Proposed participation

I am an active Wikimedian, working on different projects in Wikimedia since 2009. I have been accepted to participate in twelfth annual meeting of the Internet Governance Forum, which will be hosted in Geneva, Switzerland. Since deadline for hosting a session has passed, I plan to participate in workshops, meetings and discussions related internet policy, internet development, internet in education and future of internet.

Goal and expected impact

• As a result of my discussion, more people and organizations will become aware of Wikimedia movement, and our strategic plan for the future. I want to learn other ideas, best practices of planing the future, and how Wikimedia an other organizations with goal can collaborate toward better results.
• Additionally, I will bring my camera to the event, and will document the conference with pictures in Commons

Budget breakdown

• Travel (round trip airfare from x to y): USD 287
• Accommodation: Airbnb room, USD 60 per night x 5 nights = USD 300
