Product: Wikimedia

The local community is conducting 2 day outreach event at Indian Institute of
Technology, Delhi on March 3rd and 5th 2012.
This will include an intro Wikipedia, an editing workshop and hands-on basic
editing. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Workshop/Delhi_Workshop_1)
We expect 40-50 people to attend. We would like to encourage potential newbie
participants to create their own usernames during the session themseleves, and
then learn editing using their own accounts.
Is there a way of removing the 7 username creation limit in a 24 hour period
for the following 5 IP addresses:
180.149.52.41,
180.149.52.42,
180.149.52.43,
180.149.52.44,
180.149.52.45
for the duration of the workshop on: March 3rd 2012 - between 0830-1430 UTC
March 5th 2012 - between 0830-1430 UTC
(Workshop is for 3 hours but I'm requesting 6 hours just in case we are over
time or someone stays back to edit.)
Also, we would prefer not to use the option of giving someone rights to create
others' accounts. We would like the newbies to create their own accounts.
