Draft Guidelines to EU Policy-Makers on Community Networks

by Félix Tréguer

Dear all, At netCommons.eu, we're expanding on the open letter from last year [1] to move towards guidelines to European policy-makers on steps that can be taken to support the development of Community Networks and adapt the regulatory framework accordingly. The draft document takes stock of the new rules agreed upon at the EU level as a result of our work with European CNs and digital rights groups, using these provisions as a platform to start a dialogue between CNs across Europe and regulators. We will be releasing that policy brief next month. In the meantime, any comment/feedback would be greatly appreciated. https://etherpad.netcommons.eu/p/wp4-guidelines_policymakers Thanks, Félix [1] https://netcommons.eu/?q=news/open-letter-eu-policy-makers-community-networ…

Seminar on the Governance of Submarine Cables

by Luca Belli

Hi all, I remember some weeks ago it emerged interest in submarine cable, on the list. At FGV, we are going to host a day-long seminar on the Governance of Submarine Cables, on Wednesday, in partnership with CGI.br, the French Consulate, Internet Sans Frontières and the Brazilian Consumer Protection Institute. See https://www.cg.org.br/noticia/releases/seminario-inedito-sobre-operacao-e-u… If anyone in the Rio area is interested, sejam benvindos :) The event will be in Portuguese but our FGV fellow Félix Blanc will be in Paris for the IGF (he is going to organise an IGF workshop on the same topic) and I can put anyone interested in contact with him to have further insight on our debates and on future work, if anyone is interested. All the best Luca

DC3 IGF Session

by Luca Belli

Dear all, As the IGF is approaching, I just wanted to share the updated agenda of the DC3 Session COMMUNITY NETWORKS: When The Unconnected Build Connectivity and remind you not to forget IGF registration https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2018-registration Here is the link to the DC3 session https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/community-networks-when-th… I have also the great pleasure to announce that the "The Community Network Manual" which is the 2018 DC3 outcome will be released as a joint publication of the ITU, FGV and ISOC. The book is going to be finalised by tomorrow and will be send to press by Friday to be ready for the IGF. Of course, free copies of the volume will be distributed at the session (courtesy of ISOC) and the book will be released under Creative Commons License. The IGF Secretariat has requested we identify 3 messages before the session. It is a quite curious request, as we cannot identify "messages" before having a debate but as we have to comply with UN formalities (although probably no one is even going to read the content of the "messages"), I suggest we propose something based on the session workshop description. My proposal is to utilise the following 3 "messages": 1. Community networks (CNs) improve connectivity while empowering Internet users. Community networks rely on the active participation of local communities in the design, development and management of network infrastructure as a common resource. 2. CNs give rise to new infrastructures, new governance models and new business opportunities and facilitate the free flow of information and knowledge, filling the lacunae left by the traditional Internet access-provision paradigm. 1. The Community Network Manual is the 2018 outcome of the Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity (DC3). Its goal is to provide guidance on how to build, organise and deploy CNs. It offers toolkits, guidelines and instructions to be used by all interested stakeholders for the concrete constructions of such networks. All interested stakeholder are invited to join DC3 members for presentation of the CN Manual and to freely share it. Please feel free to share any comments and suggestions All the best Luca [http://www.fgv.br/mailing/2018/direito_rio/assinatura/fgv_direito_rio.jpg] Luca Belli, PhD Professor of Internet Governance and Regulation [http://www.fgv.br/mailing/2018/direito_rio/assinatura/fgv_tel.jpg]+55 21 3799 5763 t @1lucabelli<https://twitter.com/1lucabelli> [http://www.fgv.br/mailing/2018/direito_rio/assinatura/fgv_direito_rio_map.j… de Botafogo, 190 13º andar Botafogo - Rio de Janeiro, RJ - CEP: 22250-900 [http://www.fgv.br/mailing/2018/direito_rio/assinatura/fgv_ass_email.jpg] luca.belli(a)fgv.br<mailto:luca.belli@fgv.br> [http://www.fgv.br/mailing/2018/direito_rio/assinatura/fgv_ass_url.jpg]inter… <https://internet-governance.fgv.br/>

RES: RES: Seminar on the Governance of Submarine Cables

by Luca Belli

Roger, Thanks a lot for the comments I agree with Ramon. I think investments should be very welcome but the goal should be to discourage/avoid predatory behaviours All the best De: Ramon Roca [mailto:ramon.roca@guifi.net] Enviada em: quarta-feira, 31 de outubro de 2018 16:06 Para: Roger Baig Viñas <roger.baig(a)guifi.net>; Leandro Navarro <leandro(a)pangea.org>; Luca Belli <luca.belli(a)fgv.br>; Dynamic Coalition on Connected Communities <dc3(a)listas.altermundi.net> Assunto: Re: RES: [DC3] Seminar on the Governance of Submarine Cables El 31/10/18 a les 12:07, Roger Baig Viñas ha escrit: In any case the universal format proposal is intended to discourage any private investment I would say "speculative practices" rather than "any private investment". Private investment is still very welcome, but not speculative (i.e. exhausting the availability to increase pricing / block competition).

Fwd: <DKIM> The 514 Error Code

by Michael J. Oghia

Hi everyone, Please see below about some resources that someone sent to another list about creating a low-tech website. Best, -Michael ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Yann protonmail <bonjour(a)yannsaintclair.com> Date: Tue, Oct 30, 2018 at 1:08 PM Subject: Re: <DKIM> The 514 Error Code To: <internal-wwca(a)w3.org> Hi everyone, I joined this group few days ago (and I’m a bit disappointed by the lake of activities but your recent messages motivated me). I’m not a "tech guy », I’m just a interaction designer so I won’t be as specific as some messages. But your conversation about the web and « renewable energy » and the « drawback » of their intermittency, reminded me a project (it’s more like an experiment) I seen some weeks ago, it’s a bit specific and anecdotic but I hope this will give you some input of a very practical case about this topic : https://www.lowtechmagazine.com/2018/09/how-to-build-a-lowtech-website.html In short, it’s a website with a server powered by solar energy, there is a battery (12V 7Ah) and the point of the design is to by as efficient as possible (very few css, no custom font, using dithering, etc.) but in staying attractive and ergonomic. The author of the blog also write an article about « how to build a low tech internet » giving some clue about what we are discussing : https://www.lowtechmagazine.com/2015/10/how-to-build-a-low-tech-internet.ht…

Researchers with relevant, recent results are encouraged to apply for this prize, which will offer them the opportunity to present and discuss their work with the engineers, network operators, policy makers and scientists that participate in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and its research arm, the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF). Third-party nominations for this prize are also encouraged. The goal of the Applied Networking Research Prize is to recognize the best new ideas in networking, and bring them to the IETF and IRTF especially in cases where they would not otherwise see much exposure or discussion. The Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) consists of: • invited talk at the IRTF Open Meeting • travel grant to attend a week-long IETF meeting (airfare, hotel, registration, stipend) • cash prize of $1000 (USD) • recognition at the IETF plenary • invitation to related social activities • potential for additional travel grants to future IETF meetings, based on community feedback The Applied Networking Research Prize will be awarded once per calendar year. Each year, several winners will be chosen and invited to present their work at one of the three IETF meetings during the year. HOW TO NOMINATE Only a single person can be nominated for the award. The basis of the nomination is a peer-reviewed, original journal, conference or workshop paper they authored, which was recently published or accepted for publication. The nominee must be one of the main authors of the nominated paper. Both self-nominations (nominating one’s own paper) and third-party nominations (nominating someone else’s paper) are encouraged. The nominated paper should provide a scientific foundation for possible future IETF engineering work or IRTF research and experimentation, analyze the behavior of Internet protocols in operational deployments or realistic testbeds, make an important contribution to the understanding of Internet scalability, performance, reliability, security or capability, or otherwise be of relevance to ongoing or future IETF or IRTF activities. Applicants must briefly describe how the nominated paper relates to these goals, and are encouraged to describe how a presentation of these research results would foster their transition into new IETF engineering or IRTF experimentation, or otherwise seed new activities that will have an impact on the real-world Internet. The goal of the Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) is to foster the transitioning of research results into real-world benefits for the Internet. Therefore, applicants must indicate that they (or the nominee, in case of third-party nominations) are available to attend at least one of the year’s IETF meetings in person and in its entirety. Nominations must include: • the name and email address of the nominee • a bibliographic reference to the published (or accepted) nominated paper • a PDF copy of the nominated paper • a statement that describes how the nominated paper fulfills the goals of the award • a statement about which of the year’s IETF meetings the nominee would be available to attend in person and in its entirety • a brief biography or CV of the nominee • optionally, any other supporting information (link to nominee’s web site, etc.) Nominations are submitted via the submission site at https://irtf.org/anrp/2019/. In exceptional cases, nominations may also be submitted by email to anrp(a)irtf.org. IMPORTANT DATES Applications close: November 11, 2018 (hard) Notifications: December 3, 2018 SPONSORS The Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) is supported by the Internet Society (ISOC) in coordination with the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF).
