Hi everyone,
A few weeks ago, I annouced a call for proposals for RightsCon
<https://www.rightscon.org/> Toronto 2018 for the Digital Tech and
Sustainable Development track.
Good news!
The deadline for submitting session proposals has been *extended to Dec. 4*
.
Organizing a session is the *best *way to get the most out of RightsCon,
and to *help shape the agenda at the world's leading event on human rights
in the digital age*.
Connectivity, digital security, tools for monitoring and reporting, and
other major issues in the digital rights space are impacting work in the
development sector more than ever before.
>From providing sustainable, connected communities for refugees, to
empowering democratic and economic participation in marginalized
communities, to improving access to education and healthcare, to mapping
impact on the environment and protected lands, and beyond, RightsCon is a
space for tackling big challenges and *connecting across sectors to develop
powerful solutions*. It is expected that sessions will evolve between now
and the event, so submissions do not need to be in their final form.
*Send us your ideas by Dec. 4th to start the process of shaping a great
program for this year's event:* https://www.rightscon.org/submission/
Best,
-Michael Oghia

In the November The Economist a series of articles has a special report
on the Technology in Africa
https://drive.google.com/open?id=15kvdLkDNLb2j2DgkokgaGT6U7aHVSYJd
It drills down on the connectivity issues in Africa and it has relevance to
the ISOC Connecting Communities initiative in Africa

Dear DC3 people
We are preparing the Coolab workshop at this year's IGF, and would like to
know if anyone else from DC3 (or anyone involved with community
connectivity) is also going to Geneva.
We would like to use the workshop as an opportunity to gather the community.
Regards
Bruno

Hi all,
After getting credentials on the ISOC server, we tried running Wordpress on
it but because there were some techincal issues with it, I would not rely
on it. There were several issues that I did not feel happy or even
comfortable with to work in the future. I wanted a clean slate.
I am not a backend person, so after our technical experts were unable to
make it work adequately, I finally decided to buy the hosting myself, since
I felt at least partially responsibile for delaying this development for so
long. With cPanel, I can use the backend well enough to build this website.
I have registered a website comcon.nu today to work on the site, but we can
keep using the old name after the owner of comconnectivity.org changes the
nameservers to point to my hosting. Better yet, now we can use both
addresses. :)
Please give me two weeks to build the site and in the meanwhile, you can
collect research and other content that is currently missing on the
comconnectivity.org -site. Please post it in this thread and I will add it.
I am coming to the IGF and we can discuss the website more there.

Dear All –
Please see some excellent funding opportunities from RIPE NCC.
Contact info at the end of the bottom.
-----------------------
Community Projects Fund
-----------------------
Are you working on improving the operation and resilience of the
Internet? Apply *by 24 November* for the RIPE NCC Community Projects Fund:
https://www.ripe.net/community-projects-fund
Community-driven, non-commercial work has been fundamental to the
success of the Internet from its earliest days, and continues to play an
important role in making the Internet resilient, secure and accessible
for everyone.
Is your project of benefit to the Internet, particularly the RIPE
community? Is your project non-commercial in nature? Do you have a clear
project plan and timeline?
Under the RIPE NCC Community Projects Fund, the RIPE NCC will provide up
to EUR 250,000 per year to support projects of value to the operation
and resilience of the Internet, with a focus on tools and services
benefitting the technical community in the Europe, the Middle East and
Central Asia.
Keep in mind that funding may be used to purchase equipment, but this
cannot be the sole expenditure. Funding cannot be used for humanitarian
aid, donations, or to encourage political reform, to provide
scholarships or cover tuition fees or to support any form of commercial
activity.

Hi everyone,
Please see the email below from the Access Now team – the organization
behind the RightsCon Summit Series. The conference is being held in Toronto
in May 2018, the same week as the ICT for Sustainability (ICT4S)
conference. Hopefully we can spur some synergies between the ICT4S and
Internet governance/digital rights communities, especially since they are
introducing a sustainability track.
Best,
-Michael Oghia

Dear Friends,
We’re inviting you to set the agenda at RightsCon Toronto
<https://www.rightscon.org/> (May 16-18, 2018) by designing and building a
session through our Call for Proposals
<https://www.rightscon.org/submission/>, open until November 24, 2017.
*We’re particularly excited to see your submissions under the track for
Digital Tech and Sustainable Development, as well as Environment, Health,
Land, and Labour. We are looking to expand the program on these issues for
this year’s event, and it will be an excellent opportunity for
collaboration across sectors. *
Why lead a RightsCon session?
RightsCon is home to the world’s leading community of movers and shakers in
the digital age. The event brings together policy makers, business leaders,
government representatives, technologists, campaigners, and human rights
defenders from around the world. RightsCon Toronto is set to be our biggest
and most impactful event yet, with over 2000 participants from 110
countries and 750 organizations.
Leading a session is the best way to make a direct impact at RightsCon:
from identifying and mapping problems, to connecting with the right allies
and partners, and workshopping solutions and ultimately driving change. By
getting involved in the program and setting the agenda, you will gain
expert insight, build new strategic partnerships, and influence global
norms.
What does a RightsCon session look like?
Timely, engaging, outcomes-oriented, and creative. We suggest you start by
reading our submission guide <https://rightscon.org/submissionguide>, as it
offers helpful tips and suggestions for what makes a great proposal! There
are many different formats you can choose from:
-
Need to get our community together to problem-solve a major challenge?
Design a Fishbowl.
-
Want to launch or showcase a new internet freedom product? Do a Tech Demo
.
-
Have a specific policy or advocacy strategy you want to map out? Lead a
Workshop.
-
Looking to give a crash course on a recent development in your field?
Give a Lightning Talk.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach in setting the RightsCon agenda, but
the key to a successful session is picking the right format to engage
participants and achieve your objectives. Still not sure which format is
best? We’re here to help, email us at conference(a)accessnow.org.
