Dear all, Our proposal has been accepted!!! For panellists: please see below info on RightsCon tikets (with possible discounts/exemptions) and funding. Here is the proposal link https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/RightsCon_Session_Proposal Best Luca ________________________________ De: Nick Dagostino [nickd(a)accessnow.org] Enviado: quarta-feira, 27 de janeiro de 2016 15:58 Para: Luca Belli Assunto: RightsCon Silicon Valley Dear Luca Belli, Thank you very much for your submission to host a session at RightsCon Silicon Valley 2016. The Program Committee has reviewed your proposal, and I’m very pleased to inform you that your session ID#183 "Net Neutrality Principles and Exceptions" has been accepted! You should be really pleased, as there was intense competition with over 300 proposals from 50 countries for only a limited number of spaces. Congratulations! Now begins the fun part. One of the things that makes RightsCon so special is our concerted attention to the program and its development. Therefore, we will be in touch very shortly as to the details of your session, and individualized recommendations from our Program Committee for ways to best integrate your session at RightsCon. This will help to ensure the session’s focus on producing outcomes, and that geographic, stakeholder, and gender diversity is represented in the session’s speakers and participants. We may also propose additional all-star speakers to join your session! For now, this email is your cue to begin logistical preparations for RightsCon. Below is important information about tickets (and our discount system), general housekeeping, and other information related to your travel to San Francisco. Please review this and contact me with any questions you may have, and expect a follow up email with more programmatic information pertaining to your session. HOUSEKEEPING When: The Conference will take place from Wednesday March 30th to Friday April 1st at the Mission Bay Conference Center<http://www.acc-missionbayconferencecenter.com/> in San Francisco. The schedule is still in development, so we will be in touch with details as to the dates, times and rooms for your session. Official programming will begin at 9am on March 30th (including the Opening Ceremonies), but you may want to arrive in San Francisco early to participate in the amazing Satellite Events and social activities that will take place on Day 0, Tuesday March 29th. FUNDING: We will be raising money for participants until the day of the conference. However, an extraordinary high volume of those that submitted proposals have requested assistance. Currently, we are processing those travel funding requests and will notify recipients within the coming weeks. However, given the limited amount of funds, we suggest that you begin seeking assistance elsewhere. TICKETS: We're absolutely committed to ensuring that everyone can participate, but due to the nature of this conference, in which a high proportion of people attending are speaking or session hosts, we are asking that those with the means to do so pay for tickets. This allows us to fund activists and advocates from around the world. Over the years, RightsCon has provided partial or complete support for hundreds of people from over 35 countries including Sudan, Vietnam, Pakistan, Brazil, Thailand, Uganda, and many more. We think that’s pretty awesome, and we wouldn’t have been able to do this without the generous support from our funders and people like you. So, thanks! For those of you who are able to cover the full cost of the ticket (ranging from $250 and up), simply follow this link<http://rightscon.org/tickets>. Anyone who can't, here are links which will give 25%<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/rightscon-silicon-valley-2016-tickets-19158023…>, 50%<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/rightscon-silicon-valley-2016-tickets-19158023…>, 75%<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/rightscon-silicon-valley-2016-tickets-19158023…> or 100%<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/rightscon-silicon-valley-2016-tickets-19158023…> off. People can choose whichever is appropriate for their circumstances. Having all participate at RightsCon Silicon Valley 2016<https://www.rightscon.org/> is the most important thing to us. These rates apply for your session’s speakers as well, and you can offer those discounts to them. Please direct them to the RightsCon Ticket Page<https://www.rightscon.org/tickets>, where they can utilize the following discount codes in the Eventbrite order form: RCPART25 (25% off), RCPART50 (50% off), RCPART75 (75%), or RCPART100 (100% off). VISA LETTERS: Information about obtaining U.S Visas will be provided shortly in the subsequent email. In the meantime, please contact us with any questions you have about obtaining U.S Visas, or if you require an invitation letter. ACCOMMODATIONS: We have assembled a map of recommended hotels in proximity to the Mission Bay Conference Center, which you can find here<https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=zGKgiILd35P0.kx42OXcTuipQ>. If you have any questions please let us know, and we look forward to working with you! Best, Nick Dagostino PS We'd love you to let the world know your session has been approved.

DC3 Website & Draft Rules of Procedure

by Luca Belli

Dear all, Apologies for the delay, I had a quite intense week. Please find the list of proposed website and domain prices here https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/dc3_website Should you deem it necessary, we can have a vote to select the domain name over the next week. However, it seems to me that CommunityConnectivity.xyz (proposed by Bob) would be an excellent solution, because it is very explicit and also very cheap (only 5$ :) Also please find the draft Rules of Procedure here https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/DC3_Rules_of_Procedure Feel free to edit/comment the document until 5 February. (and apologies in advance if the draft is too legalistic :) As soon as we will have a domain name, we could start developing a website (thanks Raoul and Maureen for volunteering with this!!). We basically need 4 pages i.e. About, Members, Sources, News&Ideas. All other suggestions are welcome. So far all the existing info on the DC3 can be found on the IGF website https://www.intgovforum.org/cms/175-igf-2015/3014-dynamic-coalition-on-comm… Finally, RightsCon organisers haven't released any news re the selected proposal yet. I will share a mail as soon as I will have info. Have an excellent weekend! Luca

Please, let me know if you need any further information. Kind regards, Luca Request for establishment of the IGF Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity (DC3) The necessity of creating the DC3 The need for a Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity (DC3) emerged during the IGF workshop 223 "Community Networks: a Revolutionary Paradigm", held in JoÃ£o Pessoa, during the 10th IGF. Workshop participants agreed on the potential of community networks in order to promote sustainable Internet connectivity and foster the full enjoyment of fundamental rights such as freedom of expression and self-determination. To this extent participants stressed the need to move forward the discussion on community networks and further analyse how such networks may be used to foster sustainable Internet connectivity while empowering Internet users. During the workshop, consensus emerged with regard to the need for international cooperation aimed at fostering synergy and coordination amongst different community networks. Such cooperation may be particularly useful in order to identify: â¢ best practices for the development and maintenance of community networks; â¢ sustainable organisational and financial models for community networks; â¢ efficient software and hardware technology. To address the aforementioned issues while fostering cooperation, many participants expressed interest with regard to the establishment of a new IGF Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity. Action Plan The Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity (DC3) emerged as an outcome of the IGF workshop 223 "Community Networks: a Revolutionary Paradigm", held in JoÃ£o Pessoa, during the 10th IGF. The DC3 has been created in order to foster multistakeholder analysis of the various types and models of community networks, with the aim of identifying and promoting best practices and sustainable approaches to Internet connectivity in the context of communities. The DC3 participants will foster joint efforts aimed at: * â¢ Making Community Networks (CN) visible to policy makers so they can be properly considered as an actor in the telecommunications ecosystem. * â¢ Identifying good open-access resources that may be useful to communicate to non-techies what CN are and how they work; * â¢ Mapping existing CN and try to foster communication amongst them, promoting strategies to achieve common goals; * â¢ Identifying models of CN (e.g. rural CN, urban CN, etc.) and best practices that can make them particularly efficient and resilient both from a technical and organizational perspective; * â¢ Identifying best practices and worst practices as regards national and international policies that facilitate or hinder the deployment of community networks. * â¢ Consolidating and publishing these ideas into some âCommunity Network Guidelines/Best practicesâ to be presented at the next IGF and divulgated on the future DC3 website. * â¢ Supporting CN gatherings and hands-on work meetings at a regional and global level. * â¢ Addressing common technology development needs, from identifying technological bottlenecks to helping find the resources needed to solve them in a manner that will be beneficial to the sector as a whole. * â¢ Develop a framework for easy access to promote the deployment of CN in remote areas Members Technical Community Bob Frankston, IEEE Consumer Electronics Society FrÃ©dÃ©ric Donck, ISOC Civil Society NicolÃ¡s EchÃ¡niz, Altermundi Ritu Srivastava, Digital Empowerment Foundation Kevin Bankston, New America Foundation Raoul Plommer, Electronic Frontier Finland Leandro Navarro, UPC, community-lab.net and guifi.net Mike Jensen, Association for Progressive Communications (APC) Parminder Jeet Singh, IT4Change Academia Janara Sousa, Universidade de BrasÃlia Catherine Middleton, Ryerson University Diego Vicentin, UNICAMP Nathalia Foditsch, American University Luca Belli, Center for Technology & Society, FundaÃ§Ã£o Getulio Vargas Jamila Venturini, Center for Technology & Society, FundaÃ§Ã£o Getulio Vargas Henrique Mohr, Universidade Federal de Santa Maria Private Sector Edliano Valeriano Azevedo da Silva, Systems Analyst Maureen Hernandez, Systems Engineer Intergovernmental Organisations Lee Hibbard, Council of Europe Mailing list https://listas.altermundi.net/mailman/listinfo/dc3 Contact Person Luca Belli luca.belli(a)fgv.br<mailto:luca.belli@fgv.br> DC3 Co-coordinators Luca Belli, Center for Technology & Society, FundaÃ§Ã£o Getulio Vargas NicolÃ¡s EchÃ¡niz, Altermundi Parminder Jeet Singh, IT4Change Ritu Srivastava, Digital Empowerment Foundation [attachment "Request for DC3.pdf" deleted by Anja GENGO/UNOG/GVA/UNO]
