Dear all,
The governing structure has created a lot of confusion, so taking in
account comments and questions, I have compiled this new version where
the situation is simplified.
I shared it with a couple of people in the group just to check, now I'm
sharing with everyone.
Please have a look and share your opinions:
https://pad.codigosur.org/CNSIG_Bylaws2
ISOC has reported that the Peer review has ended and we are free to move
forward.
We can present the Bylaws document when we consider it finished and the
rest of the process is quite simple.
Cheers,
Nico

Hello friends,
If you are receiving this e-mail, you have been contacted in the past
weeks either by me or by Nico Pace regarding the foundation of the ISOC
CNSIG and you have agreed to be a part of it.
If the e-mail address you were subscribed with is incorrect, please
unsubscribe and subscribe back with the correct one.
We have been discussing and collectively editing the SIG application in
this pad:
https://pad.codigosur.org/CNSIG
I sent this application to ISOC already and as many of you know it is in
the process of peer review until December 13 (tomorrow in most timezones).
In the meantime, some of us have been writing a first draft of the SIG
Bylaws:
https://pad.codigosur.org/CNSIG_Bylaws
(all text with no color is from the ISOC template)
My proposal, because this is a complex document where every part has to
make sense with the rest is that we discuss in this e-mail thread any
important or structural change.
Just as an introduction before you read the Bylaws, I want to clarify
some points:
1) we have organized the SIG in a way that it's Board has very little
executive power and is mostly tasked with representing the SIG and
keeping the administrative work in order.
2) we defined an Executive Council that is the governing body and takes
every decision. This council can have up to three members from each
Community Network organization.
3) Members of this SIG must be active participants in Community Networks
projects.
4) Trusted Advisors are a special kind of member which must be invited
and approved by the CN members.
well... those I believe are the central organizing ideas. The rest is
there to read. Please write your name on top of the pad so we have a
color reference of authorship.
You will find that articles VIII to XI have not been edited much. These
need work.
Cheers !!

PS: we have a chance to have the SIG approved during the IGF if we can
finish the Bylaws in time.
