[Adminsysters] seize your beautiful voice for our Shortlisted Community Networks & Community Infrastructure crew

[Nancy Mauro-Flude]

Dear peers, kith and kin,

The future is *now*.

Our Community Networks & Community Infrastructure  proposal to the 
Internet Society (ISOC) has been shortlisted.

As we gear up for the next cycle of the Internet Society (ISOC) 
2026-2027 Special Interest Group (SIG) Topic at the forthcoming 
Selection Process on 16 October 00:00-0130 UTC
[info] 
https://isoc.zoom.us/meeting/register/6M5fb319RmKZMiKVzLgD7w#/registration

I am compelled to reach out and voice to how critical your support, 
participation and/or vote is in the upcoming selection process, in order 
to formalise Community Networks & Community Infrastructure SIG at ISOC 
for the forthcoming years.

Amidst the burning backdrop of the unarguable epic fail of 
business-as-usual, it is time to converge and gain a foot more broadly 
in the conversation and application of community led Internet 
Infrastructures, which are great jeopardy from the relentless 
catastrophes and uninformed trespass of neocolonial FAANGz
(mindful of a bio-eco-socio-techno rant to the converted excuse brevity 
)..

"Many of our initiatives are like individual sticks — valuable together 
but vulnerable standing alone. When we come together under a shared roof 
— a structure like the Internet Society — we form something stronger, 
more visible, and harder to break."


How You Can Support:
-* If you are not already become an individual member of the Internet 
Society (ISOC). Free!

SIG.

Let's make Community led Networks and Infrastructure a more impactful 
voice for Internet freedom.
