Hello,
Thanks Nico for sharing this. I appreciate being put forward, and would be
interested, but I do want to give the opportunity to others too. John Dada
of Fantsuam is also based in the continent.
This thread is a good opportunity for me to share some thoughts on CNs
based in Africa. Some of you may know that one of the Zenzeleni founders,
Carlos Rey-Moreno, was involved for the last two years in creating the
African Summit in CNs, under the auspices of ISOC, and APC. This is the
3rd year and Zenzeleni is hosting it in South Africa (info to be shared
soon when all logistics sorted). Through this group I have come into
contact with a number of amazing CN initiatives. Some, or all of them are
part of the national or regional ISOC Chapters. I think these CNs should
be able to participate in the CNSIG and would like to extend the
invitation. On the other hand I think we should also take on the task of
looking at the Chapters and figuring out which are most aligned to us, and
what are the synergies and differences between them and us. Maybe this
Advocacy meeting is a good place to look into this in our continent at
least.
So, in summary:
1. John Dada are you going to the 2018 ISOC African Chapters' Advocacy
Meeting? If you are I would love to join and meet you. If you are not
going, would you be interested in representing the CNSIG? We can discuss
pros and cons of either of us representing.
2. Do any of you have any thoughts on reaching out to African CNs?
3. A bit related/unrelated - we have the role of "trusted advisors" in the
CNSIG, I would like to propose Carlos Rey-Moreno as a trusted advisor. He
coordinates the CN project in APC, is an experiences CN implementor, works
around the world on Advocacy for CNs ...I think most of you know him. I
bring it out now because I think it would help to align our work well in
distinction to other groups' work on CNs.

Hi Council,
A quick message to let you know that I have been accepted to participate in
the upcoming ISOC African Chapter meeting on behalf on the CNSIG. I will
use this opportunity to meet African based CNs, understand further the
interactions between African Chapter members and overlaps with the CNSIG
and see if the CNs in this region are interested in the joining the CNSIG.
If so I will use the "form" we have presenting new CNs, and share the
presentations with you for your comments.
I am excited for this opportunity and I think that having more African
representation in the SIG will offer an important global south
contribution.
If you would like me to consider, or would like me to transmit anything
specific, in this meeting please let me know. I would also appreciate is
the the Work Group coordinators could send an updated paragraph about their
work - maybe we can use these next 3 weeks to push for more work in the WG?
(just a suggestion and encouragement to all - myself included).
Lastly, I wanted to ask if there was a visual presentation made for the
Berlin round table? If anyone has anything I would like to take it in case
the opportunity comes up to share something visually.
Regards,
Sol

of Fantsuam is also based in the continent.
This thread is a good opportunity for me to share some thoughts on CNs

African Summit in CNs, under the auspices of ISOC, and APC. This is the
3rd year and Zenzeleni is hosting it in South Africa (info to be shared
soon when all logistics sorted). Through this group I have come into
contact with a number of amazing CN initiatives. Some, or all of them are
part of the national or regional ISOC Chapters. I think these CNs should
be able to participate in the CNSIG and would like to extend the
invitation. On the other hand I think we should also take on the task of
looking at the Chapters and figuring out which are most aligned to us, and
what are the synergies and differences between them and us. Maybe this
Advocacy meeting is a good place to look into this in our continent at
least.
So, in summary:
1. John Dada are you going to the 2018 ISOC African Chapters' Advocacy

New subject: [CNSIG-Council] Fwd: 2018 ISOC African Chapters' Advocacy Meeting: Invitation to apply for Travel Fellowship.
Hi Sol,
Congratulations!
Good idea for the paragraphs about the WGs. I planned to work on this
next week anyway.
We didn't use any visuals in Berlin except the two videos uploaded on
the CNSIG youtube channel:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfMr2moBgC8add1WtCRPNBQ
(and some "technical" slides by Thiago on the policy WG)
Best,
Panos.

Hi Council,
A quick message to let you know that I have been accepted to
participate in the upcoming ISOC African Chapter meeting on behalf on
the CNSIG. I will use this opportunity to meet African based CNs,
understand further the interactions between African Chapter members
and overlaps with the CNSIG and see if the CNs in this region are
interested in the joining the CNSIG. If so I will use the "form" we
have presenting new CNs, and share the presentations with you for your
comments.
I am excited for this opportunity and I think that having more African
representation in the SIG will offer an important global south
contribution.
If you would like me to consider, or would like me to transmit
anything specific, in this meeting please let me know. I would also
appreciate is the the Work Group coordinators could send an updated
paragraph about their work - maybe we can use these next 3 weeks to
push for more work in the WG? (just a suggestion and encouragement to
all - myself included).
Lastly, I wanted to ask if there was a visual presentation made for
the Berlin round table? If anyone has anything I would like to take it
in case the opportunity comes up to share something visually.
Regards,
Sol

Dear All
I think there should be the strong presence of SIG in the African
Chapter meeting, this will give our group more chance to connect
to more CN's based in the region.

Hi all, I'm following up on this email thread.
In short I agree that the SIG should be represented in the
African Chapter
meeting and that I would be very happy to represent. I have
followed up
with John Dada who is also keen to attend. However, we have
missed the
application for fellowships - I am following up with ISOC to
see if we can
apply by tonight. I will apply and try include John Dada
too...or if
anyone has any other ideas on trying to get 2 people on
fellowships please
speak up!
This relates to my other point about connecting to other CNs
in Africa -
and figuring out overlaps with Chapters. If I go to the
meeting I will try
clarify this, and make a proposal to the council for adding
more African
CNs.
Will let you know if we manage to get to the meeting,
Cheers,
Sol

Hello,
Thanks Nico for sharing this. I appreciate being put forward,
and would be
interested, but I do want to give the opportunity to others
too. John Dada
of Fantsuam is also based in the continent.
This thread is a good opportunity for me to share some
thoughts on CNs
based in Africa. Some of you may know that one of the
Zenzeleni founders,
Carlos Rey-Moreno, was involved for the last two years in
creating the
African Summit in CNs, under the auspices of ISOC, and APC.
This is the
3rd year and Zenzeleni is hosting it in South Africa (info to
be shared
soon when all logistics sorted). Through this group I have
come into
contact with a number of amazing CN initiatives. Some, or all
of them are
part of the national or regional ISOC Chapters. I think these
CNs should
be able to participate in the CNSIG and would like to extend the
invitation. On the other hand I think we should also take on
the task of
looking at the Chapters and figuring out which are most
aligned to us, and
what are the synergies and differences between them and us.
Maybe this
Advocacy meeting is a good place to look into this in our
continent at
least.
So, in summary:
1. John Dada are you going to the 2018 ISOC African Chapters'
Advocacy
Meeting? If you are I would love to join and meet you. If you
are not
going, would you be interested in representing the CNSIG? We
can discuss
pros and cons of either of us representing.
2. Do any of you have any thoughts on reaching out to African CNs?
3. A bit related/unrelated - we have the role of "trusted
advisors" in the
CNSIG, I would like to propose Carlos Rey-Moreno as a trusted
advisor. He
coordinates the CN project in APC, is an experiences CN
implementor, works
around the world on Advocacy for CNs ...I think most of you
know him. I
bring it out now because I think it would help to align our
work well in
distinction to other groups' work on CNs.
Cheers,
Sol

Hi all,
I'm forwarding this invitation so we can discuss our
participation.
I'm thinking Sol or someone else based in Africa could be a
good initial
candidate... but of course that depends on the will and
availability of
our members based in the region.
cheers,
