Community networks Franklin meeting
Next meeting of Community Networks Franklin is 26th August 10am via Zoom.
We had planned a workshop as a follow-up to our forum however this is more difficult to manage on Zoom and we would prefer to leave this until we can meet face to face.
Our meeting agenda:
* Presentation by Andrew Beyer on the direction of CNF in preparation for our next meeting when we can meet face to face.
* How we are responding to the current Covid situation, what support our organisation needs and what support we can offer to others
* I have two organisations that I have invited and one of them I am hoping will present.
What this space for the zoom link and the update on our presenter,

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
