for the very new "1net" initiative to assist in planning with this meeting.
There are folks from civil society, academia, and business sectors working
to put folks a "1net" steering committee as fast as possible, and there is a
need for similar representation from the Technical community. If you want
to help the 1net initiative along and additional be involved in a planning a
conference on very challenging timelines, then consider both joining the
mailing list and also volunteering on the list for being on the initial 1net
steering committee.
The above mentions that "there is a need for similar representation" without
providing enough details. It might be easier if the person(s) who identified
that need could explain what qualities are required to be considered as being
from the "Technical community".
Adiel indicated that 5 representatives from each of the 4 sectors are sought to
sit on the steering committee. In the case of Civil Society and Business
Community,
they seem quite accustomed to these kinds of requests (e.g. various coalitions
and
international organizations apparently ask for representatives in this
manner...)
