Event coordinator

I would like to request rights either indefinitely or until the end of 2019. I and a number of other linguists are doing a campaign for the UN International Year of Indigenous Languages which will involve a number of in-person edit-a-thons (and a remote edit-a-thon which will not involve the use of this right given the policy on granting confirmed status). We're using the outreach dashboard (link to campaign) to organize and facilitate these programs, and it's my understanding that using the account creator through that tool requires EVC rights. I previously held the right for an edit-a-thon at the LSA a few weeks ago but it has since expired. Wugapodes [thɑk] [ˈkan.ˌʧɹɪbz] 23:41, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Done @Wugapodes: adding for 4 months while we try to fix the throttle issue at the dashboard, feel free to ask for renewals if needed. — xaosflux Talk 00:25, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Xaosflux: Thanks, hopefully that gets addressed. Has the issue with confirmed editors not being able to create articles been addressed yet? I haven't seen anything on the talk page in a couple weeks. Wugapodes [thɑk] [ˈkan.ˌʧɹɪbz] 03:08, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Wugapodes: not yet, I think the developers are scheduling the fix soon, you can subscribe to phab:T213003 for real-time updates. — xaosflux Talk 03:22, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I am hosting an MLK Day Edit-a-thon, and I thought I had account creator privileges, but it is not working.

I will be conducting edit o thons in Udgir and Latur, Maharashtra on 24 Jan 2019 and 25 Jan 2019 IST, considering the limitations of time/infrastructure I could not go otherwise to request a ticket on phabricator/meta for the lift of cap on ip, So having a event coordinator rights would be great help.

I am currently at an editathon for Women's Classical Committee and would like to create an account for someone. As I have run an editathon in the past, I will likely have use of this right in the future as well. Mvolz (talk) 13:46, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Mvolz: I granted you event coordinator instead, which is similar but has more capabilities. Let me know if I've screwed something up. (FYI, Thryduulf asked me via Facebook message to look at this). HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 14:02, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am coordinating an event as part of the UN Year of Indigenous Languages on February 6, 2019, from 4pm to 7pm Eastern Time. This is part of the same campaign that Wugapodes (above) is working on and I'd like to use the Account Creator tool for our campaign to facilitate participation. Link to campaign, link to our particular event. Thank you! TheLeaper (talk) 15:15, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
