*Report back session *
*Group : CN Summit*
· Use pf the declaration and its purpose
· How to get everyone involved
· Levelling the playing field
· Need an oversight committee for preparatory process
· Must be a bottom up from regions to global
· Focus on commonalities
· Build on previous initiatives
· Gathering needed before the summit of the CNs – spaces to
accommodate local circumstances
· Risk – stress in the process may backfire
· Should not start with a blank page – but needs a framework document
to be setup
· Wireless international group is already meeting – need to ensure
their inclusion
· Role of woman to shape the process
*Group: Inclusivity*
· Inclusivity is a broad issue: Gender, territorial, Language
· Gender: Cultural constrains in general is noted; needs to be a
deepening of understanding of power relationships and roles of different
members of society in each region
· CN definition to help people realise if they need to be part of the
process
· Energy on putting action on sensitive groups – to empower
marginalised people in more roles
· Technologies that can be made your own has an important role e.g.
Alta Mundi
· As a collective of CNs – need to reflect more on what it means to
be more diverse and inclusive
· Actions must be undertaken as close to the ground as possible e.g.
local content process
· Regional diversity: No representation of the Asia-Pacific region –
must be addressed; note several examples from this region in GisWatch
· Language diversity: Regional discussions are very important;
therefore work at the regional level – before global level; noted that
Francophone not represented – must be addressed; See Alta Mundi translation
project – where communities undertook translation.
· Race is also an issue to be addressed
*Group: Policy *
· Work at national and regional level to obtain access to fibre and
spectrum – provide exemplars (write up cases) as to how this can be done
for others to learn from
· Similarly access to USFs – which must be more flexible in what they
fund e.g. skills development, tech development
· Spectrum Access: Has to be taken to regulators and a wider
community of stakeholders; therefore need to provide some information pack
in this regard
· Access to backhaul: Bring cases that can demonstrate benefits of
access; try to make governments look good in the process;
· Select best practice cases from different countries and provide
such info to government
· Problem of treating first nations as a country within a country
must be addressed
· GisWatch / or continuation can be used for advocacy purposes

Queridis,
surgido por las exigencias de ISOC respecto de los SIGs es que nos
planteamos una reunión de RCs para el 28 de Julio, dentro de poco más de
dos semanas.
Les parece que lo llevemos adelante? Lo dejamos para el 28, cambiamos fecha?
Quiénes tienen ganas de participar, quiéne quieren contribuir para
organizarlo?
Por mi parte, estoy con muchas ganas de darle un empujoncito a este
espacio y dedicarle un poco de amor para mantenerlo. Entiendo que es un
año difícil para muches de nosotres, tal vez compartirnos nos de un
grato momento :)
ENGLISH
Dears,
As a result of ISOC's demands regarding SIGs, we are planning a CN
meeting for July 28, in just over two weeks.
What do you think, we do it? On 28th, or we change the date?
Who wants to participate? Who wants to contribute to organize it?
About myself, I am eager to give this space a little push and dedicate a
little love to maintain it. I understand that it is a difficult year for
many of us, perhaps sharing us give us a pleasant moment :)
PORTUGUES
Meus queridis,
Como resultado das demandas do ISOC em relação aos SIGs, estamos
planejando uma reunião da CN no dia 28 de julho, em pouco mais de duas
semanas.
O que você acha, nós fazemos? No dia 28, ou mudamos a data?
Quem quer participar? Quem quer contribuir para organizá-lo?
Sobre mim, estou ansiosa para dar um empurrão neste espaço e dedicar um
pouco de amor para mantê-lo. Entendo que é um ano difícil para muit@s de
nós, talvez compartilhar nos dê um momento agradável :)
