Dear Tito, Pavan and A2K Team, 

Happy to find that the community has started initiating their bids and maybe by the day's end there could be some more.  Irrespective of whichever community gets to host the event, the entire process of promoting community-led initiatives needs to applauded. There is no shadow of the doubt that this would promote off-wiki leadership within different communities. 

A2K Team could also perhaps initiate 

1.) Taking help of some senior and experienced community members in the jury process to make it more transparent and neutral. 

2.) Inviting external resource persons via Call for Papers where the community members can submit an abstract for their presentations and the participants along with the larger community can reflect. Similarly, the A2K team members could also put up a brief for their sessions and the community can reflect, advise and suggest for the needful. 

Again, I would like to re-iterate, this is a wonderful initiate undertaken.  

My two cents.

Hi Tito,

I said 1-3 March because the event page said that the training should happen in end February or early March. I really want to attend this training and this is the only weekend in March that's free for me. Else, April is also good for me. 

I'm also asking other Delhi members and then we may submit a proposal after consultation.

Best,

Japleen

Hello Japleen,

1-3 March might be too early for the entire procedure that includes village pump discussion, logistics etc.

Thanks for your interest. You may also discuss here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K/Events/Train_the_Trainer_Program/2019/Bids#CityName_Community

Hi Pavan,

I am interested to co-host it in Delhi on the first weekend of March from 1-3 March (Friday-Sunday), if other members from Delhi are also interested in co-hosting. 

Delhi members, what do you say?

Best,

Japleen
