However I disagree on delaying physical interaction, after Free Your
Knowledge Competition in 2010, WMID realize that it desperately need
someone (more people) who has the passion and the time to take care of
administration need of the chapter (WMID). Kartika and Ivonne steps in
after the request and we documented each and every coordination
meetings for 1,5 years totaling around 200 meetings. That is what it
takes for actively and aggressively pushing a regeneration of
volunteers. These meetings are not meet up, we call it coordination
meeting because it serves a certain purpose and each and every meeting
there are progress, decisions and result.
You may disagree or take on a completely different approach, it's your
prerogative of course. Once we've completed our planning, we will have
our schedule up, and actively contacting Japan, Korea, Kazakh, Iran,
and other Asian chapters (like Bangladesh, of course! We'll send you
our invitation with ribbon :D) - is it safe to say Philippines is not
interested? We're not planning a conference, completely the opposite
really, we are aiming in depth training - the goal is developing
chapters/ community via in depth individual/ small group coaching and
empowerment.
I won't lie to you, we don't have an ideal situation where we go:

projects first, planning, politics and worry about money and sex
scandals later. Most of the time the event runs concurrently, upside
down, and sometimes it's action first and planning later - I shite you
not, after several projects *I* realize that working with volunteers
need a liquid budget framework, which I'm experimenting right now.
I'm happy to to learn that Phillipines are thinking to do Pan Asia
Pasific road map, but our regional training center will not wait for
that nor need approval from other *Asian chapters*. The reason for
that is we're not aiming chapters exclusively, we're targeting driven
volunteers as individuals and/ or community.
Yours,
