Dear affiliates,
We are now opening the process to form the Program Selection Committee
for the Creative Commons Global Summit 2013.
The Program Selection Committee will be formed by 5-6 affiliate
representatives (preferably one from each of our major regions), 2
members of CC HQ staff, and 1-2 members of the local team from
Argentina.
The Selection Committee will be in charge of reading all the talks
submitted, deciding whether they should be included in the program,
and designing a schedule around these talks. The Selection Committee
may also reach out to local and international advisers on key topics
(education, FLOSS, open access, GLAM, etc.), to help them determine
the best possible program for that topic based on the talks submitted.
We are currently seeking nominations for the affiliate members of the
Program Selection Committee. Nominees must have at least 20 hours (in
total) available between now and mid-June to work on the program. If
you are interested in participating, please respond to this email. If
we get more than the required number of nominees, we will introduce a
selection/election process.
We also want to remind everyone about that the call for talks is open
and that it will remain open until 24th May. You can fill in this form
to submit your talk:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Fd-oreSn0HwPsrLdMCaX6dkA7EFINmbgEOuPILmVcaE/viewform
We encourage everyone to participate in the process for the selection
committee. Propositions will be accepted until Friday next week.
Regards,
The organising team of the CC Global Summit

Hello CC Africa community,
I wanted to share with you that we are planning a Creative Commons Salon in Nairobi in June in partnership with Creative Commons Kenya and the Center for Intellectual Property and Information Technology, the School of Open Kenya, and the organization I work for, Akili Dada, a leadership incubator for young African women. As a former CC employee originally based at HQ in California, I'm so excited to be able to help launch what will surely be the first of many CC Salons here in Nairobi.
We'll continue to keep everyone updated, and will be sure to share photos, video, and experiences from the event that will hopefully inspire others to launch their own CC Salons as well!
The event will be held on Thursday, June 6th from 5-7:30pm.
We will be talking about using tech as a democratizing tool. Among the areas of focus will be how to deploy tech to increase gender equality and equity.
Tentatively confirmed panelists include:
Paul Kiwehlo, CC Tanzania
Bitange Ndemo, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Information and Communications
Judith Owigar, President of Akirachix, a network of women in technology
Wanjiru Kamau-Rutenberg, Executive Director of Akili Dada
We're thrilled that the iHub has agreed to provide the venue for the event, and the National Council for Law Reporting has generously agreed to sponsor catering.
Planning to add the event to the CC wiki soon :)
Kind regards,
Allison Domicone
