- Program Evaluation - should be an online committee that organises

No change needed.

volunteers - should be kind of a secretariat for the Scholarship Evaluation committee
It sort of work like this right now. But I think WMF should take up more and follow-up on scholarship program. Visa should be a local thing.
Simon: I thought it went pretty smoothly this year, and agree about WMF taking up more of the followup. I want to get your and Jessie's feedback on how we can improve things for next year.

No change needed. It is independent from WMF.
Scholarship committee should be just reviewing applicants. Following up the scholarship program should be handled by WMF (like a chapter).

- Technics - a global team of people which organise online but also need
to work locally a week prior the event ** I'd volunteer for that as I also wrote most of the technical specs on the Wikimania Team wiki
Would it be possible that WMF helps local team to host Wikimania registration/scholarship system?
Yes.
