Our website is down.. for how long now?

by Raoul Plommer

I just visited the http://commconnectivity.org/ and it doesn't resolve. Will we continue the work on the https://comcon.nu and redirect this domain that no one wanted to maintain? If people want, I can share editor credentials on comcon.nu and we should really keep updating it rather regularly AND share those posts in the social media, if we actually want some wider traction with our collaboration. I created all of this after our meeting in Mexico and I think we should really start showing (and updating) our presence now. I think this should really be a crowdsourced effort, since we're all volunteers here. -Raoul

2019 Outcome and IGF + RightsCon Sessions

by Luca Belli

Hi all, As the deadline to submit a draft description for our IGF session is approaching<https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2019-call-for-dynamic-…> (12 April), I would like to start a conversation on what could be our 2019 outcome and, therefore, how could we better use our IGF session (and our recently approved RightsCon session!) to present and discuss such outcome. Having already elaborated quite substantial research on CNs, I think we could try to build upon the elements we already have and I would like to propose we sketch a Model Policy for Community Networks. Over the past 4 years, we have been very successful in demonstrating that CN developers are serious partners and CNs are feasible options, and we have demonstrated this with very sound research and engaging an incredibly wide range of actors (including the ITU). Besides the research demonstrating the feasibility and interest of CNs and instructions on how to build them, I think it may be time to provide also instructions for policymakers on how to facilitate CNs. What do you think? The main elements of what could be a Model Policy for Community Networks are already present in the works that we have developed collectively or separately (the Declaration on Community Connectivity; the netCommons the Open letter to EU policy makers, the Declaration of the First Latin American Summit of Community Network, etc) and, therefore, I think this effort would be mainly an effort of consolidation and discussion. And, of course, we could use the RightsCon session and IGF session to present preliminary versions and receive feedback from a wider spectrum of individuals/stakeholders, to better structure our work. If list members think this idea may be worth pursuing, I could start consolidating the docs mentioned above (if anyone wants to help, be my guests :)) and then circulate the draft to start working on it collaboratively. Looking forward to hearing comments 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/>

Scaling Power for Global Prosperity

by Michael J. Oghia

Hi everyone, I want to share this article <https://ssir.org/articles/entry/scaling_power_for_global_prosperity#> with you all about ending energy poverty and what is needed to address electrification. I particularly liked this paragraph (emphasis mine): *"The mobile phone revolution is often cited as an example that can be replicated for energy. But mobile communications technology actually exemplifies the need for high-energy systems. Charging phone batteries accounts for less than 1 percent of the energy required for a smartphone to operate. The other 99 percent is needed by the wider economy to manufacture the phone, and to run the cell towers and data centers that enable the phone to function. The mobile phone is a high-energy technology masquerading as a low-energy one."* Best, -Michael
