>>
>>
>>
>> Strengthening Community Governance is one of their focus areas:
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>    - Organizing community workshops to discuss governance needs and
>>    (re)design governance structures.
>>
>>
>>    - Convene a dedicated committee/working group of key stakeholders to
>>    lead work on diversifying governance.
>>
>>
>>    - Work on improving governance processes, e.g. reviewing and evolving
>>    bylaws and other policies.
>>
>>
>>
>> The deadline is just around the corner, but I would be happy to work with
>> somebody on the Strategic Planning Committee/Board to pull something
>> together if you think it's worth a shot.

>> Dear Kathy,
>>
>> In May, the IOI team launched calls for proposals for the Open
>> Infrastructure Fund.
>> <https://investinopen.civicrm.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=989&qid=7899>
>> The Fund aims to strengthen sustainability and resilience and increase the
>> adoption of open infrastructure worldwide. Our community co-designed the
>> Fund through a series of participatory activities, which increased the
>> accessibility of funding and helped pilot a more transparent way of funding
>> open infrastructure. The application deadline is July 31, 2023, so if
>> interested, make sure to submit your proposal before then.
>>
>> In June, we also held our second in-person workshop in Africa, adjacent
>> to Open Repositories 2023. The workshop was a multi-sectoral forum to
>> understand how best to synergise the public and private sectors to commit
>> additional resources for African research infrastructure. We have
>> summarised the key points in a blog post
>> <https://investinopen.civicrm.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=990&qid=7899>
>> that we hope you will find insightful.
>>
>> Internally, the IOI team has also been growing, with two new members
>> joining in May and additional team members joining in the next few weeks.
>> We have also been doing some strategic realignment to ensure that we are
>> responsive to the community we serve and put in place the required
>> processes and systems to be more efficient.
>>
>> For more on these stories and more, please dive into the newsletter. We
>> are always interested in comments or suggestions from our community -
>> please drop us a line if you’d like to share any insights with us.

>> *Call for proposals for IOI Open Infrastructure fund closes on July 31*
>>
>> IOI's core objective is to improve funding and resourcing for open
>> technologies and systems for research and scholarship. In May, we launched
>> the call for proposals for the Open Infrastructure Fund, an initiative to
>> strengthen sustainability and resilience and increase the adoption of open
>> infrastructure globally. Funding of 5,000-25,000 USD is available to
>> support projects with capacity building, governance, and critical shared
>> infrastructure as their focal areas. 60% of the grant funding has been
>> reserved for Low and Middle-Income Economies as part of our resolve to
>> bridge resourcing inequities. The deadline for applications is July 31,
>> 2023. Read our blog posts (English

>> *Open access ‘at any cost’ cannot support scholarly publishing

>>
>> Our Executive Director, Kaitlin Thaney, has penned an op-ed in the LSE
>> Impact Blog
>> <https://investinopen.civicrm.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=994&qid=7899>
>> that calls upon entities profiting from open research to actively reinvest
>> in the communities and infrastructures that contribute to the sustenance of
>> their businesses. The article highlights the need for more resolute and
>> clear terms for what “reasonable cost” means to achieve the aims of open
>> access and research.

>> *Recap of IOI workshop on sustainable research infrastructure in Africa*
>>
>> In June, we facilitated an in-person workshop in Somerset West, South
>> Africa that focused on exploring how public-private partnerships (PPPs) can
>> contribute to sustainable research infrastructures on the continent. This
>> discussion was precipitated by our workshop in Accra, Ghana in March
>> <https://investinopen.civicrm.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=995&qid=7899>
>> where PPPs were suggested as a potential remedy to enhancing the
>> sustainability of open research infrastructures. We invited a range of
>> actors from the private sector, governments, and academia to explore how we
>> can synergize between the private and public sectors to come up with
>> sustainable models for investing in research infrastructure. We summarized
>> the key learnings from the workshop on the IOI website.

>> <https://investinopen.civicrm.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=996&qid=7899>
>> last year. The report highlights key findings on the critical dimensions

>> <https://investinopen.civicrm.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=997&qid=7899>
