Hi all: Kelsey, thank you very much for pushing this forward. While Alex and I have been rather quiet on this we were following this discussion with great interest, and we proudly reported to the other RCs and Ryan during last week’s skype call that the pooling of ideas here happens organically, bottom-up and truly affiliate-driven. This is very much aligned with Ryan’s intentions in that he was quite clear from the outset that regional participation in the planning of the Summit should not be something that is primarily RC-driven. As a result, we were, for instance, discouraged from participating in the GS planning committee. Btw, is anybody on this list now officially a part of the planning committee? I am not sure whether a final selection has already taken place but I am happy to follow up with Paul Stacey if nobody was invited as yet. The ideas captured in the spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-5YNxLSjKeTrw5lH7x2Ei16MoNsTDldvA53Sk0kR7Kc/edit#gid=0) are all great and while I have voted I am happy to be overruled. Whatever ideas are selected we will support as RCs. Ideally, I would like to see affiliates as project managers but if we see that this becomes a problem (e.g., because of lack of time of the affiliate in charge) we will of course provide support or even take over. We should have more than one project manager. Now, at this point there is little else to add from our side. But I want to strongly encourage all of you to vote on the ideas put forward. I believe the agreed deadline is 5 June. So why not taking a moment now to quickly vote ;-) Here is the link again: http://doodle.com/b2a8u78na2375qz9 In terms of next steps, I suggest that once the results are in we schedule a skype call (ideally next week) with those who have proposed the winning ideas and those generally interested in taking this further. The results of that call should then be communicated to Paul Stacey and the organising committee to plan how these ideas can best be incorporated into the Summit programme. I have noted, however, that not all ideas are actually for programme items, correct? The Mix tape or culture book ideas, for instance, require the actual work to be completed before the summit and what we could do in South Korea is some kind of launch events I suppose. Oh, one last thing - prompted by Simeon’s remark about him planning a (global) session on School of Open. Can everybody proposing such ideas (other examples would be the Cookbook or Women in Open Workshop) please also capture them in the google doc: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-5YNxLSjKeTrw5lH7x2Ei16MoNsTDldvA53Sk0kR7Kc/edit#gid=0 I have created a second sheet (called “global”) for this. That way this google doc can become some sort of master document for what affiliates from Africa contribute to the Summit. All the best and thanks again for showing so much enthusiams.
