[Chapter-delegates] OneWebDay 2008

[hassene sidatt]

Dear Sabrina,

As we are a new chapter, just starting a plan of action, this event will be interesting for us to integrate in our 2008 plan.

It would be great to have reports done on that event in the past.


Best regards,

Hassene Sidatt
ISOC chapter Mauritania

Dear Joly, Dear Colleagues

Thanks for bringing this topic up, Joly, this is good timing.

ISOC Chapters have successfully participated in the 'OneWebDay' event in 
2006 and 2007. The events were used as an opportunity to showcase the 
great work being done by ISOC Chapters but also to highlight the 
Internet (rather than just the Web).

We would like to know from Chapter Delegates if your Chapter is 
interested in participating in the 'OneWebDay' 2008 ?

Please respond to <chapters at isoc.org>.

Best regards,

       Sabrina Wilmot
       Manager, Chapters & Individual Members
       Internet Society (ISOC)   www.isoc.org

> Here is an introduction to this year's event:
>
>     OneWebDay 2008 falls on a Monday this year. It's not too soon
>     to start planning what you're going to do to recognize
>     OneWebDay in September.
>
>     The idea behind OneWebDay is to recognize the threats to the
>     Internet around the world - and to do something about them.
>
>     We want to make sure that people all across the globe expect
>     that they will have access to the Internet that isn't
>     controlled by gatekeepers of various kinds - network
>     providers and many other actors - and we want people to help
>     each other learn how to contribute to our Internet. The
>     Internet is us, not some collection of machines.
>
>     This double goal (recognize threats, do something about them)
>     can be met in all kinds of ways. The point is to have the
>     recognition of OneWebDay be visible, online and off. Getting
>     together in a public place to talk about the future of the
>     Internet is one way. Getting together to increase
>     connectivity in an underserved place is another. Helping
>     older people get online and learn how to use online
>     applications is yet a third way.
>
>     This is a very decentralized event. We have seen OneWebDay
>     events take place in dozens of countries around the globe,
>     and we're just beginning. You're in charge - OneWebDay is all
>     yours.
