for South East Asia and Central Asia/Eastern Europe will be held
separately; given the size of communities, we needed to break down the
regions.
Please feel free to add your questions, comments, and expectations in the
Etherpad document shared above. You can also reach out to
sgupta(a)wikimedia.org and rayyakkannu(a)wikimedia.org for any clarification.
Please share this invitation in community social media channels to spread
the word.
Thanks,
Ravi

Following criteria were followed while making the selection:

2. Not more than two participants from a language community.
3. Application form
4. First time participants were given preference over Wikimedians who have
