Hello everyone happy new year and a belated Wiki birthday to us all. So I chanced on this https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Conference_2018/Participants%27_Li... and realized Sadat is the one representing us at this year’s WMConn. Congrats to him I have no shred of doubt that he will fully represent us and I have no problem about his eligibility and competence. My problem however is mode of selection. Was it decided us a community or it was an individual’s decision because as far as I am concerned the mailing list is the official place for having such discussions and I have seen no such discussions here.

Again in previous years we have had consultatative talks and we have all known who was representing us so what changed this year?

Lastly as a Usergroup we were allocated two slots for participation. How come it is only one person.

I need some answers.

Regards
