Dear All, thanks for your support!
The list has been created, africa(a)lists.cnsig.info <mailto:africa@lists.cnsig.info>
(Thanks Nico).
I am on my way to the Africa Summit on Women and Girls in Technology
https://webfoundation.org/africasummit/ <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

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

Hello all,
I am writing to you to revive the issue of including more African
CNs in the CNSIG, and to get your vote to create an African
mailing
list for the CNSIG.
_A bit of background:_
- As you may recall John Dada from Fatsuam and I participated in a
workshop on CNs at the African Union Commission in June, this
coincided with the African ISOC Chapter meeting where CNs were
also
further explored.
- In addition earlier this month Zenzeleni hosted the African
Summit
on CNs
<https://www.internetsociety.org/events/summit-community-networks-africa/2018/
<https://www.internetsociety.org/events/summit-community-networks-africa/2018/>>
in South Africa (ISOC and APC).
- Both events and many other interactions between CNs in the
continent have led to a growing movement, interested, support and
the creation of common/shared resources between CNs, support from
awesome groups such as AfChix <http://www.afchix.org/
<http://www.afchix.org/>>and also
politically.
- There is a growing momentum to support current and fledgling CNs
and I believe that it would be very positive for the CNSIG to have
input and interactions with African based CNs, and visa versa.
- I have previously proposed including another African CN and this
request got very little feedback. After chatting about it in
the SIG
and individually with members it seems that
there are two main
barriers when it comes to working together cross regionally: 1)
there are some language/ social barriers, 2) there are certain
region specific contexts that only interest/ pertain to the region
at hand. These barriers seem to hinder participation not because
anyone is against it, but rather through lack of time, focus or
understanding.
_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 start
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>>
<mailto:africa@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 on
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
