Hi Mina, It can always be appreciated when people engage in respectful conversations about complex issues, and I can imagine this can be uncomfortable. I would not consider myself an expert on this issue in any way, and I can't speak for the organizers. The possible encounters that you're

[Wikimania-l] Re: Selection criteria *(WAS: Planning your trip to Singapore for Wikimania 2023)

Generally a review of criteria seems like a fair idea - but I would recommend doing that after the conference (ideally after the evaluation results come back). That way, you have the benefit of knowing what people have been missing, and what skills /experience/quality we might have added to make

Re: [Wikimania-l] Wikimania 2019 Early Bird Registration is Now Open!

This is not a new or surprising discussion, and thanks for bringing it to the table. While $270 (conference + preconference) is a lot of money, you do get a 5-day conference with lunches, refreshments, reception and probably a dinner or two. That sounds like quite a modest price, compared to most
