Making inputs on 2011-12 activity  of existing active groups  with existing budgets


Dear all, this is the period of the year when we need to start planning for the next one, while we struggle to work through the remaining events of 2010 and the preparation for Dakar. The Resource commission - through Nicolas who is in charge to work on the fundraising plan - is asking each commission to send their proposal in terms of budget necessities (see his message below).  This time it will be for the next two years.  We have a close deadline for the proposal on the 10th of september.  But I think we can work on specific parts later. As we plan for the post-Dakar - I think we should start by looking at what we have, in terms of existing tools and working groups, and how to consolidate it - as well as taking into account all the suggestions which emerged in the last IC meeting.  I see 4 main focuses of our work for the future:

Group -  social forum expanded

[start of Pierre input ]  Note : scope of the group is to facilitate access to participatory situation during events to people /groups who are not physically present in the event center , and facilitate development of  distance intercomunication between local groups ( which  comes generally  through "training" done in the occasion of distance participation to events )

Next two years after dakar  are spanning until the next central WSF event , in the middle many significant events forming the basis for wsf2011 and wsf2012 processes


Tasks here can be of several nature

1/ Continuing to spread organizing experience about expanding events among organizing committees of significant events throughout wsf process  , as is being done in wsf2010 process  and developing a sense of conveying to a next event the “outcomes” of an earlier event, through self organized distance inter-communication between groups participating in those events  ( this has to do also with the notion of outcome /proposal )


2/ Continuing to facilitate exchange of experience in direct distance intercommunication and promote emerging formulas well adapted to social forum situations ( eg extended assemblies . extended proposal/outcome ...) -The goal is to foster autonomy of usage among groups involved in WSF so they can develop autonomously their distance relationships, and extensions of their local activities to a worldwide scale


3/ Developing with interested independent radios, the role radio can play in helping organisations willing to "extend" participation in their activities to provide some direct distance participation possibilities to more people with live radio broadcast of the activity and a cell phone/SMS feedback loop , since those media reach "where internet does not reach "


4/ Promoting , and if necessary supporting, development of some feature for free software tools of live intercommunication , providing features equivalent to widely used commercial sites such as www.skype.com, and www.ustream.tv - and making them friendly to the usages developed inside WSF context  - and providing access to such sites
