Hi Bodhi,
Thanks for sharing the updates, and the program has interesting sessions.
I just feel that the eligibility threshold for instant registration is too
high - *5,000 global edits is too high for instant registration*. I believe
it can be lowered, especially since it is an online event, and won't add
too much to the costs. My reasoning is last minute registration may
generally be by people who are not very involved, and may not know about
the event. People from other movement-aligned groups such as Creative
Commons, Mozilla or even GLAM institutions might want to attend, expecting
them to have a lot of edits might not be reasonable. A lot of newcomers may
also get excluded with this.
Please see if this can be reconsidered.
Best,
KC.

Hello all,
Wikimedia Wikimeet India 2021 is going to start the day after tomorrow and
we have some updates for you.
- The event will have the opening speech from *Asaf Bartov*, the title
being "*India: Looking back, looking ahead*". Asaf has been observing
and supporting Wikimedia efforts in India since 2009, first as a volunteer,
and later as a Wikimedia Foundation grants program officer and capacity
builder. In this talk, he will offer some thoughts on the Indian Wikimedia
journey so far, and on the road that still lies ahead, from his
perspective. Please find the entire program schedule here -

- We closed the registration of participation yesterday. However, for
the *experienced WIkimedians*, who have missed that deadline due to
whatsoever reason, we have kept the option for *instant registration*
at the last minute. For more details, please check here -
