Another piece of context is the short discussion WMF and WMZA had over the grant report about the Indaba.  It is available here:

the report itself is here:

Hi Rex,

A grievous mistake from me. And my sincere apologies for not coming back to inform you about this in time. I thought this was one of the things we would be discussing on the African meetup sessions.
 
After the Indaba we (WMZA) had a meeting to look at what we have learned from organizing the Indaba, what can be improved in organizing the next one (be it in SA or any other African country that might want to organize it in the future) and if we have achieved our purpose as a chapter. And one of the things that came out was that the work was massive to be achieved in 1 year, so looking at the experience we had, we saw that for achieving the goals we set out to do plus organising another conference 2 years would be adequate.

Regards,
Bobby Shabangu

Great to hear the updates.

I read: 
"We took a decision that we will be having an Indaba after every 2 years."

Am I part of the 'We' in this statement? Or there's a committee responsible for determining how frequent the Indaba happens?

thanks

Hi Felix and Rex,

My apologies for not coming back to you in time Felix. And thanks for bringing this up Rex.

We took a decision that we will be having an Indaba after every 2 years. As you may agree with me that In order to move forward we need to address the issues raised at the Indaba, So as much as we are all busy but the 24 months will give us ample time to address the proposals and recommendations taken at the Indaba.

Otherwise as Theresa has pointed out let's meet at the African meetup in Berlin and discuss this further. And those who are going to Mexico let's meet there as well.

Regards,
Bobby Shabangu

My man Bobby promised to get back on that question when i asked so i am patiently waiting.
