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/>
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/>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) 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

there needs to be a mechanism for the regions to feed back into the main council/list

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/>
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/>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) 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

Dear All, thanks for your support!
The list has been created, africa(a)lists.cnsig.info (Thanks Nico).
I am on my way to the Africa Summit on Women and Girls in Technology
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.

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
