by Carlos Rey-Moreno

Hi all, I am writing to share information about an internship program that is being led by Alternatives, APC member based in Montreal. The International Youth Internship Program (IYIP) is focused on *'technology and communication at the heart of social change'. * Internship placements are available to individuals between the ages of 19 and 30 who have a post-secondary diploma and are legally allowed to work in Canada. The placements are intended to provide international experience, skills and knowledge that will prepare young people in Canada for future employment. https://www.alternatives.ca/en/content/story/participate-new-international-… APC will host 3 interns in South Africa, with expected start date of September 2018: - Communication and Liaison Intern <https://www.alternatives.ca/en/opportunity/communication-and-liaison-intern…> - ICT Policy Analyst <https://www.alternatives.ca/en/opportunity/ict-policy-analyst-association-p…> - African Community Networks Project Intern <https://www.alternatives.ca/en/opportunity/african-community-networks-proje…> As part of the initiative, Alternatives covers the cost of transportation, accommodation, travel insurance, and subsistence costs for the interns. Training and support is provided throughout the entire period of the internship. To be eligible for internship, candidates must: - Be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident or be legally allowed to work in Canada; - Have a post-secondary diploma and have obtained a degree or diploma from a university, college, post-secondary technology school, post-secondary institute or CEGEP (general education college and professional in Quebec); - Be between the ages of 19 to 30 when the final selection is made (when the contracts between the trainee and Alternatives are signed); - Have never participated in the IYIP. The selection process for internship placements will begin 24 May 2018.

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
