 That is definitely a good idea, but not now in place of a national
 level conference pertaining to and focussing primarily on our country.

 The foci of a national conference and an international conference are
 completely different. So, that conference definitely needs to be arranged
 but not here, not now.

 A second reason is that due to the geopolitics being such, there have
 been cases of candidates being invited to participate in the conferences in
 India and visas not being granted. There seems to be no way around this at
 present.

 Thirdly, Indian issues, by virtue of our numbers of communities, size
 and complexities, would totally drown out the regional combined interests
 and the individual interests of foreign communities. So, the SAARC
 Conference should have Indian representation but as a participant
 proportionally the same as each other SAARC country, not dominating vide
 our size, sophistication and reach.

 For that and other reasons, it may be appropriate for SAARC
 WikiConference to be held in another country or if it is to be held in
 India, then a year or two down the line after WikiConference India.

 Of course, Wikimedian representatives of SAARC communities are welcome
 to attend our proposed national conference as usual.

 Let that SAARC Conference be planned and worked on by Abhinav for
 subsequent implementation, since he has mooted this on behalf of Chapter.

 However, that idea needs to be sounded out first on the international
 list to give notice to the communities of those countries.

Hello everyone,

We have a few updates regarding the WikiConference India 2020 proposal for
Hyderabad. Firstly, we are happy to share the news that there has been a
very good positive response from individual Wikimedians
[1].
Also there have community-wide discussions on local Village Pumps on
various languages. Several of these discussions have reached consensus
[2],
and are supporting this idea.

We will be engaging with more communities this week, and clear any
concerns/doubts people may have during this week. Also to wrap up these
discussions and conclude, we would like to call for IRC.

Details of IRC:

Timings and Date: 6:00 pm on 20 August 2019

Looking forward for all your active participation. Hope you all have a
great week ahead.
