Fwd: [IAMCR] CFP: International Digital Divide Conference 24-26 May 2017, San Diego, California, USA

by Michael Oghia

Saw this and thought that some of you might find it interesting. It's a bit disappointing that there doesn't seem to be more outreach to the Internet governance community occurring, however. For instance, it would have been great to see them partnering with ISOC on this. Best, -Michael ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Rod Carveth <rodcarveth(a)hotmail.com> Date: Tue, Feb 14, 2017 at 3:18 PM Subject: [IAMCR] CFP: International Digital Divide Conference 24-26 May 2017, San Diego, California, USA To: "announcements(a)iamcr.org" <announcements(a)iamcr.org> Cc: Rod Carveth <rodcarveth(a)gmail.com> ** Please pass this message on to colleagues, networks, and lists to whom it would be of interest. Thank you! ** PARTNERSHIP FOR PROGRESS ON THE DIGITAL DIVIDE (PPDD) 2017 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE 24-26 May 2017 Best Western Plus Island Palms Hotel & Marina San Diego, California USA http://www.ppdd.org/conferences/ppdd2017/ In conjunction with the 67th International Communication Association Annual Conference Partnership for Progress on the Digital Divide (PPDD) is the only academic professional organization in the world focused solely on the digital divide and on connecting research to policymaking and practice to strategize actions and catalyze solutions to this pressing societal concern. The academic research and practitioner community represented by PPDD stands ready to advance the agenda on broadband and the digital divide, to address the many challenges and opportunities presented by the digital world, and to further evidence-based policymaking and practice so that all citizens can participate fully in the digital, networked age. The interdisciplinary Partnership for Progress on the Digital Divide 2017 International Conference brings together researchers, policymakers, and practitioners for an extended, in-depth dialogue about key issues that inform information and communication technologies and the digital divide around the world. The Conference works to identify new areas of necessary, productive focus, foster greater understanding, advance research, and enlighten policy and practice going forward. As a major outcome of PPDD 2017, we plan to produce an edited volume of the top papers as well as special issues of our Publishing Partners' journals on specific themes within the digital divide area. If you would like to present and discuss your work during PPDD 2017 and have it included in the online PPDD 2017 Conference Proceedings and/or if you would like to provide a Position Paper for inclusion in the PPDD 2017 E-Book, please see the Call for Participation (http://www.ppdd.org/ conferences/ppdd2017/cfp/) for instructions on how to submit your work for consideration. If you would like to just attend PPDD 2017 to explore the issues and grow your knowledge and network of connections, please know that you are very welcome and valued in the PPDD Conference Community. Please join PPDD and an unprecedented broad multi-disciplinary coalition of co-sponsoring organizations from academic and practitioner communities to share your insights and expertise. Together, we will enrich the dialogue, connect research, policy and practice, and advance the agenda on the digital divide. Please contact conference [at] ppdd [dot] org with any questions. ---------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ---------------------------------------------------- If you would like to 1) present and discuss your work during PPDD 2017 and have it included in the online PPDD 2017 Conference Proceedings, and/or if you would like to 2) provide a Position Paper for inclusion in the PPDD 2017 E-Book, we look forward with enthusiasm to your contribution and ask that you please follow the instructions provided at http://www.ppdd.org/ conferences/ppdd2017/cfp/ to submit your work. Submissions are welcome from researchers, policymakers, and practitioners at all stages of their careers, from any theoretical and methodological approach, and across multiple disciplines. 1) Deadline to Submit Your 250-Word Abstract for Consideration for Presentation: 6 March 2017 11:59 p.m. Hawaii Time Notification of Acceptance: 24 March 2017 If you have visa or other time-sensitive concerns, please submit your work as quickly as possible and email conference [at] ppdd [dot] org to request an expedited review so you can receive notification shortly after submission. Before we can address the digital divide, we must first understand the nature of life in the digital age, the many challenges and opportunities it presents, and the interplay of influence between technological and social change. Then, in turn, we can fully understand digital inequality; its place alongside other long-standing, persistent issues of social equity, social justice, and media justice; and what it means to be disconnected from the most important technological advancement in communication in a generation and the myriad possibilities it facilitates. Thus, PPDD 2017 invites work that informs issues related to information and communication technologies and the digital divide broadly defined, including but not limited to: - gaps in access and connectivity - digital inclusion - digital exclusion - digital (dis)engagement - challenges and opportunities - social and cultural aspects of the divide - the skills and digital/information literacy needed to interpret, understand, and navigate information presented online and the requisite curriculum - effective use by individuals and communities - the impact of socioeconomic factors on user behavior - the role of motivation, attitudes, and interests - differences in patterns of usage - characteristics and conceptualizations of non-users - the ways in which people use the Internet to create content - content creation and inequality - different forms of capital and power relationships - the impact of new and evolving technologies - the mobile divide - the interplay of influence with mobile technologies - social media - socioeconomic and cultural effects - social equity, social and economic justice, and democracy - media justice and ICTs - the ethics of digital inequality - community informatics - social informatics - urban and regional planning - social planning - international development - indigenous populations - education - ICTs and well-being - health - disability and accessibility - politics, digital government, digital citizenship, smart cities/citizens/government, civic engagement, adoption issues, and (in)equality - global citizenship - policy discourse - law and policy and its impacts, including information/telecommunications policy, net neutrality, open access, open source, copyright, Internet filtering software, and censorship - the digital security divide - the digital privacy divide - big data and inequality - public access initiatives - anchor institutions - practitioner-oriented topics considering aspects of design, management, implementation, assessment, collaboration, challenges, problem solution, and opportunities - architectural challenges and deployment experiences - Internet access cost analyses - the application of research to communities, practice, and public and private sector initiatives 2) Deadline to Submit a Position Paper for the PPDD 2017 Conference E-Book: 17 April 2017 11:59 p.m. Hawaii Time All PPDD 2017 attendees may submit a position paper and all submissions that follow the guidelines provided at http://www.ppdd.org/ conferences/ppdd2017/cfp/ will be included in the PPDD 2017 Conference E-Book. --------------------------------------------------------------- HOTEL AND OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES --------------------------------------------------------------- On the PPDD 2017 Hotel and Optional Activities page (http://www.ppdd.org/ conferences/ppdd2017/hotelactivities/), you will find full details about the PPDD 2017 Conference hotel, optional 23 May 4-Hour Field Trip to Digital Inclusion Program Sites Plus Early-Bird Group Dinner, optional 25 May Group Dinner at a Polynesian Restaurant Overlooking San Diego Bay, and sightseeing information about the San Diego area as well as helpful information if you are also attending the ICA Annual Conference.

APRICOT 2017 BoF Session on Community Wireless Mesh Networking, 28 February 2017, 17:30-19:00

by Sylvia Cadena

Hi everyone, One of our former grant recipients, Kanchana Kanchanasut from InterLab/AIT in Thailand, shared a reminder that this event is taking place at the APRICOT 2017 / APNIC 43 conference in HCMC in Viet Nam later this month. There is webcast available at our conferences, so I am pretty sure it will be possible to follow-up remotely. See below her invitation. Warm regards, Sylvia ------ Dea all, We would like to invite you to join the APRICOT 2017 BoF Session on Community Wireless Mesh Networking which will be held on 28 February 2017, 17:30-19:00. Details of the BoF can be found below. Date: Tuesday, 28 February 2017, Time: 17:30-19:00 Venue: VIP 3 & 4, Sheraton Saigon Hotel & Towers Summary: Community Wireless Mesh Networks (CWMN) are an excellent alternative to provide affordable access to the Internet, especially in underserved areas. In recent years, CWMN have emerged as a technology that can work on a small scale and which permits community participation as well as local economic development and empowerment. Successful examples around the Asia-Pacific on CWMN range from a desire to connect the unconnected, supporting access to information during natural disasters or simply doing research on wireless networking. The aim of this BoF is to discuss the concept of community wireless networks, the various models employed and technical considerations. The session will bring together practitioners who have experience in planning and deploying community wireless networks. The goal of the session is to expand knowledge on the topic, share technical lessons learnt and encourage others to get involved in the area of community wireless networks. Speakers: Internet Society InterLab/AIT Others TBC --- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Sylvia Cadena | APNIC Foundation | Head of Programs | sylvia(a)apnic.net<mailto:sylvia@apnic.net> http://www.apnic.foundation<http://www.apnic.foundation/> ISIF Asia | http://www.isif.asia<http://www.isif.asia/> FB ISIF.asia | G+ ISIFAsia | @ISIF_Asia 6 Cordelia Street, South Brisbane, QLD, 4101 Australia | PO Box 3646 Tel: +61 7 3858 3100 | Fax: +61 7 3858 3199 * Love trees.

Request for Comments on the Declaration

by Luca Belli

Hi all, As we discussed during our call, last week, it is time to have a final round of comments to wrap up the discussion on the Declaration on Community Connectivity. This does not mean that the Declaration will be cast in stone for the next 20 years but it seems that we all agree on the benefits of having a shared document setting a shared definitions and principles. Here is the latest version of the Declaration. https://pad.codigosur.org/GuadalajaraDeclaration Please provide your final comments and remarks by 15 February. Particularly, feel free to share your perspective on whether to keep the paragraph on CN policy (i.e. point 4) in the Declaration or separate it in order to include it in a different document. Thanks a lot and have an excellent day. Luca

Some links containing history of CNs

by Carlos Rey-Moreno

Hi everyone, at the GAIA meeting last week we chatted a bit about the "first" community networks. Armin Medosch wrote a bit about them on the "The Rise of Network Commons" http://thenextlayer.org/ The site is down now, but yesterday was up, so I guess they will solve it soon. Marco Zennaro also mentioned a network in Denmark an some events around it that for him set somehow the beginning of the movement. Some links below. Apparently, the network is no longer operational, so it would interesting to understand what happened for such a seminal work to stop operating. https://www.apc.org/es/news/wireless/europe/fresh-air-and- free-networks-denmark https://freifunk.net/sc2004/ https://freifunk.net/sc2004/StoryBehind.html https://wiki.freifunk.net/Fresh_Air_Free_Networks_2004 http://www.slideshare.net/Catharine24/advance-use-of-mikrotik-in Hope it helps carlos -- Carlos Rey-Moreno, PhD PostDoctoral Fellow University of the Western Cape Zenzeleni Networks: zenzeleni.net https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxTPSWMX26M Cel: +27 (0) 76 986 3633 Skype: carlos.reymoreno Twitter: Creym
