Learning/Social Network Proposal for ALAC communities
by Moataz Shaarawy 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

Dear ALAC Members, During the 37 ICANN meeting when I attend the ALAC & Regional Leadership working session, I found two problems facing the ALAC work. *First *one about many emails we received from the ALAC and the different themes we have to discuss to improve our ALAC and understand each other to get ideas and opinions. *Second *the last presentation about the important of end user capacity building programs in ALAC work, and the important of social networking to collaborate and discuss in an interactive and organized area. For the two important issues above, I found that we must have a strong social learning network for ALAC to inform many of end user about ICANN ALAC work, and in the same time make our communication more easy and interactive. I discussed with my developers team in Ofok about the possibility of developing an interactive Social/Learning network and LMS for ICANN Atlarge communities, Ofok developers team very interesting to work in this issues by developing an interactive social and learning network for the ALAC, and Ofok will be the sponsor for the site hosting and all technical tools. *Attached Ofok Developers team technical proposal "Learning/Social Network for ALAC communities".* Wait for your comments and feedback. Best regards, Moataz Shaarawy Ofok Systems CIO / Ofok NGO Secretary General Address: 26 Adn st, off shehab st, Giza Egypt Office phone: +202-37490940 / Cell phone: +202- 0105242945 / Fax: +202 3748 8493 Email:Moataz@ofoksystems.com <Email%3AMoataz(a)ofoksystems.com> / Ofokngo(a)ofoksystems.com URL: http:www.ofoksystems.com / OHNet: http://ohnet.ofokngo.org / eAcademy; http://eacad.ofoksystems.com Ofok is Tree free.
