Thanks

Hello Julia
I apology if I missed a step at some point.
In this application, I read that
"All the current grant committees (both active and inactive) will
cease to function with the implementation of the new grants
strategy of the Community Resources Team effective from 1 July
2021. We strongly encourage current and former committee members
to apply to be part of the regional committees."
So... is it to understand that absolutely ALL grants provided by
the Wikimedia Foundation will go through those yet uncreated
committees ?
Does that mean all current recipients of APG grants will have to
address their annual request to those yet unknown teams in the
future ? (september in some cases)
To whom will grants requests have to be addressed to for those
groups who are not related to a specific region ? Do they have to
pick up a region of their choice and consider themselves attached
to it, or will they be appointed a region by default ?
Sorry if the questions seem to be unrelated to your call but...
1) I am trying to understand and measure how much unstable our
current situation is as grantees so that we can anticipate...
2) I am trying to evaluate the responsibilities that will be on
the shoulders of those new regional committee members
Best
Florence

Dear all,
We hope this email finds you well and safe. The COVID 19
situation continues to affect many of us across the globe and our
thoughts are with everyone affected. We are also aware that there
are several processes currently in progress that demand volunteer
time and we do not want to add more work to anyone's plate.
We do want to draw your attention to our new Regional Committees
for Grants though as they are an opportunity for you to have an
active say in the future of our Movement!
📣 So today, we invite you to join our new Regional Committees
for Grants! 📣
We encourage Wikimedians and Free Knowledge advocates to be part
of the new Regional Committees that the WMF Community Resources
team is setting up as part of the grants strategy relaunch [1].
You will be a key strategic thought partner to help understand
the complexities of any region, provide knowledge and expertise
to applicants, to support successful movement activities, and
make funding decisions for grant applications in the region.
👉Find out more on meta [2].
Regional Committees will be established for the following regions:
* Middle East and Africa
* SAARC [3] region (Includes Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan,
India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka)
* East, Southeast Asia, and Pacific (ESEAP) region
* Latin America (LATAM) and The Caribbean
