Fwd: [ICT4S] Call for contributions to The Second Workshop on Digitally Enabled Sharing and Sustainability (DESS)

by Michael J. Oghia

FYI everyone, seems relevant to our work Best, -Michael ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: pouri <pouri(a)ifi.uzh.ch> Date: Sun, Mar 1, 2020 at 12:30 PM Subject: [ICT4S] Call for contributions to The Second Workshop on Digitally Enabled Sharing and Sustainability (DESS) To: <ict4s(a)lists.ifi.uzh.ch> Dear Colleagues We are cordially inviting submissions to The Second Workshop on Digitally Enabled Sharing and Sustainability (DESS) that will be held this year in conjunction with the 7th international conference on ICT for Sustainability (ICT4S 2020) in Bristol, UK. Overview The sharing economy is a prime example of the power of ICT as an enabler of change in socio-economic structures. New forms of sharing, enabled by online platforms, are changing not only patterns of consumption, but also social relationships and economic structures. The affordability (low-cost or free services), improved accessibility (via smartphones and other digital end-user devices), and convenience (real-time information available at fingertips) of digital sharing facilitates access to a variety of resources beyond the constraints of traditional sharing. This unprecedented efficiency of sharing results in an optimization of resource consumption by increasingly turning the idle and unproductive time of resources into productive utilization. Increased efficiency, however, can trigger additional demand (rebound effect). From an environmental perspective, the additional demand for services in the DSE may cancel out the savings effect of increased efficiencies; leading new environmental problems caused by rebound effects. From a social point of view, it is also important to investigate which types of the digital sharing economy contribute to providing a decent life for its participants or may, conversely, cause more concerns regarding unfair working conditions and other socio-economic issues. Questions of sustainability-related contributions or issues of digital sharing are not thoroughly resolved yet, even the academic discourse identifying them is still in its initial stages. Sharpening and discussing such questions will assist us in understanding the long-term potentials of the digital sharing economy, whether positive or negative, to change people's lives and the global environment as well. Participants This workshop aims to initiate motivating discussions and lightening talks among interested people from academia, including PhD students, participants from industry, and anyone who has an interest in the topic. Submissions We invite short papers (Max. 5 pages) and short position paper (1-2 pages) for presentation and motivating discussions at the session. Participation without own contributions are also welcome. Deadline for submission: 15 April 2020 Feedback: within two weeks after submission Camera-ready: 15 May 2020 Workshop date: 26 June 2020 For more information, visit https://www.ifi.uzh.ch/en/isr/news/news/DESS2-Workshop.html If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me at pouri(a)ifi.uzh.ch.

Re: [DC3] [netsociety] Excellent News from Melanie & Felix

The Brazilian Telecoms Regulator ANATEL has explicitly and officially recognized Community Networks as an option for Internet access in Brazil and, while doing so, and explicitly mentions (and links) “The Community Network Manual” (2018 outcome of the IGF Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity) in the rational for this decision. https://www.anatel.gov.br/setorregulado/component/content/article/2-uncateg… This is, to date, the biggest country on hearth explicitly recognising the value of CNs. The creation of CNs in Brazil was already possible, as simplified ISPs, since 2017 (see our study here on CN in Latin America here https://www.internetsociety.org/resources/doc/2018/community-networks-in-la… ) but this is the first time ANATEL officially uses the CN terminology providing both legal and technical guidance (using the CN Manual!) on how to create them. This is not only important for Brazil but also represent another*piece of concrete evidence that the IGF is not a mere talking shop and when people want to use the IGF process to produce meaningful outcomes, they can. And, importantly, IGF outputs can have real impact on digital policies. My sincerest congratulations to ALL those who dedicated time to development and use of the CN Manual, particularly the members of the IGF Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity that are on on this list! All the best Luca * In case you are looking for other concrete examples, please find a selection below: - In 2018, the inclusion of the Zero Rating Map (developed by DCNN) in the State of the Internet Report of the French Telecom Regulator ARCEP https://www.arcep.fr/uploads/tx_gspublication/report-state-internet-2018_co… - In 2016 the inclusion of the Recommendations on Terms of Service and Human Rights in the ToS and HR the joint FGV & Council of Europe report on the subject https://www.coe.int/en/web/freedom-expression/home/-/asset_publisher/RAupmF… The Recommendations were later used for the elaboration of the CoE Recommendation (2018)2 of the Committee of Ministers on the roles and responsibilities of internet intermediaries https://search.coe.int/cm/Pages/result_details.aspx?ObjectID=0900001680790e… - In 2013 the inclusion of the Model Framework on Net Neutrality in this expert report ( https://rm.coe.int/16805a09ca )that originated the elaboration of the CoE Recommendation CM/Rec(2016)1of the Committee of Ministers on network neutrality https://search.coe.int/cm/Pages/result_details.aspx?ObjectID=09000016805c1e… 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*www.c… <http://www.cyberbrics.info/> | www.CPDP.lat <http://www.CPDP.lat> *

Excellent news from Brazil

by Luca Belli

Dear all, I just want to share some excellent news from Brazil. The Brazilian Telecoms Regulator Anatel has officially recognized Community Networks as an option for Internet access and explicitly mentions (and links) our 2018 outcome "The Community Network Manual" in the decision. https://www.anatel.gov.br/setorregulado/component/content/article/2-uncateg… This is, to date, the biggest country on hearth officially recognizing CN and it is largely due to the excellent and incessant work of many members of this list!

Re: [DC3] Environmental sustainability at RightsCon 2020

by Michael J. Oghia

Hi Nico, It's my pleasure, thank YOU for voicing your support for this! I especially like this line: "Repairability, upgradability and long lasting design strategies need to be applied to the whole process in tech manufacturing." I've been advocating for this now for years, so I appreciate that it comes from you given your experience in the CN community. Also, you're absolutely right about sharing (and email lists, and many other seemingly ubiquitous or inconsequential actions of our digital lives). In case you think you'll be at RightsCon and would like to host a session on anything related to these points or to your work at Altermundi, I highly encourage it! Although I won't be in Costa Rica, I hope to see you again soon. It's always a pleasure, and you know you can always count on me for solidarity. Keep up the amazing work you do! And have a very happy holiday all! -Michael On Sat, Dec 21, 2019 at 5:41 AM Nicolas Pace <nicopace(a)altermundi.net> wrote: > Hi Michael, > Thanks for bringing this up. > I think there are very important points that need to be rised in relation > to this point. > Repairability, upgradability and long lasting design strategies need to be > applied to the whole process in tech manufacturing. > Then something a colleague had been mentioning to me is the environmental > cost of media sharing: it looks like a harmful actions, but because it is > such a massive phenomenon it's environmental footprint needs to be > understood. > Also, how CNs create more organic paths for the information and bring back > the power to communities implies that they can do direct action into them. > Some quick thoughts...

Environmental sustainability at RightsCon 2020

by Michael J. Oghia

Hi everyone, I want to bring this to your attention in case you're not aware. Each year, Access Now hosts RightsCon <https://www.rightscon.org/> – the world's leading summit on human rights in the digital age. RightsCon 2020 will be hosted in *Costa Rica* from *9-12 June*, and they have invited me to join the programme committee as the co-chair of the Environmental Sustainability and Human Resilience track. Given our climate crisis, the lack of consideration to sustainability within the ICT ecosystem, and the impact that mineral mining, e-waste dumping, irresponsible production and consumption, and a host of other related issues have a significant impact on both the environment and human rights, it's imperative that we ensure this topic is on the agenda and colesque around it as a community. If you or anyone you know is interested in submitting a session, proposals can be submitted via this online form <https://rightscon.secure-platform.com/> until *14 January 2020*. In case you have any questions, you can check out the submission guide <https://www.rightscon.org/your-guide-to-a-successful-proposal/> or contact me directly. Please share this call with anyone you think may be interested. Best, -Michael Oghia
