The group last met in The Hague in January 2007. Since then, an elected executive committee has worked towards:

  • In 2007/2008: Moving the dgroups 1 platform out of IDRC (to IGLOO)
  •  In 2008-2009: Migration to a new platform and a new provider (WA Research)
  •  In 2008-2009: Establishment of a new Dgroups Foundation

On the agenda for the April 2009 meeting:

  1. the new platform, its usability, hosting, and support provisions
  2. priorities for further platform development and enhancements
  3. election to the Foundation Board, discharging the current executive committee
  4.  strategic directions for the coming years
  5. management, coordination, financing arrangements for the coming years

The meeting is organised by Euforic in its overall coordinationrole for the partnership. More information.

After early years incubated by Bellanet/IDRC as a project, Dgroups members decided that a legal entity was needed at the heart of the partnership.

The intention is to keep the Foundation small and smart: It will have a Board elected from members of the partnership. More operational activities like platform hosting, support, and communication among the members will be contracted to others.

The next meeting of the Dgroups partnership is in April 2009 where some important further governance and strategic decisions will be taken.

Organizations interested in joining Dgroups can find more information online. We welcome any non-governmental, governmental and inter-governmental bodies and any other type of organization that shares the objectives of the Foundation.
