<div dir="ltr">Hi friends! 👋🏽<div><br></div><div>Last week we opened registration to join the <a href="http://network.creativecommons.org">CC Network</a>. I'm curious to hear from you: how was the experience signing up? We had a few people email us with a few issues but nothing major.</div><div><br></div><div>*****</div><div><br></div><div>This week we also sent out scholarship offers to a number of you who applied. I'm looking forward to meeting as many of you in person at the upcoming <a href="https://summit.creativecommons.org/">CC Global Summit</a>.</div><div><br></div><div>*****</div><div><br></div><div>I spoke with the CC Argentina team this week about their recent activities and their plans for the future. Like many Chapters around the world, they're trying to figure out how to structure themselves and take advantage of the Network infrastructure to better achieve their goals and projects. This conversation (and many others like it) prompted me to submit a session for the Summit aimed at helping people understand the Network Infrastructure and how to develop their chapters.</div><div><br></div><div>I also submitted a number of sessions for the summit this week (I hope you got yours in before the deadline):</div><div><ul><li><b>CC Newbies Breakfast</b> - a very fun opportunity for newbies to make connections and learn more about CC and how to navigate the Summit<br></li><li><b>Community Development Platform Session</b> - To <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KaqPonAvmtocxV27qqbQ7YEBBDWr-VVOodHW3f98eSU/edit?usp=sharing">develop</a> the Community Development Platform<br></li><li><b>Community Activities Fund: It's Impact and it's Future</b> - Hear from grantees and an opportunity to shape the future of the fund<br></li><li><b>CC Chapter Governance and Community Building</b> - this is what I was referring to up there 👆🏽<b><br></b></li><li><b>Dear Network Manager…</b> - Basically, tell me how I'm doing and how I can better support the Network<br></li></ul><div>I don't intend to run these sessions on my own. If you're interested in tagging along, please let me know. A few reached out about the Newbies Breakfast and I'll be contacting you next week to share ideas and build out the session.</div></div><div><br></div><div>Anyone submit any interesting sessions they need help with? Happy to make connections if you're looking to collaborate.</div><div><br></div><div>'Til next Friday y'all!</div><div><br></div><div>Kind Regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Simeon Oriko</div><div><br></div><div><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><font color="#999999" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Simeon Oriko </font></div><div dir="ltr"><font color="#999999" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Network Manager, Creative Commons</font></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div></div><div dir="ltr"><font color="#999999" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Invest in an open future.
