Please note that in 2014, Lunar New Year holidays, which some Asian countries
congrat, would be started on Jan 30th. The closer FAD is organized, the more
difficult for someone from such those countries to attend.
Therefore, it is better to held it in a week sooner (10th-12th of Jan)
Hi all,
I have been crazily busy for a few weeks. Now I am back. And I would like to
warm this back.
Firstly, PH team, could you please confirm the final time you can organize FAD.
Now we have two choices: Jan 17-19th and Jan 10-12th. It is not a big deal and
it is up to you, please give your final decision.
Next, I think all of us who are interested in participating this FAD should
work on together for the event preparation tasks and agenda. I will work with
Magie and PH team to draft one and give you all to comment more.
So Magie and PH team, when are you available to start this job?
Remember that at first, this FAD is only for ambassadors to work together to
make the APAC Ambassadors Budget Plan in FY2015. Some more goals could be
considered to achieve, but they should not effect to this main goal.
(we can surely do more FAD(s) later for other _unrelated_ goals)
We have got some money left in FY2015 budget [1]. I am thinking we can use it
for this FAD to make the FY2015 better (in planning and budget). If it is not
enough, we can also ask for more money (for FADs, it is from budget owner)
I hope we can bring together (at least) 7-9 most active ambassadors in APAC to
work together and it would help APAC region to grow up. Others are welcome to
join, but I am not sure we can have enough money to sponsor them.
