1 Many Wikimedians want to keep their userid and real name separate - even when attending events.
2 The way to encourage applicants to be open about this is not to then criticise those who get scholarships. Instead make sure we have the right people on a scholarship committee.
There are many checks and balances and sometimes needs to protect individuals. That is an important factor in getting the appropriate level of transparency.

Fae, this is a standard defence that you run often.
Let me say that you do not do yourself any favours when you make a statement accusing the chapter of some outrageous or corrupt act, and then deny responsibility for the intent of your posting by pointing out that you had phrased it in the conditional. Carefully drafting an allegation in the conditional is not a get out of jail free card that allows you to disclaim all responsibility for the meaning you intended to convey in the first place.

"would be" - i.e. hypothetical scenario.
Not everything I write needs to be read as an accusation of a crime, no.

Fae,
I'll assume you didn't mean that to sound like an allegation of
corruption,
but regardless, it's not really helpful. The idea of a discussion is
that
you let the other person answer before making a point that's already
been
made.

How bizarre, this is the opposite of transparency and would be an especially difficult thing to justify if it later came out that relatives, friends, people with no previous connection to Wikimedia projects were getting large sums of money with no public declarations.

It is not standard practice for a list of attendees to Wikimedia conferences to be published. It is up to the individuals in question whether they

it be known publicly that they are attending or have attended a

Wikimedia conference. That any particular individual attendance are
funded
by Wikimedia UK or for that matter the Wikimedia Foundation rather than privately does not affect that.
Like other Wikimedia conferences, there is an unofficial list on the conference pages where participates are able to publicly indicate their planned attendance. In addition, all scholarship recipients agrees to produce a public report afterwards summarising the key things they have taken from the event.

There were two valid applications, which we are both funding.
Where is the list going to be published?
