Is it really necessary to start all seven at the same time, and now?
Would it not be better to start with two or three, where it is possible
to get a strong committee? And work with these six month or a year to
learn of challenges and possible improvements, before setting up the rest.

Dear all,
We hope this email finds you well and safe. The COVID 19 situation
continues to affect many of us across the globe and our thoughts are
with everyone affected. We are also aware that there are several
processes currently in progress that demand volunteer time and we do
not want to add more work to anyone's plate.
We do want to draw your attention to our new Regional Committees for
Grants though as they are an opportunity for you to have an active say
in the future of our Movement!
📣 So today, we invite you to join our new Regional Committees for
Grants! 📣
We encourage Wikimedians and Free Knowledge advocates to be part of
the new Regional Committees that the WMF Community Resources team is
setting up as part of the grants strategy relaunch [1]. You will be a
key strategic thought partner to help understand the complexities of
any region, provide knowledge and expertise to applicants, to support
successful movement activities, and make funding decisions for grant
applications in the region.
👉Find out more on meta [2].
Regional Committees will be established for the following regions:
* Middle East and Africa
* SAARC [3] region (Includes Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India,
the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka)
* East, Southeast Asia, and Pacific (ESEAP) region
* Latin America (LATAM) and The Caribbean
* United States and Canada
* Northern and Western Europe
* Central and Eastern Europe (CEE)
👉All details about the Committees and how to apply can be found on
meta [4]. Applications have to be submitted by *June 4, 2021*!
If you have any questions or comments, please use the meta discussion
page [5].
Please do share this announcement widely with your Network.
Best wishes,
Julia on behalf of the Community Resources Team
