Hello, Good initiative. I'd like to share a couple of India-related stories I can think of and will get back with that (or I'll email you in person, if that works, kindly let me know). Thanks for planning this.
A side-comment: It does not look good if links, specially the privacy policy link which states "your privacy is important to us " is itself masked by YAMM (yet another mail merge), that's a third party. I used the MMS tool a few times a long time ago, did not like it. They track too many things like email clicked, email opened etc. I was also not aware that Qualtrics records IP addresses.

Hi Chris, this is a great initiative and I would love to nominate at least 2 projects to spread their energy and motivation as well as to acknowledge their work. However, as a European with some attentiveness for data reduction and data economy I wonder why you have to retain contact information from me and the nominees unless we ask you to delete them. I got a first rejection from a potential project just because of this kind of data collecting. That’s sad and I believe we as a community could do better.
Alice.

Hello Wikimedians around the world
In these difficult times many of us miss the chance to connect in person with other Wikimedians. We miss the events and meetings where we could learn from and about each other. So we thought to use this time to learn from each other more about the great people that make up our communities. We would like to give some of them a bit of a spotlight in our virtual spaces like our blogs and social media in the absence of physical connection points.
Do you know a community member who has accomplished something new or inspiring in the last year? Someone who you think the rest of the
community
should know about? If so, please take a few minutes and nominate them in the survey below.
Let us know about their inspiring work, whatever form it took, online or offline. This can include but is not limited to adding important content directly to one of our projects, encouraging and supporting others in adding content, teaching the public about Wikipedia or other Wikimedia projects, building partnerships, or organizing events and helping your local community thrive. We are also curious to learn about the different ways people enrich our movement!
Use the following link to take the survey.

Thank you in advance for helping us highlight more wonderful people and accomplishments from all over the world!
Your privacy is important to us and is governed by the linked privacy statement. In this survey, we will request your contact information and that of the individual you are nominating. Please be sure that the person you are nominating understands you are providing us with their
information.
We will use this information to get in touch with nominees, should they meet our selection criteria. We will retain this contact information indefinitely unless you or the person you nominate request its deletion
or
update it in a subsequent survey; please see the privacy statement <
