Hi Roman,

I’ve begun a job now and been pondering giving money specifically for
supporting scholarships to Wikimania. Is that an option? I’d like to help
support for example increasing people coming from Myanmar abc other under
represented language regions.

Warm regards
Naureen Nayyar

Hi Naureen

I'm the scholarship co-chair, what you are offering is a wonderful
opportunity thank you.

Please contact Roman and me directly to discuss how we can make this a
reality , my initial thought is that WMF process would run it normal
course, while that is happening we can identify people from places like
Myanmar who rated highly but werent offered a place and dont have an
affiliate scholarship pathway to pursue.

There are some mechanics we'll need to put in place and there will also be
some privacy issues to consider, before it goes ahead.

Thank you again for such a wonderful offer

Regards
Gnangarra
