Oops I assume it's apparent but let me correct myself

Hello all,
As I earlier stated on foundation-l, on an individual basis I
generally support the idea on this "competition" or "campaign"
behind,
on the other hand I agree with Siska on two points. First clearly she
mentioned on this thread there are pros and cons (organizing is always
a challenge and
that means not only that we are
living in countries whose culture, economic, law shortly the society
in general differ but also we have no common jurisdictional/financial
ground as Shengen zone or Euro zone. Organizing a pan-Asia event will
sure be a bigger challenge.
We may say we write and apply for WMF grant, but it means we need to
organize the event. Organizing a genuine online vote is itself a
challenge (I speak it as former member of Board Election caretakers),
even we may ask WMF for setting an online voting system which is
however not suitable for PotY type poll according to its designer, Tim
Starling,
The question if Indonesia lacks monuments which Siska claims, I'm not
sure what she means: in my view Indonesia is one of rich countries of
cultural heritages including static ones as Borobudur and Prambanan
and intangible ones as Wayang Kulit. In other words we have not to
stick the "Monument" concept in the early WLM competitions. I fully
understand of course WMID and Indonesian community have their own
priorities and it's fine if you Indonesians put the highest priority
to alluring text contributors at this moment: you know your own people
best among us all.
Cheers,

Hi guys,
The 2012 Wiki Loves Monuments competition will become global next year, and
I'd like to ask how many countries in Asia intend to participate in Wiki
Loves Monuments. During Wikimania last August, a pan-Asian Wiki Loves
Monuments-style contest was proposed as a common project of the Asian
communities, and with the global competition, I think we can focus our
efforts on the global competition instead. However, we can have something
like an "Asia's Best Picture" award or something like that.
Wikimedia Philippines had expressed interest in organizing a local Wiki
Loves Monuments competition next year during GLAMcamp Amsterdam, and I hope
other Asian chapters and communities will likewise be interested in doing
the same thing. Information on next year's competition may be found
