<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>I'll say in it's defense that
drumbeat is not a 'militant civil<br>
society organisation' by any means, it's a worthy effort with much of<br>
the same aims as ISOC, and which we should make every effort to<br>
support it. It is very young, and still unfocused, but it could well<br>
be a valuable partner in Community Projects. But just because it's<br>
the pre-occupation of the current Chairman, and former Executive<br>
Director, of OWD is no reason that OWD should be consigned to the<br>
scrapheap.<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>What is the nature of agreement (if any) between OWD and
Drumbeat ? If OWD is folded into Drumbeat, is there any merger agreement
that would legally prevent OneWebDay from continuing on its own?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>If there is no such legal arrangement, from Chapters we can
team up and carry it forward along its ORIGINAL plans. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>You mentioned that there was a suggestion to rename it
OneNetDay, if renaming is desirable, why not "Internet Day?"<o:p></o:p></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Isoc provided initial funds. Now if Chapters are to
'inherit' OWD, it may not be a bad idea to apply for a joint community grant. +
We can think of funds from Ford, Word Press and brainstorm for more donors. We
can also make some joint efforts such as a fresh social networking portel,
co-developed collaboratively with participation from those who are good at web
development.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>( I am setting up a small Web Development division, which
will have skillful resources to be committed to such an exercise. <a
href="http://www.isolatednetworks.com">http://www.isolatednetworks.com</a> ) At
Chennai we have a few more members who are talented in WebDevelopment who can
team up with you and others from elsewhere to get OWD re-launched on a more
impressive scale.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>A very attractive OWD sponsor could be the WordPress
Foundation, who<br>
just scored $28,000 off the the recent WordCamp NYC<br>
<a href="http://2009.newyork.wordcamp.org/2010/01/23/show-me-the-money/"
target="_blank">http://2009.newyork.wordcamp.org/2010/01/23/show-me-the-money/</a><br>
<br>
They could sponsor a full-on multi-user buddypress development for OneWebDay.<br>
<br>
One suggestion punted out is that we just ignore the old organization<br>
and work on OneNetDay - that would keep the techie quibblers quiet<br>
too!<br>
