Extension request edit
Is your final report due but you need more time?
Extension request edit
New end date edit
October 31, 2018
Rationale edit
The initial proposal was a six months project, but we created a new strategy that involved training the WiR, creating manuals of this training, and establishing a flexible part-time job that allowed us to do more activities with the same budget.

Approving a new end date of October 31, 2018. Glad you're adapting your plan to make best use of the resources available. --Marti (WMF) (talk) 06:39, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
