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.

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

Just saw a terrible typo: in fiormonte's name.
I'm attaching a new version if it isn't too late.

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.
