FYI: An update from Melanie Dulong de Rosnay over the printed
version of the netCommons project finale - a booksprint held at a
monastry in Vic, Catalonia that produced an interdisciplinary book
& guide through the all the territories to consider when
seeding and ensuring sustainable, local, autonomous networks.
Hope the printed version is released soon.

Dear netCommons colleagues,
I hope the list is still working, just to share Luca's news on CNs
policy recognition, and to confirm that we are still eagerly
waiting for the printing of the book.
After lots of editorial work last spring and summer and fall, the
PDF with beautiful images can be downloaded
(
https://netcommons.eu/?q=news/release-netcommons-hands-guide-community-networks)
since right before Christmas, and except a few tweets, we were
planning to wait for the print to arrive to do some promotion -
the print still hasn't arrived and we are still completely unaware
of how long it will take...!
Hope everybody is doing well,
All the best,
Mélanie & Félix

Sujet : [netsociety] Excellent News for Brazil, the IGF and

Dear colleagues,
I would like to share some excellent news from Brazil, that has
also a very positive impact on the IGF and its work.
The Brazilian Telecoms Regulator ANATEL has explicitly and
officially recognized Community Networks as an option for Internet
access in Brazil and, while doing so, and explicitly mentions (and
links) “The Community Network Manual” (2018 outcome of the IGF
Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity) in the rational for
this decision.
https://www.anatel.gov.br/setorregulado/component/content/article/2-uncategorised/528-redes-comunitarias
This is, to date, the biggest country on hearth explicitly
recognising the value of CNs. The creation of CNs in Brazil was
already possible, as simplified ISPs, since 2017 (see our study
here on CN in Latin America here
https://www.internetsociety.org/resources/doc/2018/community-networks-in-latin-america/
) but this is the first time ANATEL officially uses the CN
terminology providing both legal and technical guidance (using the
CN Manual!) on how to create them.
This is not only important for Brazil but also represent
another*piece of concrete evidence that the IGF is not a mere
talking shop and when people want to use the IGF process to
produce meaningful outcomes, they can. And, importantly, IGF
outputs can have real impact on digital policies.
My sincerest congratulations to ALL those who dedicated time to
development and use of the CN Manual, particularly the members of
the IGF Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity that are on on
this list!
All the best
Luca
