I agree with Emna being sponsored too.  

The other part of the email is more concerned with time. 

We need to create a new waiting list which will contain names of people who are coming from Visa free countries with Nigeria regardless of gender whom we think are gonna add value into the conference. This mailing list can also include people who are in the original list who are active Wikipedians whom we think will gain or contribute positively to the conference. 


Kind regards, 
Bobby Shabangu

I support Emna being considered for the slot. Do you have anyone else in mind? 

I suppose they would have to come from Visa free country.

Dear Sirs,

Greetings,

Sequel to the under listed situations :

  • Notification of Chandapiwa Molete's withdrawal from participation at WikiIndaba 2019
  • Visa refusal of Mr Rossouw Van Rooyen by the Nigeria High Commission to Namibia ( We have confirmed the resolution of our embassy in Namibia not to issue this visa)
We, therefore, require to consider more people for the available slots.

Emna, the current Wikimedians of the Year stated her intention to attend the conference. She further told me that she regretted her inability to register for the scholarship during the window period for the scholarship application.

What do we think?
