4th Council of Members, Aberdeen House, Kigali, Rwanda, 23rd April 2010

The Chairperson of UbuntuNet Alliance, Professor Zimani Kadzamira is pleased to announce that the 4th Council of Members Meeting of UbuntuNet Alliance will take place on the 23rd of April 2010 in the Rwandan capital, Kigali at the Aberdeen House. As is the custom, the event will be preceded by a number of events including the 1st ERINA4Africa Workshop. The events will be proudly hosted by the Rwanda Education Network (RwEdNet).

The Council of Members is the supreme policy organ of the Alliance. Each Member NREN of UbuntuNet Alliance, formally designated as a REN Participant in the Articles, is entitled to nominate one person as its Representative Member to the Council of Members. It is desirable – but not mandatory – that the Representative Member is the CEO (Vice-Chancellor, Rector, or President) of one of the member institutions of the NREN so that there is a direct linkage between the policy level of the Alliance and the policy level of the member institutions of the NRENs.

The programme of events is as follows:
