>> This far much of the activity going on is information gathering and we
>> really
>> need speed-up preparation if we are to get a successful event in January
>> which
>> is just five few months away. Prometheus radio is putting together a list
>> for
>> material we hope to buy locally and use in the construction of the radio
>> station.
>> I tried to put up a wiki page today for the event, so we could started
>> gathering
>> all these fantastic ideas that are coming up in the mailing list to one
>> place to
>> avoid us losing them  to the list archive. But unfortunately the indymedia
>> documentation wiki site is down and as soon as the tech folks get it up
>> and
>> running I'll try to do just that.
>>
>> POINTS THAT CAN BE dealt WITH IMMEDIATELY:
>> Very salient points were raised in the list that need be dealt with right
>> away.
>>
>> 1-Fabian proposed that we start the meeting  earlier may be a week before
>> the
>> forum.  Since the forum will go from January 20 to 25, 2007. The
>> Convergence
>> media Center in Nairobi Kenya for the  7th World Social Forum (WSF) should
>> go
>> operational from January 13th 2007.
>> Is there any objection to this ?.
>>
>> 2-The Mali collective has indicated their desire to send 3 delegates to
>> the
>> event. They have further
>> indicated that they will take time of to research: - necessary visa
>> formality
>> travel and -ticket cost which I think all others should do as well.
>> On the question on general information about things like cost of leaving
>> in
>> Kenya and general traveling information, I think the World Social Forum
>> folks
>> did a great job under the topics : Getting to Nairobi, Where to stay,
>> Getting
>> around, meeting place and Communication on their website at
>> http://socialforum.or.ke/
>>
>> Thus all are encourages to research ticket cost from their area of
>> location.
>> In this respect since it is absolutely important for us to get the ticket
>> cost
>> for delegates who will be coming from various countries I wish to make the
>> following proposal.
>> 1-That in the next (2-3) days we make an appeal for activists from across
>> the
>> network who will like to go to the WSF forum to indicate and do so within
>> the
>> next 14 so that we can start planning and fund raising especially for
>> people
>> like Fabian who are interest in fund raising for tickets.
>> -The list of preference as to how we fund delegates will be based on the
>> funds
>> we get.
>> But it will start with African delegates who leave in an environment where
>> fund
>> raising is very difficult. Then volunteers who will like to help run
>> workshops,
>> then any other person along that line. Again this is a proposal and your
>> input
>> is needed before we word it to a final proposal for distribution across
>> the
>> indymedia-network.
>> The information on those hoping to come will give us a better idea on the
>> space
>> we may need organize for logging and all other cost needed for the full
>> period
>> of the Conference.
>>
>> AS OF NOW:
>> We participated in the World Social forum online consultation at:
>> http://consultation.wsf2007.org/
>> That is, we registered on the on line interface as ?WSF 2007 convergence
>> Independent Media Center and radio project.?. By doing so we did explain
>> what
>> our activity will be.
>> The last 2 on line bulletins of the WSF indicated that on line
>> consultation
>> should end this August that is tomorrow. The preparation group of the
>> forum
>> will gather all the input and that will help in the laying out of the
>> Calendar
>> of activity etc. Then, when official registration for the forum starts
>> we'll
>> then register again as a group. I hope that this could so make things to
>> work
>> out that we could end-up being able to negotiate a strategically Central
>> space
>> at the forum ground for our center, but that is still a  ?May be?.

>> Sphinx
