Hi Bobby, Thanks for the minutes. And a big hugs to colleagues who attended the meeting. Unfortunately, I didn't get a reminder even though I accepted the invite (not a fault from you Bobby). I think I need to check the settings of my calendar. Isaac On Sat, 19 Mar 2022, 20:41 Bobby Shabangu, <bobbyshabangu(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Dear all, Thanks for taking your time and casting your votes. The final score after consolidating all the votes - which can also be seen here <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zB9yUDIWnvhEgtLi8g6XiHt6MlIuIcKnztaW6FgxrW0/edit?resourcekey#gid=2141922799> - went like this: - Côte d'Ivoire, West Africa - *43 Points * - Tanzania, East Africa - *37 Points * - Rwanda, East Africa - *47 Points * This means that Rwanda has come on top. Please note blank areas were deliberately left out by Raphael and Isaac. The next step is to proceed and write 3 emails as follows: 1. a congratulatory email to Rwanda, 2. thank you letters to UG Tchad, UG Rwanda and UG Côte d'Ivoire for participating and encouraging them to bid for next year 3. and an announcement to the African communities about the WikiIndaba Conference host for 2022. I'll begin with the email to Rwanda, @Georges and @Sami kindly assist. Also any volunteers here are welcome - communications to be cleared by Wiscom before it goes out?
