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,
Hempal Shrestha

Hi Hempal,
Sorry, I'm still not sure if the question is directed at me or your
team?
Please note that I will be on vacation January 1-11th. If you would
like me to review and approve a reallocation request before then, please
post it on the discussion page of the grant. Otherwise, we can discuss it
when I am back.
Cheers,
Alex
