Dear Nabin Ji, Thanks for the suggestions. This is good proposal but I don't know whether we can use the amount for the past events. As to my knowledge we can't spend grant for past events. We have to make request prior to conduct any event. Let's ask to the grant team. Dear Alex, Can you suggest in this regard please?

Hi All, Yes, you can ask to reallocate the remaining grant funds for prizes and the award events, since they have not happened yet. Please let me know if you'd like to move forward with this idea. If yes, you can follow the directions here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Remaining_funds#Request_to_use_PEG_f… Cheers, Alex On Sat, Dec 27, 2014 at 8:34 PM, Saroj Dhakal &lt;lotusnagarkot(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: -- Alex Wang Program Officer Project & Event Grants Wikimedia Foundation <http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Home> +1 415-839-6885 Skype: alexvwang

Dear Ganesh ji, Nabin ji, Alex, Thanks for your both suggestion for possible re-allocation of the remaining funds from our last program on Wikipedia Expansion Program in Nepal. 1. Ganesh ji, Outreach activities to the other cities (outside of Kathmandu Valley) would be a good initiative. But for that we will need to have commitment of atleast 3-4 Nepali Wikipedians in advance for the Wiki Travel outside Kathmandu valley for the entire duration. Do we have tentative lead and team members who will be ready to travel to other cities for the Wiki-Travel? 2. Nabin ji, Awarding the Winners for WLE 2014 and WLM 2014 is indeed a good practice to continue with. As you remember the last year's WLM was coordinated by Saroj ji and Mahalaxam ji and the winners of WLM 2013 were also rewarded (Source: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013_in_Nep…) as per the budgeted reward amount incorporated in the expansion project in advance. The current situation of both the WLE 2014 and WLM 2014 competition are completed and closed. The submission of photos by the users is over for both the competition in their due time. Selection and declaration of the top 10 winning contributors for both WLE 2014 and WLM 2014 has also been made. Now, we are in the process of felicitating the winners of both the competition. And hence we are looking forward for possible re-allocation of the remaining funds for rewarding these winners. Here, I have a little confusion about any constraints in the process (if any) regarding budgeting for the fund for rewarding the winners who are already selected and declared. Hence, I would seek more clarity and suggestion from Alex and fellow Wikipedians. Once we have more clarity on this constraints, we can confidently move ahead with rewarding the winners of WLE 2014 and WLM 2014 as we concluded for WLM 2013 winners. Nabin ji, I have followed following links to verify above information, please correct me if there are some more information to add to it.

Dear Nabin Ji Great, so we have Nirmal and you as well. I will be there. Might be bit late now as I am on a bicycle today. Where is the Sangam Cafe ? Regards Hempal Shrestha Hempal Shrestha On Jan 17, 2015 12:54 PM, "Nabin Sapkota" &lt;nboycreationnepal(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote:

Dear Friends, It was good to meet Nirmal, Nabin and Saroj on last Saturday at the Sangam Cafe in New Baneswhor. The meeting took more than we expected (around 3 hours) with a intense discussion. Unfortunately we could not come online there, so apologies to Krish and Mahalaxmi, who might be waiting for us to come online and work together in the meta page. We, however were having more focused discussion about the proposed re-allocation from the WLM and WLE rewarding program. Here are my notes from the meeting in numbered order as per the topic. If other meeting participants have any new action item that I might have missed, could you kindly edit/add the same here. Also if I have mis-represented or mis-appropriate any information here, please correct me as well. Thanks for the correction in advance! *ACTION ITEM 1*. As one of the decisions from our small (4 team members), Nabin and Saroj will share the proposed plan and budget they had prepared for re-allocation for WLM 2014 and WLE 2014 awarding ceremony with the community at-large through this mailing list. Once we receive a go-ahead signal, we will update the same information in the grant-re-allocation wiki meta page for final approval from the WMF. We are expecting it to accomplish this by the end of this weekend. *ACTION ITEM 2*. Regarding the other topic that was raised for re-allocation in my previous email and I Quote Ganesh's email on Wed, Dec 24, 2014 at 9:43 AM "To my mind, we can have couple of outreach and outreach enabling meetings in some cities out the valley. I suggest to spend the unspent money in outreach activities." could not be discussed further in this meeting. I hope, Ganesh will be able to share about this proposal in detail in the mailing list or next face-to-face meeting and meta-page for requesting re-allocation. Ganesh could you please take up this action item as we also need to get a approval from WMF to take up this activity if we intend to get support for the Wiki outreach activity out of Ktm valley. *ACTION ITEM 3*. There was a third idea as well, which came up as update sharing from Ram Joshi and Ramesh Bhora's Kathmandu visit and some of us meeting with them face to face (please follow anther email thread for that call for meeting) in Jawalakhel on December 31, 2014. In that talk, Ram Joshi and Ramesh Bohara have volunteer to work for a small information sheet / brochure which will focus on enabling/teaching/guiding the mobile users as how they can add/edit/view the Nepali Wikipedia content from feature/smart mobile phone. Since NCell is currently supporting the Zero Wikipedia along with Free (free as in beer) Wikipedia access in Nepal, it could be a great guide for new /prospective Wikipedians in Nepal. Also if we can highlight some collaboration possibilities, I see a greater potential to reach out to a larger audience, who are primary accessing Internet via Mobile only. Nepal is a great user potential for this category of users. -> Hence, I would like to propose this as one anther work that we can seek the re-allocation from the grant given to us by the WMF via this email itself. Here it would be great, if we could initiate a vibrant discussion among the community members of Wikimedians of Nepal. If there are better proposal than the above three, please shoot now (pour in your ideas). Even, if there is some objection to these or any of these ideas, please raise it with the community public mailing list. I hope this open and transparent communication will help us to accomplish the mission and objective of the grant that was made by the WMF to Wikimedians of Nepal.

Dear All, Can we make the necessary edits in the meta page for reallocation. I am of opinion that we should be adding the new re-allocation request in the page ( https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants_talk:PEG/User:Ganesh_Paudel_-_Wikipe…). Alex, please do suggest. So shall we now make the updates in the meta-wiki for the reallocation. Here is the proposer we have for the action: 1. Nabin ji, Biplab ji, can you please add /edit the proposal for re-allocation in the above mentioned meta wiki page. 2. Ganesh ji, can add/edit the meta page for the Wiki-Yatra (outreach) activities. 3. Ram ji, Ramesh ji, can you please add/edit the grant re-allocation meta page for the Wiki-mobile edits information sheet for the Nepali user. Further if anyone still have some ideas to implement please post it soon so that we can accomplish this work sooner.

Hi Alex, Thanks for your quick respond. With respect to your queries as follow: 1. Since this is a request and report in one, can you please send me the documentation of expenses (scanned receipts)? The report we presented here <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants_talk:PEG/User:Ganesh_Paudel_-_Wikipedia_Expansion_Program_in_Nepal/Report#Reallocation_Request_for_WLE-14_and_WLM-14_rewards> is of already conducted event. The whole amount of money to conduct the event have been contributed by our team members*(named: Nirmal Dulal, Saroj Dhakal, Sangam Gurung, Krish Dulal, Nabin Sapkota and Biplab Anand)*. So, it's a zero cost event for WMF. And the request we presented is a estimation of the reward ceremony for the winners of WLE-2014 and WLM-2014 which is totally unspent amount. Be sure we'll send you the documentation of expenses (scanned receipts) once we're done. Thanks, Nabin On 6 February 2015 at 10:57, Alex Wang &lt;awang(a)wikimedia.org&gt; wrote:

Hi Alex, Thanks for your confirmation on reallocation of the remaining grant amount for the proposal I prepared. I as a coordinator of WLE-2014 and a organizing committee member of WLM-2014 I presented the aforementioned grant proposal to reward the winners of WLE and WLM after discussion with the community. I want to leave it to our team members to present their proposal , if any, so that it can be easier to reallocate the remaining grant amount at the earliest. Looking forward to be able to closing this off soon. Best regards, Nabin On Feb 11, 2015 9:03 AM, "Alex Wang" &lt;awang(a)wikimedia.org&gt; wrote:
