[Chapter-delegates] OneWebDay videos, Broadband comes to Harlem, Open Video Conference

[Joly MacFie]

Hi Siva,

70 invitees! Sounds great.

Look forward to the pix.

I know you were very involved with building the Core Values Dynamic
Coalition at IGF in the days leading up. Expecting to hear more about that.

What I think we have successfully managed to do, in the short time
available, is to prove that OneWebDay can stand on its own two feet, and is
a popular and valuable concept that should be maintained.

As you know, the OneWebDay Inc board is planning to terminate the
organization at it's next meeting. While it is not absolutely necessary to
maintain that corporation to continue the tradition - closing it would
appear to be a waste of resources. It has been suggested there are
legal/fiscal reasons for soing so but they are yet to be delineated despite
repeated requests. We did agree to postpone discussions until after the 2010
event, but soon we will have to again bring some pressure. I will draft a
letter to the board that we can all sign.
