- Feedback from Strategy team regarding application made following last meeting Your event does not seem specifically targeted for strategy discussions, and lacks a sufficient description and rationale for what you hope will take place during the event. We are also concerned that the timeline will not be feasible to offer funding processing for this event before it takes place. We would still very much like to support a strategy event for Wikimedia Australia, but would need a re-designed event purpose and rationale in order to proceed. If you are interested, we would like to request that you re-submit an application by Monday, June 10th for consideration. Deadline is tight - while there are good reasons for the application, we could as equally to let it go. Record that we have decided not to pursue the funding,
