[Latin-America] Global Network Weekly #49

[Simeon Oriko]

Happy Friday friends! 👋🏾

I reached out to a few countries this week inviting them to formally
organize themselves into chapters
<https://github.com/creativecommons/global-network-strategy/blob/master/docs/Guide_for_creating_a_chapter.md>.
Many are doing so and below is a list of countries that will be hosting the
first Chapter meeting very soon:

   - *Bangladesh*: 23rd June 2018, 3 pm at Plaza AR, Sobhanbag (near
   sobhanbag mosque), Dhanmondi, Dhaka.
   - *Ghana*: 28th July 2018
   - *Taiwan*: 30th June 2018
   - *United Kingdom*: 30th June 2018, 1 pm

Many other countries are hosting informal meetups/consultations soon to
discuss the formal chapter organization process in their countries. They
are:

   - Bulgaria
   - Kenya
   - Chile
   - Jordan
   - Nepal
   - Egypt
   - Tanzania
   - India
   - Nigeria
   - Argentina

Are you aware of plans to form a CC Chapter in your country? If not, please
reach out to me and I'll put you in touch with local organizing teams.

2 Chapters have so far had their first meeting and elected their officials
(Hooray!) They are as follows:

   - *CC Australia*
   - *Public Lead*: Nicolas Suzor
      - *Representative to the Global Network Council*: Jessica Stevens
   - *CC Ecuador*
      - *Public Lead: *Sara Bolaños
      - *Representative to the Global Network Council: *Andrés Delgado-Ron

Congratulations to these teams!

Many more chapters need to be set up! Game on good people of the commons!

'Til next Friday!
