*Dear Friends,During Indaba 2018 in Tunisia, there was an announcement of
setting up a steering committee for the organisation of Indaba. The role of
the steering committee is to create a well-defined process for the
selection of future hosts of Indaba and supporting the Local Organising
Committee (LOC) in the preparation towards the conference.This thought was
carried to the African Meet Up at the Wikimedia Conference, where the issue
was deliberated and a proposed structure of the steering committee was
worked on. We wish to share this document
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NoQFHPdvrQeF6_C9K_M14CIlRdqwaE1_J9_B7XyYU5U/edit>
to invite your contribution (suggestions and comments) on improving the
structure.[1]The current structure proposes membership/representation from
previous organisers of the conference, 3 volunteers slot (for anybody who
is willing to support the cause of Indaba), 2 liaisons from the Wikimedia
Foundation and a designated representative from the current Local
Organising Committee (LOC). At the moment the steering committee consists
of the representatives of previous organisers and we are looking to fill
the 3 volunteers slot. The steering committee will open a call for
interested volunteers soon. We are also working on a Meta page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Indaba> for Indaba and related
activities, we encourage you to visit it when you have the
opportunity.[2]On behalf of the steering committee,*--
