Compilation of Toolkits as DC3 Annual Outcome?

by Luca Belli

Hi all, There is one point that has been left unexplored form our RightsCon conversation i.e. the suggestion to elaborate a compilation of existing toolkits, instruction technologies to develop CNs. Although we are already in June, I think it would be feasible to organize a brief booklet featuring short contributions illustrating e.g. the Commotion Construction Kit, the Mazi Toolkit, the LibreRouter, etc. I think it would be very valuable to consolidate such resources into a CN guide/manual that could be the DC3 annual outcome. What do you think? If you think it could be a good idea I can share a draft “call for resources” All the best Luca [FGV Direito Rio] Luca Belli, PhD Senior Researcher Head of Internet Governance @ FGV<http://internet-governance.fgv.br/> luca.belli(a)fgv.br +55 21 3799 5763 @1lucabelli<https://twitter.com/1lucabelli> [http://www.fgv.br/mailing/Direito_Rio/assinatura_email/Ondas.png] On Fri, 18 May 2018 at 05:18, Luca Belli <luca.belli(a)fgv.br<mailto:luca.belli@fgv.br>> wrote: Dear all, (apologies for typos, I am writing fom a device with no corrector) Yesterday, we had a very interesting and fruitful meeting at rightscon. Below a brief recap of the ideas that emerged from the discussion. General considerations: First, it would be interesting to dedicate the 2018 DC3 outcome to a compilation of exsiting toolkits (e.g. Mazi tooltik), instructions (e.g. Commotion), technologies (Libre Router), etc. that allow people to concretely build community networks, rather than elaborating another book. Second, it would be good to dedicate part of the DC3 session to "let the unconnected speak for themselves" i.e. bringing into the debate people that are currently attempting to build CNs, to lat them share the difficulties they are facing and discuss with DC3 members how to solve them. Nico Pace and Leandro pointed out that there are a lot of commmunities that are attempting to build CNs that would be willing to share their experience. Third, it would be very interesting to dedicate part of the session to discussing partnerships with stakeholders with whom we can establish unexplored cooperation. IFLA (Donna was present at the meeting) was an obvious exemple but many others can be added to the list (e.g. community radio, etc). Lastly, (this point partly overlap with the previous one) it would be very interesting to bring into the discussion and and establish cooperation with developers of technologies that can be compelentary to the development of CN e.g. blockchain projetc (e.g. delife.io<http://delife.io> which was presented by Jan who participated to the meeting), IoT solutions developers, etc. Important question: Which format could be the best suited for a compilation of toolkits, etc? A specific website? A webpage of the DC3 site? Something else? Specific considerations: It would be very challenging to discuss all the points mentioned above during the DC3 session (even if the 90 minutes slot has been reinstored, after many participants complained about last year 60 min slot). Therefore it would be advisable to put forward a workshop proposal, besides the DC3 session. The session DC3 could have a structure along these lines - presentation of (at least some of) the initiatives featured in the compilation/catalogue of toolkits (40 min) - discussion with people in their early phase of CN development to undertand the challeges they are facing (30 min) - discussion with potential partners (20 min) The discussion/presentation of technologies and initiatives that can compelement CN development is so broad that could be the object of a specific session. Stavroula and Harris, from Mazi, kindly volunteered to take the lead to develop the workshop proposal (deadline 27 May) for a collaborative workshop where such initiatives/technologies can be presented. Info on how to develop a workshop propsal can be found here https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2018-call-for-workshop… (pay particular attention to "workshop evaluations") Here is the online form to submit the proposal https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2018-workshop-proposal… Here the list of the workshop approved last year to have some exemples http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2017-workshops Please feel free to share comments and add any info I may have forgotten or correct anything I may have misreported All the best Luca -- Harris Niavis University of Thessaly (UTH) Centre for Research & Technology Hellas (CERTH) t: +30 2421 306070 s: niavisharris e: harniavis(a)gmail.com<mailto:harniavis@gmail.com>

This bill restores local authority in a profoundly impactful way, offering a roadmap for other states concerned with setting their communities up for success. In other news: Frontier Communications is now under investigation by the state regulatory commission for its role in harming the growth of local connectivity in a small town in Greater Minnesota; we sit down with leaders of the Downeast Broadband Utility in rural Maine to discuss rural broadband and local partnerships; and the University of Wisconsin Center for Cooperatives published a report on the role cooperatives play in spreading Internet access infrastructure. New Hampshire Sets the Example: Expands Local Authority for Broadband Investment On May 30th, New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu signed SB 170, a bill local community leaders had watched for more than a year. The measure will allow municipalities to bond for publicly owned Internet network infrastructure. Advocates, local elected officials, and citizens have been seeking the authority for years. SB 170 may raise some questions as it's implemented, but the bill is significant because it symbolizes this state's decision to expand local authority for broadband investment, rather than limit the power of local communities.Read the final version of SB 170 here....Read the article...

FW: [Internet Policy] WEBCAST TODAY: NTIA Spectrum Policy Symposium

by Jane Coffin

Hi All – There will be an interesting “spectrum symposium” today in Washington. See below from the awesome Joly MacFie of ISOC NY Chapter. This is more the high-level policy-related aspects, but it is noteworthy that NTIA is bringing out the DOC Secretary (“Secretary” = Minister in the US). For those that may not be aware, NTIA manages “public” or government spectrum vs the FCC. FCC manages private sector/commercial spectrum. And, FCC is part of NTIA’s long-standing (over 50 years) Interagency Radio Advisory Committee (IRAC). The IRAC is the first inter-agency (mulit-ministry/multi-govt org) coordinating body. NTIA manages the IRAC and entities like FCC, Transportation, Energy, Defense, and many more are on that committee. In any event, it may be of interest as they may signal a policy/tech direction during this event.

Ford Foundation call

by Michael J. Oghia

Hi everyone, I'm not sure if someone's already shared this (if so, apologies for cross posting). The Ford Foundation is soliciting proposals for research on digital infrastructure: https://www.fordfoundation.org/ideas/equals-change-blog/posts/a-call-for-re… I think the call is open until Wednesday. , So, it's a tight deadline, but doable. I have a much longer and fleshed-out version of my DC3 report from 2017 that I'm thinking of submitting (it's 80+ pages now). We'll see what happens (not too much interest in sustainable networks, these days it seems. If that's not the case, let me know. I'd love to secure funding to finish it). Best, -Michael
