  1. How will you make sure everyone is invited?
    We will ensure that members of the community are invited through frequent reminders via the GOI foundation’s various social media outlets which include whatsapp, twitter, facebook and instagram. Text messages will also be sent to community members who may not be active on social media. Phone calls will also be made to participants a day to the meeting and records will be taken of those who will be able to make it for the meeting and those who will not, so excerpts of the meeting can be sent to those who may not be able to make it for reasons beyond their control. We will reach out to our partners through email, calls and whatsapp messages as well.
  2. How will you document community discussion(s) and feedback related to movement strategy? Who will be responsible for documenting these discussions?
    Community discussions will be documented in minutes and in a report on meta by Nana Yaa, a member of the Global Open Initiative Foundation team. Nana Yaa who has a background in journalism has been taking meeting notes for our community meetups.
  3. What is your facilitation plan to support productive discussions around movement strategy? Please also provide a link to a Friendly Space Policy that will be implemented to support these discussions.
    Zita Ursula Zage, the Executive Director of Global Open Initiative, and the projects coordinator, Emmanuel Yeboah will be leading the conversations. These two have been continuously involved with the movement strategy discussions both offline in our local community and at Wikimania and online, the most recent one they participated in was the West African Strategy Meetup. We will hold two meetups, in the first meeting, we will explain the 10 recommendations to our partners and community members and then open the floor for questions and discussions. Then after, we will send a survey enquiring from our community which two recommendations to focus on and why. The next meetup will be to discuss what steps we can take with regards to the two recommendations chosen.
