Luca and All –
Given the amazing energy around this great workshop, and that so many people may be in one place.
I wondered – should we take advantage of all of the great people coming to Guadalajara and hold a day-long Community Networking event?
We could focus in greater detail on topics related to:
-Community Building/Getting Started
-Business Case/Sustainability
-Tools for setting up networks/The “How”
-Tools for training/The “How” and sustainability
-Software/Hardware Tools
-Spectrum issues
-Legal/policy (as related to spectrum or authorizations)
-Other
We could do it before, during, or after the IGF.
Or, if this complicates things – we could find another event – maybe ICTP has something in early 2017 where we could gather, meet/dicuss.
Talk to me ;)
Best,
Jane

Hello everyone,
First, I'm introducing myself. My name is Evelin (better known as Scann)
and I'm helping Nico in AlterMundi. We were recently discussing with Nico
his idea about making a "permanent survey of community networks" to have
all the information gathered about WCN (some of these ideas have been
discussed here already:
http://listas.altermundi.net/pipermail/dc3/2016-June/000208.html).
We have sit down with Nico to make a first draft for a more formal
proposal, and we'd like to have your input:
https://pad.codigosur.org/DC3WikiDrafts
Also, it would be a good idea if you want to discuss this in LAC IGF during
the days that you'll be there.
Best,
Scann
Hi all,
This email is just to inform you that the deadline for submissions is extended until 10 August
All the best

IGF Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity (DC3)
First DC3 Report Call for Papers
Background:
The need for a Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity (DC3) emerged during the IGF workshop 223 "Community Networks: a Revolutionary Paradigm", held in João 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. Participants stressed the need to move forward the discussion on community networks (CN) and further analyse how such networks may help create sustainable Internet connectivity while empowering Internet users. During the workshop, consensus emerged with regard to the need for international cooperation aimed at creating synergy and coordination amongst different CN. Such cooperation may be particularly useful in order to identify:
· good practices for the development and maintenance of CNs;
· sustainable organisational, legal and financial models for CNs;
· efficient software and hardware technology for CNs.
To address the aforementioned and foster cooperation, many participants expressed interest with regard to the establishment of a new IGF Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity.
Call:
The Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity, established under the auspices of the United Nations Internet Governance Forum, invites all interested individuals to submit position papers analysing the issues of connectivity and community networking, with particular regard to existing CN experiences. Suggested topics include analyses of, inter alia:
· Case studies of existing CN;
· Public policies fostering CN;
· Examples of efforts aimed at creating synergies/communication amongst different CN and other initiatives alike;
· Taxonomies of CN (e.g. rural CN, urban CN, etc.) and good practices that can make such categories of CN efficient and resilient both from a technical, legal and organizational perspective;
· Best practices and worst practices as regards national and international policies and legislation that facilitate or hinder the deployment of community networks;
· Strategies to promote the deployment of CN in remote areas.
Submission Guidelines:
Research papers, including analytical and theoretical papers, position papers, or case studies will be considered for inclusion in the report, even if they have been previously published. The length of the submissions should be between 2500 and 5000 words. To facilitate the reviewing process, papers should not include author names or other information that would help identify the authors. All papers shall be in English or Spanish language. Citation should be in APA 6 style and authors shall use footnotes rather than endnotes.
Submissions are due on 20th July 2016. They should include the following elements:
· Title
· Short abstract (250 words)
· First draft of the submitted paper
· Author’s name, affiliation and short bibliographical note (in the body of the email)
Submissions should be sent to luca.belli(a)fgv.br<mailto:luca.belli@fgv.br>
Authors will be notified within approximately 10 days from the deadline as to the status of their contributions.
All submitted papers will be subject to peer review. Every author submitting a paper will be asked to peer review another submission, which will be judged according to the novelty of the contribution, the theoretical soundness and the quality of presentation.
Authors will be given the opportunity to improve their contributions based on peer comments. Selected papers will be published into the First Report of the IGF Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity, which will be published in open access, under Creative Commons licenses.
Authors will also be invited (at their own expenses) to present their work at the annual DC3 meeting to be held at the United Nations Internet Governance Forum, on 6-9 December, in Guadalajara Mexico.

Dear friends and especially in the USA,
this Call for Input i have received on the hackerspaces discussion list.
But Herb Lin from the Stanford University is interested for distribution.
Clear, i think, this is first directed to the people from the USA. But
the result, and the theme, is for the people from our planet.
I don't understand this strategy for this Input. But i hope, many people
from USA start to do it.
many greetings, willi, german

Enhancing Cybersecurity - bridging the trust gap between the IT

Subject: Call for input to President's Commission on Enhancing
Cybersecurity - bridging the trust gap between the IT community
and the US government
Dear IPers -
You may know that President Obama has established a commission to
consider how to strengthen cybersecurity in both the public and
private sectors while protecting privacy, ensuring public safety and
economic and national security, fostering discovery and development
of new technical solutions, and bolstering partnerships between
Federal, State, and local government and the private sector in the
development, promotion, and use of cybersecurity technologies,
policies, and best practices. (See
https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2016/02/09/executive-order-comm…
.)
I am one of the 12 designated commissioners.
Recognizing that trust is hard to build and easy to destroy (and a
variety of things have happened over the last 20 years have occurred
to do the latter), one issue that has come up is the enormous gap of
trust between the U.S. government and the information technology
(IT) community, from which many IPers are drawn. This rift is not
helpful to either side, and I'd like to solicit input from the IP
community about what you think the government can do or refrain from
doing to help bridge that gap.
It would be most helpful if you could three things in your response:
1 - Your best examples of things the government (and what part of the
US government) has done to alienate the IT community specifically.
(Or, at the very least, show how the examples you provide connect to
the interests of the IT community.)
2 - Things that the U.S. government could realistically do in the
short and medium term (i.e., 0-10 year time frame) that would help
bridge the trust gap. If your answer is "Don't do dumb things!", it
would be better and more useful to provide *examples* of what not to
do.
3 - Things that the U.S. government could realistically do in the
longer term to do the same.
Please send your responses to CENCinput1(a)gmail.com. (I set up this
email address, but I'd like to keep the traffic separate from my
non-Commission work email.) I promise to read as many as I can
individually and share what I learn with the commission membership.
Also, feel free to circulate this call for input to anyone else you
feel would want to comment.
Thanks much
Herb

Dear Amali De Silva,
many many thanks for your initiative in this environment to discuss this
theme. One of the most important question for us. I have addressed many
lists. And i know, many friends act on different lists. Maybe, sometimes
we bring the different discussions together.
This question is not only for jobless people or for that, what some
people say, "extension of human capital". A terrible term.
We act, or the most of us, for a telecommunication that can interconnect
all people on our planet. And we do it mostly, because we have the
experience, how strong was this system to help us in our own development
and activity.
But we have also another layer. We say, all this terrible destruction of
nature, culture, history, knowledge and so on, what we see in the last
decades, centuries and so on, we can stop, if the people are interconnected.
And, in a positive direction, all our understanding of the laws of the
nature, the basic for our technology, the materialisation of the law of
the nature, we can strong accelerate, if we cooperate globally in an
free and open space for all people. A fantastic perspective.
Then we never will have any problem with the development and
distribution of our Internet. For that we can say: the inter-connection
of any device or the inter-connection of all local networks with her
devices. Physically, of course, all devices. And the people use the
devices for her communication and information exchange.
We know, knowledge is a common resource. We know it from ourself, we
know it from other people. All our knowledge is based on that, what
other people before and today created and published. Never any person
alone can work.
The patent rights suggest, we as a individual person can create
something alone. This is a big nonsense, a religion. But we, with our
experience and understanding, can say, we ignore all this nonsense. We
never use it, we never recognize it. It is more a decision for us self,
like with all religions. They are depend, that the people believe.
And we have the experience, that if nobody follow, nothing exist of
that. Only a paper maybe.
I speak here consciously to a group of enlightened people. And i speak
here to activist for a free and open interconnection of all people on
our planet. I am atheist and i go only in a church to see the used
technology in our history. Therefore, i am not interested for dogmatic
propaganda.
In my concentration to the internet the technology to realize stay
always in the foreground. The first part, the theoretical discussion
about structures and methodologies, is for me clear. We have it, if we want.
The transport of the digital data in packetform over any geografical
distances is the most important part, what we have to organice. And not
with Kb, Mb, or little Gb. No, with Tb. But i know, that in this lists
the most people people don't like to work with experimental and
theoretical physic. They like more to repeat all this Governance
rethoric. Papers for papaers, texts for texts. Endless without a clear
perspective.
We know, our Internet we can only create in a global cooperation in the
technical sphere. The people in the regions have to be able to organize
the internet in his region. And only the IP header we need for our
interoperability. That we understand the elements in this language. And
how we transport the data is not important. Only the non-alteration is
important.
The result for me is the free technology. Free for participate, free for
using the result, for all people on our planet. The principles: "global
thinking, local doing" and "knowledge is always worldheritage".
many thanks and greetings, willi

Betreff: [governance] management of technology patents, licenses and
royalty agreements focus group on impacts for labour / jobs, not just IT
skills
Datum: Fri, 15 Jul 2016 04:09:36 +0000 (UTC)
Von: amalidesilva(a)yahoo.com <amalidesilva(a)yahoo.com>

Just a thought....
Civil society should build a focus group in the area of patents,
licensing and technologies as it impacts labour supply not just skills,
as it is a key to the allocation of wealth and the management of labour
(job loss, is not just skills related it is actual displacement ) in to
the future, if global birth rates are sustained at current levels...this
is about access to technology.
In the past WSIS stakeholders have really promoted sharing of
technological knowledge...so we have already have an early interest in
this area of work and the monitoring of it....
Simple example. If the recipe for making cakes had not been shared but
patented , there would be one global baker using a robot cake machine
and not a cake baker in every city as now...so lots of cake making
jobs were sustained...Even the most complex of technology developments
may have to take this route for evolution at a certain level , whatever
that level may be, to minimize net job loss in the interim / short term
for social stability....this may also provide enhanced creative
opportunities for the future...
Job losses of the future must be managed by society as the numbers will
be too large to be easily assimilated by the general job market place
plus..to address the current IT skills gap , civil society should
actively support the IT education of the 40 to 65 year olds ...in to the
future we will need less technically qualified people as AI develops
sophistication....this is the real issue then...and we need to start
planning now as the current global talk suggests....
