Foundation

After the concept launch event on Thursday, October 8th 2009, The Silicon Cape Foundation non-profit entity will be formed by a 10-seat community appointed steering committee to carry forward the vision of the initiative. The process for the establishment of the foundation is as follows:

• All community nominations and volunteers for the steering committee to be submitted to nominations@siliconcape.com by Friday 16th October 2009
• After the closing, a community vote will be held for a shortlist for the 10 seats based on the nominations received
• Once in place, the steering committee will takeover from the interim steering committee and be charged with electing a chairperson, establishing the foundation and charter, fundraising, developing a working document of objectives and roles, establishing portfolio sub-committees, co-opting members, and so on.
• Details of the foundation once established will be placed here.
