Dear Joly, Thanks for the guidance. Much appreciated. For the collaboration bit I can propose something like Many Moons - quite effective but requires a Gmail account which many of us have. I think this will be better way to share documents and editorials on them.

I think the proposal you referred to is here: http://orion.my.co.ke/pipermail/isoc/2011-August/000038.html and it is a good one. I'd like to ask the group if you have considered some kind of communal platform for summarizing progress? At ISOC-NY we've traditionally used MediaWiki, but Google docs is becoming more common. j On Thu, Aug 4, 2011 at 12:56 AM, Davis Onsakia <mautidavis@yahoo.com> wrote: Dear Barack,
Can we have a better way of organizing the mail list? Currently, we have to really scroll through a long mail list to get the messages in them ( with some emails repeated many times) - this means that you can miss some important information in some mails.
I propose that since we have quorum (76 is a good number - may be some people had not seen this) we can start the chapter formation process. I remember seeing a mail about this and the proposed structure for discussion - which was supposed to end tomorrow. Can we pick up from that proposal? For me that will be a good starting point. Regards and many thanks, Davis M Onsakia
