Hi Sol and group, On 2018-07-12 04:27 AM, Sol Luca de Tena wrote: For what I know, regarding the BtN they asked to do some clarifications (that were done) and that was about it for now. If any of you want to see what was presented, you can go here: https://pad.codigosur.org/CNSIG_BeyondTheNet_2018_medium https://pad.codigosur.org/CNSIG_BeyondTheNet_2018_large The activity in the chat has been mainly related to the BtN proposals, not much since that. As proposed topics for a council meeting I would say: * regional summits: get everyone up to speed about the regional meetings, when they are and where, who is gonna go to each, and how are we going to participate as CNSIG. For what I know, we have 4 this year (wow!): * Africa: 2-9 Sept, Mankosi, South Africa * Americas: End of year, place TBD * Asia: September, place TBD: http://cnxapac.org/ * North American (Indigenous): 8-12 October, Edmonton and Inuvik, Canada: https://www.internetsociety.org/events/indigenous-connectivity-summit/ I will hopefully be in Africa, Americas and Indigenous. Would suggest to share the space, and that we collectively grow on awareness on what the CNSIG can offer to each other and other new CNs that want to join. * Working Groups inspiration: despite we have had the WG for 6 months, nothing has really happened in them (AFAIK). I would say it is in part because we don't have an agenda, and for sure because we are overcomitted also, but having an agenda is key. I would encourage the council to inspire the WGs by proposing potential areas of work. * Funding opportunities: In AlterMundi, we have been collecting funding opportunities for project proposals, but we have not had time to write them! (overcomitting again). Would like to know if us as a collective would be interested in exploring funding opportunities together (apart from BtN), what to fund, and how to organize in this matter.
