Hello BamLifa, thank you for providing the new budget and updating the same in the Probox. You have requested water, refreshments, camera rental for all three events within the WP20 conference. Are you expecting different audience for all three events. Can you provide more clarification regarding the same? The risk assessment tool sheet is not accessible. Kindly make the access public for it be viewable to public. Looking forward to your response. Regards RSharma (WMF) (talk) 09:09, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
