[CNSIG-Council] Fwd: SIG strategy plan presentation with CN SIG

by Adam Burns

This list has been quiet. I urge everyone who has an interest in the future of the ISOC Community Network SIG to participate and join this presentation. It has been short notice, and there were not many time-of-day alternatives to accommodate everyone's schedule. I ask you all to join this call if you can. Even on mute. I've been talking to Evelyn on acceptable ways to establish a ISOC acceptable bank account for the Community Network SIG. Ramon Roca from GuiFi.net has declared that the GuiFi Foundation was established precisely for this very purpose and they would be happy to sponsor the account resources. I think now is the time to re-evaluate the SIG. This group has the potential to be an active federated resource & exchange for independent and autonomous networks. The greater SIG membership is about 900 members and growing. The relative silence on this list has not been heard by the 900 members. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow, Adam. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: SIG strategy plan presentation with CN SIG Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2020 08:42:43 +0000 From: Evelyn Namara <namara(a)isoc.org> To: Adam Burns <adamb(a)free2air.net>, bruno(a)pobox.com <bruno(a)pobox.com>, sarbanibelur(a)iitb.ac.in <sarbanibelur(a)iitb.ac.in>, giudicejesica(a)altermundi.net <giudicejesica(a)altermundi.net>

[CNSIG-Council] Fwd: Presenting SIG Strategy to CN SIG officers

by Jesica

I received this email from ISOC. There are 7 days to reply. Does anyone apply to participate? Recibí este correo desde ISOC. Hay 7 días para contestar. Alguien se ofrece? -------- Messaggio Inoltrato -------- Oggetto: Presenting SIG Strategy to CN SIG officers Data: Mon, 12 Oct 2020 18:42:33 +0000 (UTC) Mittente: Evelyn Namara <mailer(a)isoc.org> Rispondi-a: Evelyn Namara <namara(a)isoc.org> A: Jésica Selene Giudice <giudicejesica(a)altermundi.net> Dear Jésica Selene Giudice, Earlier this year I reached out to the SIG leaders mailing list and asked for a group of volunteers to constitute a Working Group that would focus on finding solutions to the pertinent issues SIGs face. I’m happy to announce that over the course of the last 2 to 3 months, the working group constituting of SIG leaders and ChAC volunteers met 5 times and together came up with some concrete suggestions that today constitute the SIG strategy for 2021. The strategy has been shared with the Senior Executive Team of the Internet Society and now ready to be presented to you. I have created a https://doodle.com/poll/g8tpfbx6ubznannt in order for us to lock in the time for our conversation. What I require from you! Please nominate one person to VOTE on the https://doodle.com/poll/g8tpfbx6ubznannt. The nominated person should look at the available times and discuss these with the other SIG officers to get the best time for everyone The nominated person goes back to form and casts a vote for the appropriate time for ALL SIG leaders to attend the call After receiving the vote, I will set up a call at that time and invite all SIG leaders of the Accessibility SIG to the call You can only VOTE for a one-time slot per SIG. I request that the nominated person looks at the doodle this week because the schedule starts tomorrow, Tuesday, 13 October 2020. Looking forward to presenting to you all and gathering your invaluable feedback. Kind Regards, Evelyn

[CNSIG-Council] Set a date for the community networks meeting (Webinar)

by Jesica

ESPAÑOL Disculpen, no hemos definido una fecha para el encuentro de redes comunitarias. Hasta el momento sólo definimos que fuera la primera semana de Septiembre. A mí me viene bien viernes (12 - 18UTC) o domingo (cualquier hora), pero me puedo adaptar a otros días/horarios. Mientras antes haya una definición, antes nosotros podremos invitar a redes y organizaciones fuera de este grupo/CNSIG. INGLES Sorry, we have not set a date for the community networks meeting. So far we only define it to be the first week of September. Friday (12 - 18UTC) or Sunday (any time) is good for me, but I can adapt to other days / times. The sooner there is a definition, the sooner we can invite networks and organizations outside of this group / CNSIG.

[CNSIG-Council] 28th July Webinar of CNs

by Jesica

SPANISH Queridis, surgido por las exigencias de ISOC respecto de los SIGs es que nos planteamos una reunión de RCs para el 28 de Julio, dentro de poco más de dos semanas. Les parece que lo llevemos adelante? Lo dejamos para el 28, cambiamos fecha? Quiénes tienen ganas de participar, quiéne quieren contribuir para organizarlo? Por mi parte, estoy con muchas ganas de darle un empujoncito a este espacio y dedicarle un poco de amor para mantenerlo. Entiendo que es un año difícil para muches de nosotres, tal vez compartirnos nos de un grato momento :) ENGLISH Dears, As a result of ISOC's demands regarding SIGs, we are planning a CN meeting for July 28, in just over two weeks. What do you think, we do it? On 28th, or we change the date? Who wants to participate? Who wants to contribute to organize it? About myself, I am eager to give this space a little push and dedicate a little love to maintain it. I understand that it is a difficult year for many of us, perhaps sharing us give us a pleasant moment :) PORTUGUES Meus queridis, Como resultado das demandas do ISOC em relação aos SIGs, estamos planejando uma reunião da CN no dia 28 de julho, em pouco mais de duas semanas. O que você acha, nós fazemos? No dia 28, ou mudamos a data? Quem quer participar? Quem quer contribuir para organizá-lo? Sobre mim, estou ansiosa para dar um empurrão neste espaço e dedicar um pouco de amor para mantê-lo. Entendo que é um ano difícil para muit@s de nós, talvez compartilhar nos dê um momento agradável :)

Re: [CNSIG-Council] URGENT!! FEW OURS LEFT. CNSIG - 2020 activity plan

by Jesica

ENGLISH Sarbani has a problem with the list, meanwhile I share with you her email... Also, Sarbani and Sol Luca de Tena (she is not available for sending mails for personal reasons) have aproved the document (by chat), and they confirmed their assistance to the webinar on July 28th. We can´t apply for chapter&sigs ISOC grants, because we don´t have a legal entity nor bank account... I will share with ISOC the activity plan as it is, we have no more time. Then, we can check if we want/need to do something different. But this burocracy is urgent... Cheers! ------------------------------------- SPANISH Sarbani tiene un problema con la lista de correos, mientras tanto... les comparto su mail. También, Sarbani y Sol Luca de Tena (quien no puede enviar correos por razones personales) aprueban el documento (lo hemos conversado por chat), y ambas han confirmado que asistirán al webinar del 28 de julio. Nosotros no podemos aplicar a los grants de ISOC para chapters y sigs porque no tenemos entidad legal ni cuenta bancaria. Compartiré con ISOC el plan de actividades como está en el pad ahora, ya que no nos queda más tiempo. Luego, podemos confirmar si queremos o necesitamos hacer algo diferente, pero este trámite es urgente... Saludos!
