[bestbits] A Day0 proposal, tentatively submitted as individual by submission deadline.

Mon Apr 15 04:32:54 EDT 2019

Dear Siva,

My comment comes from a very simple reality: I am new in the space and my
connections and options to involve other organizations is mostly in those
two countries. I may be able to facilitate to increase their presence while
I doubt I can do much for other regions at the moment.

By all means, I would hope that other people do the same in the areas where
they can have some positive participation outcomes. I do not have the
proper contacts with EFF, Mozilla and other relevant stakeholders. I wish I
did. I am talking with many other organizations in the past weeks to
encourage them to join the conversation and to attempt some level of
organization.

As for Germany, yes we should and I have started doing my own list based on
our contacts.

I was just wondering about where could we be putting all this info (agenda,
who are the orgs we are approaching, etc) in a centralized place (an
etherpad or G Docs).
That could be a way to coordinate that. We identify organizations and ask
for people to pick up those they have contact with or refer us so that we
can manage the engagement.
(This point -the information- leads back to something I've been proposing
around: we need a global CRM for CS - More on this as we move on)

Best,
Jean
