Hi Aishik
For clarity, I am part of the interim ESEAP Hub committee, I have been
involved with ESEAP since its founding in 2012, and I'm part of the ESEAP
COT for Wikimania 2023. Reading this and looking at the page you created,
what I see is a symptom of internal issues in Bangladesh and a decision to
up the ante on that by making this UG. While you have some individuals
you dont have any connections to the ESEAP part of your plans, nor has
anyone reached out to the region.
People are asking you to drop the claim because of that lack of connections
and the serious overlap in efforts. You have said "We are also open to
excluding the region if it helps" please do that.
Sorry for being blunt but you have been missing the advice of other people,
please just put your effort into resolving the internal issues in
Bangladesh.
