saturation stage of S-curve. This may address many of us who believe that WLM for Europe is in contraction phase.
- This is about the right time to discuss about international team if
we want a fruitful contest in 2015. I believe that there is a significant potential for growth for people to take photo from October-August. Uploading existing photos is one thing but taking it purposefully for this competition is another. The earlier we have the team the better we can work on our PR campaign.

In that case if anyone wants to help the international team, it's a good idea to start now :) we still have things to do this year, and the person could get some understanding for next year (assuming they hadn't
previously
been part of the team).

Hi Yan,
Actually, the grant for next year should already be drafted by now :) I don't want to hurry people too much, but I'm afraid it would be unwise
to
wait with finding the team for next year...
Best,
Lodewijk

Can we wait for this year's competition to end before agreeing on next year's team? There are actually still quite a few things to do,
including
regarding the grant.

Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2014 00:17:10 +0530 From: karthikndr@wikimedia.in To: wikilovesmonuments@lists.wikimedia.org Subject: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Call for Volunteers - WLM
International
Team
Dear all,
We shall need a good international team to have another successful version of Wiki Loves Monuments after 2014. The team should comprise
of
experience volunteers who have conducted WLM or any such event in
their
country.
There are numerous tasks and first task will be to hunt and find our countries who shall be willing to organise Wiki Loves Monuments
again. To
brief, the International Team is more of coordinating with all
participating
countries and without proper coordination, there will be no
international
competition for WLM 2015.
Been in the international team is also more of applying for grant, documenting, following up and keeping track of status of all
participating
countries. Time to be spent may vary according to the skill of team
members;
more the skills and people, lesser the burden; however you can assume
10
hours a week during the contest (just horrifying).
Would you be interested to be part of international team for WLM 2015, please send me a brief introduction of yourself and also a note on
how you
would benefit the international team. Please send the same by 6th of
Jan.
Regards from Mumbai, Karthik Nadar.
