Dear All, thanks for your support!
The list has been created, africa(a)lists.cnsig.info (Thanks Nico).
I am on my way to the Africa Summit on Women and Girls in Technology
https://webfoundation.org/africasummit/ where I will be facilitating a two
part workshop on CNs, together with TunapandaNet, Mesh Bukavu and APC, so
great timing for this approval.
I will inform the Council on the interest and participation gained through
the mailing list.
If you are interested to be included let me know.
Best, Sol

So Sol, go ahead with the CNSIG Africa list !
Cheers,

what is quorum for CNSIG decisions?
We are 14 organizations right now, so we need 8 positive votes to approve a decision.

_Proposal_:
I would like to find a way to align the CN movement in Africa
to the
> CNSIG. After chatting to Nico E it seems that a good way to > engaging with other interested
members is through a mailing
list -
as
with LAC. The mailing list (africa(a)lists.cnsig.info
<mailto:africa@lists.cnsig.info>
<mailto:africa@lists.cnsig.info
<mailto:africa@lists.cnsig.info>>) would be open to all, and focus
African CN based themes. What Nico and I agreed is that we
must make
sure that the regional mailing lists somehow
feedback to the
council
so we can also gain from the global
experience.
_Kindly give your vote regarding the opening of the African
mailing
list for the CNSIG_.
Thanks, Sol
