Yes, I think we got a bit mixed up.
This global meeting for which we will need to push forward inside ISOC
to get the 2019 budget to include it in the year's plan is just an idea
for now. One I think we must materialize, but it's only starting to be
discussed.
The Battlemesh discussion on where to hold it's next meeting I
understand is a separate matter. Now if we all agree to merge Battlemesh
- or Cuddlemesh! as jenny proposed in other spaces - with the
ISOC/CNSIG summit, that would be great too, and we have plenty of time
to talk about this.
Regarding Sol's point to diversify continents, I too was curious as to
why ISOC is planning to support a regional meeting in Latin America
only, so I had a chat with Sebastian today. He informed me that regional
meetings will also be held in Africa and Asia. He will put me in contact
with the people who are already organizing those events so we can
discuss CNSIG involvement.
I'll let you all know as soon as I have more info on those events; then
we can plan for the CNSIG involvement in all three regions.
Cheers!
Nico
