Hi All,

Adel made an initial announcement on the Work Group mailing list, which many
of you would have missed. The short story is that I will be helping him to
scope and draw together projects that will form part of the three year
African localisation project.

Attached is my initial work to whittle down, refine and add to the list of
projects generated in Marrakesh. The list is classified in various ways and
has potential outcomes listed.

There are tentative project leads / leaders for a few of the projects. This
is not cast in stone but does indicate some of my thinking. If you are happy
to take the lead on a project where you do see your name then that is great.
If not, just tell me or, if you think you'd be a better lead, also tell me.

The time frame on this work is very very very VERY tight. So please commit
whole heartedly. To make it clear, I am not writing proposals so they will
not magically appear (I will of course be involved in those that I'm leading
or participating in). We need to finish the proposals by the end of October,
allowing November for IDRC review, and December for contracting.


My current workplan is as follows:

1) Get concept proposal generated for initial projects completed by Friday,
latest Monday.

2) Work with project leads from Monday to refine the concepts and begin
writing the proposal (I won't write but will review). A first draft needs to
be complete by end of next week.

3) Project leads engage with partners to complete the proposal by end Oct.

So now you see how tight it really is :)


How you can help me:

1) Take ownership of a project

2) Give quick feedback to the attached list (additions, removals, projects
you'd like to be involved in, etc)

If you have any questions please ask.

Thanks :)
