Hi Dan, I just wanted to congratulate the team on a job well-done. Considering the situation, I think the rhetoric is as good as it will get for a while until a clearer global picture begins to emerge. I look forward in the years ahead to be a part of this initiative.

Best to all,
A.

Just saw a terrible typo: in fiormonte's name.

I'm attaching a new version if it isn't too late.

Thanks, Dan, and everyone! I'll share this with the ADHO SC and ask for
its approval after a week of discussion.

Best,
Neil

    Hi Neil (cc'd the rest of the group),

    Here is another revision, incorporating the suggestions you'd made
    about governance and trying to incorporate the points about tone and
    rhetoric raised by Alex, Oyvind, and in the hallways here, Titi.
    Because the disconnect between networks in these different
    geographic and economic regions is so strong, and because ADHO is so
    closely aligned (at the moment) with the networks in the high income
    world, it is difficult to avoid rhetoric that smacks of
    neocolonialism. In this revision, I've tried to indicate that this
    is an attempt to broaden ADHO rather than co-opt other people.

    That being said, it is probably in the end impossible to come up
    with a way of describing the current situation that does not run
    into this problem. So at a certain point we probably have to say
    we've done our best and move on to praxis.

    I've worked with this so often, I am not seeing typos any more. If
    anybody does, please pass them back to me. I believe unless my
    changes are stupider than I think, it is otherwise ready to go to
    the SC.
