Hi all, I appreciated everyone's pitches for the co-chair vacancy and think all three would do a good job. After some thought, I support Sasha Romijn for co-chair, based on the ideas and plans she outlined in her talk.

First of all thanks to all the candidates for stepping up - it’s great to see many volunteers willing to contribute to the WG’s work! I would like to express my support for Christian whom I know since many years as a skilled and creative mind who’s building innovative network solutions since many years and has the ability to think out of the box. - Peter > Dear all, > > as explained today during the working group session, three people have > volunteered to fill the one open co-chair vacancy.

This could be of interest to you or even help your friends to finance their work and development. Project funding available varies from 5,000 to 50,000 euros (with the possibility to scale them up if there is proven potential) Full summary is here: https://www.apc.org/en/news/open-calls-free-software-hardware-and-data-acti… A consortium of 12 non-profit organisations is involved in managing the NGI zero program. https://nlnet.nl/entrust/background/#organisation 2 Tracks: + NGI Zero Entrust: Trustworthiness and data sovereignty https://nlnet.nl/entrust/guideforapplicants/ + NGI Zero Core: Moving the internet forward https://nlnet.nl/core/guideforapplicants You don't need to reveal your real name prior to the project being granted.

If you are based outside the European Union and still have doubts, please write to hvale(a)apc.org As well as funding from donations, there is specific support (technical, safety, accessibility, licensing, etc.) for the projects selected. Also, if you'd like to talk about it with me, I'd be delighted ;-) For example: https://www.apc.org/en/pubs/feminist-principles-internet-version-20 Maybe see you in Brussels, Feb. 2024 Warm regards, -- Xavier Coadic Association for Progressive Communications Communications associate for NGI Zero initiative
