CNs, Indigenous Communities, and one of the closing words at IGF 2017 - Matt Rantanen

by Jane Coffin

Hi All – Matt Rantanen (Cree Indian and much more) was asked to speak in the closing segment of the IGF. He is a community builder, CN manager, and a great colleague. Thanks go to Renata, Judith, Glenn and others who are making sure that indigenous communities have a seat at the table (ISOC and APC helping there, too, along with CNs around the planet). Recognition of the “Closing words” are here… "indigenous peoples of the world should have a seat at the table on Internet governance and be included in the decision-making level of the process." https://www.unog.ch/unog/website/news_media.nsf/(httpNewsByYear_en)/0F063B1… I have a vid, but looking for a better one.

Creating an enabling website for community networks

by Raoul Plommer

Dear all, I thought of reminding everyone of our initial goal of creating an interactive website, that would take people's input on their circumstances (location, existing hardware, legal spectrum, amount of people) and give a possible configuration for hardware and software that would be needed to build a community network with those given parameters. I realize that we are still at the phase of collecting information from community networks from around the globe for this purpose, but we should also start thinking of the next phase, where we start making this data usable in the way I just described. I think we could be doing this by tagging and categorizing the informational resources we're collecting for our current website, instead of just listing links to external sources. Since many of us are at the IGF, I think it would be great if we could have a little brainstorming session on this effort. I think even half an hour around lunchtime would already advance this goal significantly - categorizing information at the collection phase would probably save us a lot of work later, when we'd start to have dozens or even hundreds of documents on our website. This is the final day and there seems to be an hour gap between 14 and 15. Maybe we could meet at the Serpent cafe? Hoping to see you there, -Raoul

LibreRouter report - ahead of the IGF

by Sylvia Cadena

Hi everyone, As the IGF is approaching, and there are so many sessions looking at how can we really connect the next billion, it is perfect timing to invite you to explore the Final Report produced by the team of the LibreRouter project, available for download from the Seed Alliance website. http://seedalliance.net/librerouter-south-south-collaboration-for-local-acc… The work of the Seed Alliance to support Community Wireless has been funded over the last 2 years by IDRC and it will be enhanced by the contribution from Internet Society so we see this report as a wonderful opportunity to reflect on what comes next and the challenges ahead, not only for those on the field working so hard to get this ideas off the grown and into working products, but for all of us, committed to expand and improve local access. Your friends and colleagues Carlos and Nico, and all the people that has rooted for them and got on board this project (mentioned on the report) deserve an applause! Well done! I hope it is just the beginning for LibreRouter and that we will continue to learn more as the devices get deployed and more networks get connected. LibreRouter team will be at the IGF, and presenting at the WS Workshop 71 about devices/infrastructure, content and innovative business models as drivers for connectivity http://sched.co/CSCw and will be at the Seed Alliance booth on Wednesday to do a demonstration of the prototype. If you are interested to join, please let Carolina Caeiro from LACNIC know, as she is organizing it. Help us to spread the word about this development! I wish you all the very best at the IGF and safe travels back home to spend Christmas and New Year’s with friends and family. Best wishes for 2018!

DC3 logo and the cover picture that we have on our Twitter account

by Raoul Plommer

Hello everyone, I'm just doing some finishing touches on https://comcon.nu and I wasn't able to find the logo and cover picture that we have on our Twitter account from my emails. Does somebody have these at hand? I could still add them before our meeting on Tuesday. This is basically the first draft of the site, it's by no means finished, but at least it's working and browsable now. I'd also like to add some social media links and realised that we didn't even have a facebook page, so I made one: https://www.facebook.com/DC3-Dynamic-Coalition-on-Community-Connectivity-73… This URL can probably be changed into something catchier. We should also make a Twitter post about the DC3 being here in IGF. Even a few times a year with 100% solid tweets would be good, creating some history for the account etc -Raoul

One example is this article from Vice Magazine <https://crm.apc.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=6305&qid=380…>.

There are many parallels between zebra companies and local access initiatives. * For those interested in community cellular networks, Steve Song reflects in this post <https://crm.apc.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=6279&qid=380…> about the convenience of using 3G or 4G. *6. Regulation* * The South African government has published an invitation to comment on their Electronic Communications Amendment Act <https://crm.apc.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=6309&qid=380…>. This amendment has important consequences for the way local access initiatives will be able, for instance, to access spectrum or government funding. Deadline 31 January. * The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the communications regulator in the United States, has released a proposal to "Restore Internet Freedom" <https://crm.apc.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=6310&qid=380…> which many consider a rule against net neutrality. * In response to the US developments on net neutrality, India reiterated its commitment to protect it.

In line with the report's recommendation about the need to develop local content infrastructure in order to support a robust internet economy across Africa, EdgeMicro is working on a solution <https://crm.apc.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=6314&qid=380…> to deploy data centre containers right at cell towers. * After lots of work and too much time, Rhizomatica have finally released their Community Cellular Manual in English <https://crm.apc.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=6315&qid=380…>.
