Re: [CNSIG-Council] ISOC support for the upcoming IGF

Hi all,  Zenzeleni does not yet have funding to attend the IGF and we would be interested.  PS: If we do manage to get alternative funding Ill let you know.  Sol  2018-09-26 0:21 GMT+02:00 Karla Velasco &lt;karlavelascor(a)gmail.com <mailto:karlavelascor@gmail.com>>: Hello Nico, In addition to what Peter mentioned, I already have funds to attend the IGF as a Youth IGF fellow and as part of Redes A.C./Rhizomatica. For what I was told, my travel dates will be strictly between the 11 and the 14. Do you think we will meet a day before or after? So I can see if I can add them to my itinerary.  Moreover, at that time Rodrigo will be at ITU's Plenipotentiary Conference. From what we have been doing these last months, we managed to work on three documents that talk about community networks. You can find them attached. Rodrigo is also in this conversation in case you have any questions for him.  Best, On Tue, Sep 25, 2018 at 2:10 PM Peter &lt;peter(a)rhizomatica.org <mailto:peter@rhizomatica.org>> wrote: TIC and Rhizomatica already have funding to be there...

We would want the CN-SIG to choose those 2-3 humans/run the process for choosing. We will need to coordinate with you as we also are planning to provide funding to people working on some of our CN deployments or those receiving BNET grants for CN grants. And, for example Karla Velasco just made our 25 under 25 for IGF. Sol and I have talked a bit about this and we want to propose: 1) everyone who has already secured funding for their participation in the next IGF please say so; 2) if your organization is part of CN deployments mentioned by Jane or have been awarded BNET 2018 grants, let us know; 3) those willing to participate but have not yet secured funding, also please say so; and please detail if you are invited to take part in IGF panels or activities. With this information at hand, we can then collectively choose those 3 people we will propose to receive the travel support. Cheers! Nico -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
