Thank you Asaf for correcting my facts.
When I said WMIN was denied funding, It was obvious that I was referring to
the large chunk of budget that was denied and didn't mean that "no funding
was approved". I am glad to see your reply to Gerald's question that I
attempted to answer, which you found

Can you please elaborate a bit more on the disagreement of 'how'

Thanks, Muzammil, but I feel we're still in the dark. "A coordinated
approach" does suggest that whatever was done was done in coordination

what form that approach took: was it a coordinated plan to activate a bot

Hoi,
Seriously, do you want to make a difference.. Is there room to make an
effort? Do we dare to? We are very set in our ways. The WMF has an

I do know that the Indian chapter did not receive the funding it looked for
and, personally I
Hi Gerard,
I know a chapter in Europe, where probably you come from, which doesn't
depend on WMF's grant or funds as it has raised a huge amount on its own.

Hoi,
Independence is just that. When you can get money when you focus on certain
goals, you will when you do. When you want to go a different route, you may
but that is your route and funding for it is your responsibility as well.
Given what a chapter is, I would expect that it has ample scope to
