First and foremost is our *Q1 Community Forum <http://www.internetsociety.org/events/isoc-q1-community-forum-2016>* on Wednesday, where *Kathy Brown* will define 2016 as the *Year of Member Action*, and there will be briefings by top ISOC staff as toward what issues that action might be directed. Of course some actions cost money, so on Thursday there will be two *Beyond the Net Info Sessions <https://www.internetsociety.org/form/fund-your-idea-beyond-net-information-session>*, which will educate on the processes by which Chapter and Member Projects can be funded. On Tuesday our *GIP* colleagues will provide their monthly *Digital Watch Internet Governance Update <http://digitalwatch.giplatform.org/events/briefing-internet-governance-january-2016>*, looking forward at 2016. On Wednesday and Thursday they will mount a major conference on e-Participation - *Geneva Engage <http://genevaengage.diplomacy.edu/>* - focusing on the practicalities of running connected events, and ISOC's own *Todd Tolbert *will weigh in with lessons learned from the production of ISOC's massive *InterCommunity <https://www.internetsociety.org/intercommunity2015/home>* event in 2015. New online tools are changing online collaboration for the better. Already ISOC has adopted *Zoom <http://zoom.us>* as its conference platform of choice. Many of us are also using *Slack <http://slack.com>* within our teams. So lastly, on Thursday, for those interested in seeing how far such tools can take us, there will be a big *OpenGov & CivicTech Online Unconference <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2016-opengov-civictech-online-unconference-tickets-20428926469>* using both Slack and Zoom, and also *QiqoChat <http://qiqochat.com/>*. *Tue Jan 26 2016* *07:00 EST/12:00 UTC - GIP Briefing Internet governance in January 2016* * http://digitalwatch.giplatform.org/events/briefing-internet-governance-janua... <http://digitalwatch.giplatform.org/events/briefing-internet-governance-january-2016>* *Wed Jan 27 2016* *5:30-12:00 EST / 12:30-17:00 - UTC Geneva Engage: E-participation for International Geneva (Day 1)* * http://genevaengage.diplomacy.edu/ <http://genevaengage.diplomacy.edu/>* * (including ISOC's Todd Tolbert at 11:40 EST / 14:40 UTC)* *10:00-11:30 EST / 15:00-16:30 UTC - ISOC Q1 Community Forum* * http://www.internetsociety.org/events/isoc-q1-community-forum-2016 <http://www.internetsociety.org/events/isoc-q1-community-forum-2016>* *Thu Jan 28 2016* *03:00-12:00 EST / 08:00-17:00 UTC - Geneva Engage: E-participation for International Geneva (Day 2)* * http://genevaengage.diplomacy.edu/ <http://genevaengage.diplomacy.edu/>* *04:30 EST / 11:30 UTC - Beyond the Net Info Session 1* * https://www.internetsociety.org/form/fund-your-idea-beyond-net-information-s... <https://www.internetsociety.org/form/fund-your-idea-beyond-net-information-session>* *11:00-14:00 EST / 16:00-19:00 UTC 2016 - OpenGov & CivicTech Online Unconference* * https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2016-opengov-civictech-online-unconference-tick... <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2016-opengov-civictech-online-unconference-tickets-20428926469>* *14:00 EST / 19:00 UTC - Beyond the Net Info Session 2* * https://www.internetsociety.org/form/fund-your-idea-beyond-net-information-s... <https://www.internetsociety.org/form/fund-your-idea-beyond-net-information-session>* Comment <http://isoc-ny.org/p2/8287#respond> See all comments <http://isoc-ny.org/p2/8287#comments> *Permalink* http://isoc-ny.org/p2/8287 -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast -------------------------------------------------------------- -
