Dear Gnangarra,
On your last email in this thread you mentioned that you will discuss
situation with corona virus CoVid-19, regarding upcoming Wikimania. I know
that nobody have enough information, but following all the news and
following recent developments, could you please update us about this issue
on this thread.
Thank you
Toni

Hi Ciell
ESEAP team and the WMF are meeting later this week with discussion on
this
very issue on the agenda. As it stands we have
been following the changes
and recommendations of many countries in relation to travel to Thailand
and
Bangkok. The WMF team is also following
developments, as you can
imagine
its a very dynamic situation. At this stage we
are continuing the
scholarship application process because there isnt the time frame
necessary
to delay while waiting for further developments
occur so we can more
assured of the necessary measures that will need to be taken.
For people who dont get scholarships, or are already planning to fund
their
own travel there for once waiting is becoming an
advantage as the cost of
travel is dropping and there will be incentives to encourage people to
travel. Anyone making bookings I recommend you obtain insurance that
covers you for all eventualities especially scenarios related to the
virus.
Community safety is at the absolute forefront of our plans and concerns.
Regards
