Dear Sandister and Isla,
Thank you for this ping and for a clarifying question!
- We are asking regional collaboratives to nominate one person to take
part in a design group. The aim of the group is to design the virtual
events that will concentrate on creating the implementation plan for the
movement strategy recommendations [1] in a participatory and inclusive way.
The voice of Indaba is needed to meet your expectations and enable
participation of your region in the upcoming conversations. Please consult
the previous email sent to this list or our landing page on meta [2].
- Some regional collaboratives already have their usual communication
space as a Facebook group, Telegram channel, etc. where nominations and
discussions can happen. As an option we have provided a central nomination
space on meta, which could be used. I have just added a space for
WikiIndaba there [3] - feel free to use it.
- The process is not strict, but overall we encourage nominating people
who know your region and its challenges and opportunities well and can
engage in a conversation to surface these perspectives. It can also be a
self-nomination. We do not recommend a voting process, but rather an
endorsement process where other members of the community can support the
candidates. The person with most compelling endorsements will be the one
that seems to be best fit to take the seat for the region. You can propose
ideas to improve this process to be better adapted to how you work together.
I hope it makes things more clear. Looking forward to your nomination and
seeing WikiIndaba well presented in the movement strategy discussions
moving forward into implementation!
Best regards,
Kaarel
