Hi Zeineb,
Thanks for sharing this information. However, I do have some questions and comments. I have listed them below.
1. You wrote "Support Wikimedians within The African continent who wants to run Wikimedia projects but don't know where to start or how to go about doing that, as well as finding out about the progress of projects run by Wikimedians within the African continent and diaspora" How is this related to Indaba? I believe an Indaba steering committee should primarily focus on the business of Indaba which is the African regional conference.
2. While I do agree on the need to support individuals that one to run Wikimedia projects in their countries, I do not think we need a committee to do that, even if we do, I don't think Indaba steering committee should be the one to handle this. This appears to be out of scope.
3. "Finding out about the progress of projects runs by Wikimedians in Africa and diaspora " is a go thing, I also think this is out of scope for Indaba steering committee " Reports/Progress reports are often published on Meta Wiki for everyone to see and people are welcome to contact project coordinator if there is a capacity in which they which to help. I do not think we need a committee to do that and if we must have a committee, I don't think Indaba Steering Committee is the appropriate committee to do that.
4. In your page you wrote "Management of scholarships application and awarding process " In 2017, I proposed here "Indaba Scholarship Committee " like "Wikimania Scholarship Committee" but it does appeared that the LOC with support of the WMF handled the process. Thus, it might be a good idea to have a separate body like the one proposed above, WMF and LOC to handle this process.
I do think the roles of this steering committee are overstretched and we do need to avoid unnecessary bureaucracy.
Regards,
Isaac
