[CNSIG-Council] executive council expired

by Nicolás Echániz

Hi all, Our current executive council mandates have expired and we haven't been able to organize a meeting so far. I propose some alternatives: 1) we agree on a meeting date during next week. 2) we renew our current mandates for another period. If someone cannot renew, we will need volunteers to cover the role(s) 3) we close shop :) Cheers! Nico

[CNSIG-Council] IGF 2019 Call for Workshop Proposals

by Nicolas Pace

Hi everyone, So, two weeks (The deadline is Friday 12 April 2019 23:59 UTC) to present workshop proposals on CN from the SIG for the IGF. https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2019-call-for-workshop… DC3 (The Dynamic Coalision for Community Connectivity, a space created by some of the people in this list specifically for CN related topics) has their own space. ISOC and APC will probably propose something. I would invite us to reflect if we want to be part of this spaces and how. I see IGF spaces as a platform for us to get together and coordinate and disseminate what we do with others, while we don't have a space for it by ourselves. It can demand a lot of energy (and Luca and NicoE have been investing a lot). I doubt the usefulness that this may have in influencing regulation, but would love others to challenge that :) I particularly would love to hear Erick and Karla's position on this, as they have the regulators and lawmakers perspective on it. regards,
