Asaf, GAC isn't for Participation grants, I don't know why you throwing that in the people who disagree. And you said yourself you needed to consult with WMIN, they are telling a big NO, why you don't refuse the grant? _ *Béria Lima* *Imagine um mundo onde é dada a qualquer pessoa a possibilidade de ter livre acesso ao somatório de todo o conhecimento humano.

Yes, Béria, and I have acknowledged this not once but *twice* in the response that first mentioned the GAC. I was pointing out that the GAC is an opportunity to affect (other) grantmaking of the Foundation, and that we're accepting candidates right now. It seemed a good opportunity to recruit volunteers who evidently care about effective use of movement funds, wouldn't you say? I certainly did not imply, and I think no careful reader of my comment could have been led to believe, that the GAC is involved with the Participation Support program. Re consulting with WMIN, as I said on the talk page, it was an oversight, but the request is now approved, commitments have been made vis-a-vis the host, and we will not reverse the decision at this point. I have certainly been in the wrong here, and am taking steps to ensure it doesn't happen again (specifically, I've created a checklist to go through before future approvals, like the (more complex) checklist we have already had in place for Wikimedia Grants).

[Wikimediaindia-l] Do not donate to Wikipedia
Hey, Do not donate to Wikipedia because your money will go for insane grants like http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Participation:AbhiSuryawanshi/NASA_LARSS_program I plan to run this campaign across all Social media networks if I continue to see any such donation.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Do you donate to Wikipedia/ Wikimedia?

Still it is great news. The reporter would like to talk to individuals to understand why they donate to Wikimedia/ Wikipedia.
