[Nren-cmos] NREN Communicators Loop - Maiden Zoom Meeting

[Effah Amponsah]

First, thank you all once again for attending and contributing to the 
discussion during the meeting.

A few meeting notes below:

1. WACREN Support for NRENs
Effah shared details of the support. That it's in line with activities 
under AfricaConnect3 - https://africaconnect3.net, the project being 
implemented by WACREN in the region. The project requires WACREN to 
support at least 2 NRENs per year, until 2023.

WACREN advanced discussions with GARNET, NgREN and Eko-Konnect. Owing to 
the pandemic, priorities changed so the activity was not delivered. 
NRENs who showed interest last year can access the support - advisory, 
resource sharing, technical and capacity building.

Effah emphasised that the support is not paid-for by NRENs; it's for 
free. Also, WACREN will not be in charge of NRENs tools or resources, 
except requested by the NRENs. WACREN's support is purely advising and 
assistance.

All NRENs are at liberty to show interest in the support.


2. Marcomms workshop at WACREN 2021
Effah announced that there will be a marcomms workshop for all NRENs in 
the region and beyond. Workshop agenda and other details will be shared 
soon. Facilitators are being invited from Africa and other parts of the 
World.


3. WACREN 2021 comms update
Effah announced that registration will be opened soon (this week). He 
urged all members to disseminate the mails and other visuals that will 
be shared to create visibility for the Conference.

Effah urged all members to actively participate in discussions on 
WhatsApp and mailing list, as there are going to be more activities in 
the coming days.

3 NRENs attended the meeting - RerBenin, Eko-Konnect and NgREN.

Action points:
1. Effah will share Conference update with members for onward 
dissemination
2. Effah to share details on Marcomms Workshop with all
3. Effah to revive discussions on comms support with all NRENs who have 
shown interest.

If I left anything out, please mention.

Thanks
