[AFRI-Discuss] Internet South Africa - *new* introduction

[varsha sewlal]

Dear Adri
Kindly advise on how the membership and community input will work? How will the activities be coordinated with the split or is it that they are not meant to be coordinated. 
 Are there minutes of the meeting that discussed the decision to divide responsibilities? This may create greater clarity as to the new roles and responsibilities.
Warm Regards

Sincerely

 Good morning Barack, Mary and Wisdom
Forgive me for taking a day to respond, but I wanted to choose my words carefully.
During the last AGM meeting of ISOC ZA the need was expressed for certain members to only focus on local Internet Policy needs and regulations.The requirements from ISOC Global however, while not many, however detract from the time that these members would like to spend on these needs.
The decision was made to split ISOC ZA into two entities: ISOC ZA would focus on Local initiatives and keep their name as it is recognised in Parliament, and Internet South Africa, which would steer the mission of ISOC Global and the continent.It is important to note that the split is more a devision of labour and focus so that the needs of everyone can be met.
If this means that you would like to treat Internet South Africa as a new ALS, that is OK, but I wouldn't see why as nothing has really changed aside from our name.
Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kind regardsAdri Loubser

Dear Adri,

Welcome on board. could you clarify what you mean by the term split? is Internet South Africa a separate legal entity from ISOC ZA?, If that is the case and with the guidance of the Chair, i am curious to know whether such a scenario warrants a new registration as an ALS. 

Regards

Hi Tijani
As per Alan's email,  ISOC ZA has recently split into two where "ISOC ZA" takes care of local activities and "Internet South Africa" takes care of Chapter activities.It's a little confusing at the start, but you'll soon get used to it.
But to answer your question, I am your contact replacing Alan, yes, just operating under a slightly different name of Internet South Africa.
Please add Theo and myself to the AFRALO mailing list.Also, if there is any recommended reading that would help get us up to speed, please let me know.
Kind regardsAdri

Dear Friends and Colleagues, I do hope this email finds you all well. It has been a while and I have a grey beard :)  There seem to be many mailing lists I would appreciate your guidance. The Internet Society placed us a good predicament and we have split ISOC-ZA  local activities from the chapter activities. I consider the RALO as the chapter activity so this is now called Internet South Africa - accepted as the Internet Society chapter of South Africa. The new Internet South Africa Board includes the following volunteers, Adri Loubser - Chairperson  <adri.baard at gmail.com>Theo Maseloanyane - Board Member <MSLTHE006 at myuct.ac.za> They have read the rules and promise to attend your telecon :) Please assist to guide them to get added.  I believe they will both make excellent ambassadors for South Africa.  Thank you Mohamed El Bashir for your amazing service through think and thin :) Sincerely  Alan Levin  --
