Hi everyone,

Networks: Innovative Licensing Approaches*.
Here's the link:

I'm sure Jane or anyone else from ISOC on this list can give more
information.

Dear all,
As you may know, RightsCon will take place from 16 to 18 May In Toronto.
Several DC3 members will be there and I think it would be an excellent opportunity to have a face to face meeting and start exchanging ideas on how to organize DC3 work until the IGF.
I have booked a "meeting pod", on Wednesday 16, during lunch break, hoping this time slot will be suitable for everyone. (see gathering details below)
The DC3 gathering will be right after this session on DIY toolkits for citizen inclusion & empowerment, where I will present on Network Self-determination http://sched.co/EHln
Please feel free to share the details of the sessions on CNs that you participating to so that we can have a better idea of what session might be of particular interest for DC3 members.
All the best
Luca

Dear DSA Members,
On behalf of Kalpak, I would like to share with you that this year the DSA
is excited to welcome 29 regulators from 22 different regulatory bodies in
attendance at our Sixth Annual Global Summit event and Regulator Workshop
(see attached list for specific names). This is an exciting feat for the
Alliance, as it is not only the largest number of individual regulators we
have ever had attend the Summit before, but it is also the largest number
of regulatory organizations to participate.
As such, we would encourage all of you to help us continue to get the word
out about the Global Summit. There is no other conference discussing modern
and innovative spectrum management methodologies, including dynamically
shared and license exempt operations, like the DSA’s Summit. Please feel
free to share and repost the Alliance’s LinkedIn
<https://www.linkedin.com/company/dynamic-spectrum-alliance-limited> feeds
with your associates and feel free to use the attached PDF invite when
encouraging any clients, customers, or colleagues to attend.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Best Regards,
Josh Planton

particular works of note for the DC3 community include Adaptive Threshold
Setting for Determining Spectrum Occupancy in TV White Space (note), DIY
Model for Mobile Network Deployment: A Step Towards 5G for All (note),
Information-Centric
Multi-Access Edge Computing Platform for Community Mesh Networks (paper),
and Nation-State Hegemony in Internet Routing (paper).
We also have open slots available for poster presentations of
works-in-progress. If you’re interested in attending and submitting a
proposal, please reach out to Nithya (nithyasamba(a)google.com) with your
poster title and a brief (1-2 page) write up detailing the project.

Subject: [gaia] IETF 102 - Montreal, Canada - 14-20 July - WG Meeting
Hi everyone in GAIA,
We’ll have a WG meeting as part of IETF 102 in Montreal. The exact day/time is not yet defined, but will be after ANRW’18 (Monday July 16).
As with previous meetings, this is a great opportunity for those nearby to meet, share ideas, talk about projects, research, results, plans and discuss. Remote participation and presentation will be available.
The event will have one part for presentations, and another to discuss about best current practices (and draft a document out of that).
If you plan to come and present let us know off-list so we can prepare the agenda. Tell us before the end of this month to allocate a few slots, with preference for diversity (new speakers), and order of arrival.
Regarding best current practices, our working idea is to collect case studies about different ways to develop networking infrastructures and services. Let us know if you have ideas about how to structure the document, its content, or willing to report on a specific experience. There are related reports or developments, please share to build a good list of sources, collaborations, references to develop this document.
We can have a conference call sometime in June to discuss and prepare a proposal to discuss in our IETF 102 meeting.
Regards, Jane and Leandro.
Hi everyone,
I hope Peter and co. from Rhizomatica doesn't mind me sharing this, but I
just saw this (congrats!):
*Independent community network stands tall* – A Mexican civil society
association has won a legal battle for the right of indigenous communities
to establish and manage their own community networks. The ruling exempts
the nonprofit community network operator from a hefty fee levied on
traditional commercial providers, arguing that the continued availability
of affordable voice and data services in these remote communities is
important to uphold their basic human rights, including freedom of
expression.
https://globalvoices.org/2018/05/01/in-mexico-an-indigenous-
community-telco-will-continue-to-operate-for-now/
Hard work well done!
