<DIV>Thanks Paul for that information – it is good to know that this list and
the archive are being looked after. They are an interesting piece of history. It
is also good to know that there is a mailing list here with over 600 subscribers
who may be interested in any future activity building on the original Netmundial
meeting.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There seems to be some interested in a Netmundial+5 event in 2019, but no
specific plans at this stage. This could range from a full blown independent
conference to perhaps a half day meeting just before IGF2019 – so there are ways
to do something useful if specific funding for a larger gathering is not
available or if there is no widespread interest in a larger event.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My suggestion is that a steering committee be set up specifically to look
at options for such an event. I think a new committee is necessary: both the
original 1net committee and the committee from the NMI are both dormant, and I
think should remain so. A new group to work on Netmundial+5 should be estabished
– they can report regularly to this list on progress, and for wider feedback on
meeting possibilities and possible agendas. That I think would be a good
path forward: we can establish a second mailing list for a steering group if
people think this is a good idea. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What do others think? If there is sufficient interest now is probably the
time to start thinking abut a 2019 event.</DIV>

<P>Dear colleagues,</P>
<P>It’s nice to see this small flurry of activity on the 1net “discuss” list.
APNIC has been hosting this list and its archive for a while, and have wondered
from time to time about its future.</P>
<P>Now there are new questions about closing the list, and also about a renewed
purpose, and also whether the relations between 1net and the Net Mundial
Initiative (NMI) or the NetMundial meeting could still be relevant and
useful.</P>
<P>Right now there are 637 subscribers to the list and no signs of people
unsubscribing. Back in December 2013, at the height of 1net discussions, there
were 566 subscribers. So there’s certainly a comunity here!</P>
<P>APNIC has no particular position on the future of 1net but we can host the
list and the archive for as long as that is useful. And we will follow the
discussion with interest.</P>
<P>BTW for those interested, the archive is here:</P>
