Dear SEEDIG community and partners,  

We are hereby sharing several updates regarding the SEEDIG 6 annual
meeting, kindly inviting you all to contribute to the planning process,
which is now formally resumed. 

1. SEEDIG 6 DATES 

Given the extraordinary situation that SEEDIG has gone through over the
past few months, and the delays in the planning process for the annual
meeting, SEEDIG 6 [1] is moved to the autumn. THE EXACT DATES OF THE
MEETING ARE 22–23 SEPTEMBER 2020, WITH THE USUAL PRE-EVENTS ON 21
SEPTEMBER. 

This change is fully supported by our local partners in Moldova and was
also discussed at the January online planning meetings [2]. We trust
that moving SEEDIG 6 later in the year will give us all more time for
the related planning activities, without having to rush and compromise
on quality.  

In previous years, having SEEDIG in spring allowed discussions from
SEEDIG to feed into EuroDIG. This year's change, however, brings another
advantage: using the EuroDIG meeting in early summer to (a) facilitate
discussions between the SEE+ community and the rest of Europe on matters
of common interest and then feed those discussions into the SEEDIG
meeting; and (b) offer a space for the SEEDIG community to meet up and
discuss any SEEDIG-related matters, before the annual SEEDIG event. 

2. LOCAL PARTNERS 

We are glad to announce the following local partners for SEEDIG 6 in
Moldova: 

 	* Host: Tekwill [3]
 	* Local partners:

 	* Moldovan Association of ICT Companies  [4](ATIC)
 	* E-governance Agency [5] 
 	* Moldova State University [6] (it will also host the SEEDIG Youth
School)
 	* Mediapoint [7] 

Discussions are ongoing with other entities and new partnerships are to
be announced soon. 

3. NEXT STEPS 

The Programme Committee is meeting this week to revise the SEEDIG 6
planning process and timeline. They will also define modalities for
further community involvement in the programme building process, so stay
tuned for updates from the PC. 

Meanwhile, any suggestions regarding outreach for SEEDIG 6, new
potential local and regional partners, fundraising opportunities, etc.
are more than welcome. 

We trust that together we will plan another successful meeting and that
we will see many of you in Chisinau this September. 

Thank you! 

Best regards, 

Sorina 

(on behalf of the Executive Committee)
