Subject: OSI regional meeting

Greetings colleagues,

As Glenn informed earlier, there is an opportunity for some of us to meet in Tunis in early December to discuss OSI issues relevant to Africa and the Arab world. You may all know that many countries in this group  still face a travel ban to the US. 

We  also plan to organize a south-south partnership meeting on OA. Tentative dates for this 3-day meeting are between 4th-11th of December ( we are waiting to obtain a mandatory security clearances to freeze the  dates). 

Thank you and regards,

Bhanu

Hi Everyone,

 

I am pleased to attach a first draft of the final report for OSI2017, covering not only the conference itself but all of the work that has gone into OSI between the end of OSI2016 and now.

 

The key message is this: After reading through all the OSI2016 and OSI2017 papers, and combining this with OSI listserv activity and other inputs, there’s a well-defined course that leads us from where we are now to where this group wants to be. This is a course we can afford, and which will exact the maximum impact on the issues you have said are the most important, using the solutions you see as being the most effective. Specifically (as noted in the “Recommendations for 4Q17-2Q18” section of this report), OSI should focus on three main actions starting as soon as possible:

 

1. Outreach, marketing and advocacy efforts—first on behalf of the most salient issues (as noted in the report) and then spreading to other issues as time and resources permit
2. Building a resource base focusing on the most salient issues and then spreading to other issues as time and resources permit, and
3. Building coordination and collaboration efforts, again primarily for the most salient issues for now but spreading later.

 

The broad outlines of a more specific to-do list will be discussed with the summit group and presented to the full OSI group in a few weeks. In the meantime, I encourage everyone to read at least the first 34 pages of this 192 page novel and send me your feedback, comments and corrections---especially with regard to whether your workgroup and stakeholder group reports have been accurately summarized. Please note as well that included in the Annex section of this report are all the manuscripts from the OSI2017 workgroups and stakeholder groups. We are expecting these reports to be published by Mason Press at any time now, but until then, they’re included here for your reference.

 

Thank you and all the best,

 

Glenn
