Thanks very much, Ravi and all the community members who are participating
in this process, both virtually and in Bangalore. I look forward to meeting
and learning from you all.
Two important pieces of additional information:
* *Please rsvp your participation by noon on Friday September 19* so that
we can confirm travel and lodging as soon as possible. If any of you are
nominated, but uncertain about your attendance, do let us know as well, so
we can support you as you need.
* As requested, we will put up a draft agenda over the next few days, so
that we can design the meeting together. We have asked the facilitator to
work with us on this, as requested by some community members.
** Overall, the agenda for the meeting is likely to cover these issues:
-
Introductions, expectations, ground rules
-
SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis and
sharing stories of individual contributors, diverse language communities
and projects
-
SWOT for India and Indic languages across South Asia
-
Visioning for the movement in India
-
Strategies and action plans for the movement going forward (next six
months, next year, next two years)
- Roles, responsibilities and rules of engagement between the different
actors in India
However, as different language communities mobilise to offer their thoughts
(thanks very much, Ravi!), we'll obviously work with all your suggestions.
Here's to a productive conversation,
Anasuya
