I really like the idea of a regional event in Assam soon as the community has started gaining momentum.

To VVIT Wikiconnect, I know you folks will organize a good event. Best wishes from my side.

To CIS, this is a really nice initiative to involve communities in organizing national events and building capacity but I would also like to reiterate what Ravi said on the event's talk page. To engage more communities in the future in such processes, it would be important to have an incentive, such as 2 extra participants, similar to local participation during Project Tiger consultation 2019. 

That aside, collaborating with different communities each time is a good practice.

Hello, 

First of all, on behalf of CIS-A2K, we would like to thank you for your interest in hosting the 2019 iteration of Train the Trainer (TTT). We feel that TTT is one of the major events A2K conducts. TTT has been conducted in 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. This year we wanted to further improve the program structure. One change we thought to make this year: was inviting community members/communities to host TTT. We believe this might help to organise TTT more collaboratively. This year we have started this process, in the next year or in the next iteration we strongly believe the process and event will be further improved.

We are delighted to see the two applications. Thanks to the Assamese community, and VVIT Wikiconnect. We thoroughly studied the two applications. We also talked to 2 external reviewersn(not CIS-A2K members) and requested their observation/opinion. It was a tough decision to select a city here. Based on the reviewers' suggestion, our own analysis this year we are doing in: Visakhapatnam.

On behalf of the CIS-A2K, I thank the Assamese community for your interest. What we feel at this moment it would be better if we conduct/support zonal/state-level workshop/wiki-event in Assam where (in comparison to an event like TTT) more and more Assamese Wikimeedian can participate. We'll work on such a skill-building workshop/event.

Thanks and Regards,

Dear Wikimedians,

Train-the-Trainer or TTT is a residential training program that attempts to groom leadership skills among the Indian Wikimedia community (including English) members. Earlier TTT has been conducted in 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. This year CIS-A2K is interested to collaborate with the community in hosting the event. Interested community members please check the following link: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K/Events/Train_the_Trainer_Program/2019/Bids

If you have any questions, please let us know.

Regards,
