Hi Sandister,
Could you as well explain the needed criteria? What is the least requirement as well.
Thanks!

Hello all, we received an additional invite to Berlin after the first one came (see forwarded email). It is geared towards a strategic session meant for people leading affairs in the user group.
The plan was to let the two people who bothered to volunteer to go. However the second person still doesn't meet this criteria.
Justice is one community leader who showed interested however he got the general slot. Georgina your elected leader didn't express interest. Rexford also said no.
A reminder came from Jaime again today that we need to send someone. I have sent my name.
Please moving forward, let's take keen interest in standing for elections and volunteering for the community, so when these opportunities come, we are spoilt for choice.
In the past years, Felix has represented us twice as community manager. If Justice and I go, next year new faces may need to go if they meet the criteria.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jaime Anstee janstee@wikimedia.org Date: Thu, Dec 22, 2016 at 10:06 PM Subject: Additional Invitation to Wikimedia Conference 2017 in Berlin To: nkansahrexford@gmail.com, sandistertei@gmail.com
Dear Wikimedia Community User Group Ghana,
In preparation for a movement strategy conversation in Berlin, we would like to extend one more invitation for a second representative to attend the Wikimedia Conference this March. This is in addition to the one representative that is already invited to attend the conference on behalf of your affiliate. This year’s conference has been built with 3 tracks; extending one additional invite will allow your group to designate one person for strategy and one for the customary learning tracks.
- 1 person - Strategy track
- 1 person - Capacity Building & Partnerships learning tracks
During the Strategy track, we will be discussing the future of the movement and the best ways to fulfil our vision: that every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. Importantly, the person you designate for the Strategy track should have demonstrated leadership and/or domain expertise important to your group’s efforts.
You should prioritize someone who...
- will represent your community and share back home what they learn
- has implemented one or more different types of programmatic or
engagement leadership in the last 12 months in your community
- has engaged in learning and/or evaluation practices in order to
learn and share about your group’s strategic activities and program work
- is working to develop and/or lead strategic efforts in your
community (e.g., communications, volunteer engagement, skills development for community engagement, community health, program design and evaluation).
If you have already registered a representative to join the main conference in Berlin and that person is your preferred representative for the Strategy track, no problem. You may choose a second person to attend one of the other conference tracks while your original representative attends Strategy.
To designate your representatives to the Strategy and a non-strategy track, reply to this message and share the names of
- the person you wish to represent your group in the Strategy track
- the person you wish to participate in Capacity Building &
Partnerships learning tracks
Please respond to this message to let us know about your additional representative’s name and email address as well as the track designation for your representatives as soon as you are able. There will be a new registration period for the additional person to register, which will be open January 9 through January 30, 2017. We will keep track of your decision and share the invitation to register to the additional affiliate representative.
Please take the time to consult with each other to determine who is best to represent your group. Once we hear back, we will proceed with messaging to share a registration link for your additional representative so that they may register before the deadline.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Jaime
