Hello,
The Wikimedia Technical Conference Program Committee wanted to send a clarifying note regarding the nomination process.
Initially we said that relevant budget owners will be invited directly by us and thus *do not need to be explicitly nominated*. This is still half true.
We will be directly inviting many budget owners BUT please do nominate those budget owners that you believe should be in attendance (including yourself, if applicable). Do this even if you believe we will already select them. There's no harm in nominating someone.
I have updated the FAQ accordingly[0].
Please post any questions on the talk page[1].
Thanks,
Greg
