Because of this, ISOC Gambia competitively drew and selected participants from various Ministries, Universities and the Regulator. Also we had some Four other Participants from Senegal, NIC (.SN), the University and SENCHIX. This brought the number of participants to 30.

> The idea of this initiative was to not only train participants and disperse, but to keep them close and build a Network among them and other regional Technical Institutions to continue the success of women in Engineering and Policy. with that vision, the idea of a post workshop mailing list was born. Through post workshop feedback by participants, we saw the need to avail a follow up training on UNIX with ISOC's INFORUM online trainings which has been actively moderated by Kevin Chege of ISOC until it ended last week.

This include completing a constitution that was drafted to help facilitate the registration of Gamchix and identifying an executive committee and an Advisory Board (Please refer to attached minutes). While brainstorming on who to appoint as members of the Advisory Board, We recognized Anna and you as the best fit to help this course. This is due to your experience, Passion and exposure to the Regional and Global Internet Community and also being a successful lady.
