Hi All,
Thanks for the confirmation Hemal ji. With respect to the re-allocation
of the grant budget for the aforementioned two initiatives and others ,
I strongly support the idea to have a face-to-face meeting before writing
up in meta page.
I would like to suggest coming Saturday afternoon for meet-up anywhere
in Kathmandu.
Best Regards,
Nabin Sapkota

Dear Alex and Team,
Thanks for clearing the confusion. So, now we can move ahead with
planning for the final re-allocation for the above two initiatives. Nabin
ji, Ganesh ji, can you please add the planned writeup in the re-allocation
meta page for review and approval by the WMF.
Also, is there any other important activities that might we can
conclude within the re-allocation budget? If so, please suggest.
Further, can we have a face-to-face meeting as well soon to final out
the details for completion of the re-allocation. I would request confirm
participation of At-least the Initiative lead and the working comittee team
members for this meeting. Please suggest, what time, date and venue will be
best suited for all.
With kind regards,
