RightsCon

by Luca Belli

Dear all, As you may know, RightsCon will take place from 16 to 18 May In Toronto. Several DC3 members will be there and I think it would be an excellent opportunity to have a face to face meeting and start exchanging ideas on how to organize DC3 work until the IGF. I have booked a "meeting pod", on Wednesday 16, during lunch break, hoping this time slot will be suitable for everyone. (see gathering details below) The DC3 gathering will be right after this session on DIY toolkits for citizen inclusion & empowerment, where I will present on Network Self-determination http://sched.co/EHln Please feel free to share the details of the sessions on CNs that you participating to so that we can have a better idea of what session might be of particular interest for DC3 members.

FW: [gaia] IETF 102 - Montreal, Canada - 14-20 July - WG Meeting

by Jane Coffin

Folks – See note below from Leandro. Best, Jane Internet Society | www.internetsociety.org Skype: janercoffin Mobile/WhatsApp: +1.202.247.8429 From: gaia <gaia-bounces(a)irtf.org> on behalf of Leandro Navarro <leandro(a)ac.upc.edu> Date: Sunday, May 6, 2018 at 9:37 AM To: "gaia(a)irtf.org" <gaia(a)irtf.org> Subject: [gaia] IETF 102 - Montreal, Canada - 14-20 July - WG Meeting Hi everyone in GAIA, We’ll have a WG meeting as part of IETF 102 in Montreal. The exact day/time is not yet defined, but will be after ANRW’18 (Monday July 16). As with previous meetings, this is a great opportunity for those nearby to meet, share ideas, talk about projects, research, results, plans and discuss. Remote participation and presentation will be available. The event will have one part for presentations, and another to discuss about best current practices (and draft a document out of that). If you plan to come and present let us know off-list so we can prepare the agenda. Tell us before the end of this month to allocate a few slots, with preference for diversity (new speakers), and order of arrival. Regarding best current practices, our working idea is to collect case studies about different ways to develop networking infrastructures and services. Let us know if you have ideas about how to structure the document, its content, or willing to report on a specific experience. There are related reports or developments, please share to build a good list of sources, collaborations, references to develop this document. We can have a conference call sometime in June to discuss and prepare a proposal to discuss in our IETF 102 meeting. Regards, Jane and Leandro.

Big win for CNs in Mexico

by Michael J. Oghia

Hi everyone, I hope Peter and co. from Rhizomatica doesn't mind me sharing this, but I just saw this (congrats!): *Independent community network stands tall* – A Mexican civil society association has won a legal battle for the right of indigenous communities to establish and manage their own community networks. The ruling exempts the nonprofit community network operator from a hefty fee levied on traditional commercial providers, arguing that the continued availability of affordable voice and data services in these remote communities is important to uphold their basic human rights, including freedom of expression. https://globalvoices.org/2018/05/01/in-mexico-an-indigenous- community-telco-will-continue-to-operate-for-now/ Hard work well done! -Michael
