@Sandister,
This is not difficult to understand. You put up something on the mailing list and people decide to reach you personally. Is that the new trend now? Did you specify they should reach you by DM?
I believe you put stuff here for transparency process. Last year when the same emails were sent out we still delibrated here before finally we decided to organize it by consensus.
I am not really bothered as to who leads it at the end of the day once WLM is successfully organized in Ghana that is the most important thing.
This issue of people contacting you directly doesn't augur well for a group. because it looks like one man show.Rex asked the people who have expressed interest to do own up here and we are still waiting.

I sent an invite to the mailing list and Whatsapp group. 

Unfortunately, I am not on the Whatsapp group for the past few days, so I am not aware if anyone has put their name up there. 

However some people have also contacted me directly. 

So what I intend to do is, I will catch up on the Whatsapp group and what has been discussed so far. If people have expressed interest there too, I will simply add them on the list so EVERYONE who wanted to participate whether they expressed their interest via DM, Whatsapp, mailing list, wherever, can ALL decide how they can work forward together. 

Which one of this is too hard for you all to understand?

Doris you can ask them when I put the names up. I am not their spokesperson. 
 
"When I put the names up", meaning you do have the names, or?

If so, anywhere we may know those who've put up their names so far?

@all If you showed interest but haven't responded to the call on the mailing list, but have done on other platforms, perhaps you can update us here on the mailing list too.

Can you share the names of members who expressed interest in leading?

How come they didn't respond to this thread directly?
 
Or was there a form for the application process?

This thing had been in the mailing list for a while, perhaps you should have started the conversation and naturally proceeded to lead.

Because unfortunately, some people have come forward already, some of which were involved in the 2016 one you held. And to ensure continuity, what I can do is to put them (the names I have) in a group, point them to your project report and you are free to advise them on what to do.

You can all work together somehow.

Hello Sandister,
Felix myself and some members from Wikimedia Usergroup Ghana and some volunteers from OFWA organized it last year. As it stood we had some few more places to cover based on the plans for  last year.
Judging from from the experience last year , we learnt a lot and I believe that will best  places me to lead it this year since it will be a continuation of what we started last year.

Regards

Hello all, we received a message from the Wiki Loves Monuments team via the mailing list some time back.

I think we need to assign local organisation to someone to lead. Anyone here who has desired to lead a Wikimedia project but has never done so before?

Let me know. You don't need any experience, just enthusiasm and time.

What you will do is just follow up on the dates, lead discussions on what we can bring to the project this year, draw up a grant (I will help you), lead publicity etc.
