These might better explain some of what I've been trying to say and why
starting with the radios isn't the way to understand connectivity. These are
drafts so I would appreciated feedback and aren't ready for prime time
sharing beyond this list.

Hi all,
There have been many comments on the Declaration over the past weeks
here is the latest version https://pad.codigosur.org/GuadalajaraDeclaration
Please take some time to read it and share any further comments.
Tomorrow, during the call, it would be good to discuss if we want to include point 4 (Policy Affecting Connectivity and Community Networks) in the Declaration or leave it to a further document.
Tomorro,after the call, I will upload a consolidated version so that we could try to have a finalised text by the end of the month.
All the best
Luca
Thought that might be of interest for some people in this list...

Estimados miembros de RedLatam,
ARTICULO 19 Brasil está contenta de compartir con ustedes publicación:
“Como Montar e Regularizar um Provedor Comunitário”. El objetivo
desta publicación es impulsionar la implementación de proveedores de
internet comunitários. El texto está dividido en dos grandes partes:
una se refiere a las condiciones legales para el establecimiento de un
proveedor en Brasil y la otra es una parte técnica que explica paso
por paso las posibilidades de como construir un proveedor en una
comunidad. ARTICULO 19 Brasil pretende extender el concepto de
proveedores comunitario con la distribuición de la publicación y con
workshops que seran realizados en 2017. La publicación está em
portugués, pero la compartimos por la facilidad lectura que tenemos
nosotros que hablamos idiomas latinos. Puedes descargar la publicación
completa aquí: www.bit.ly/guiaprovedores
Un gran abrazo,
Laura Tresca.

FYI everyone. Only 11 people responded, unfortunately, but while the sample
size is too small to be meaningful it is quite varied.

Subject: [DC] 2016 issue survey results and suggestion for 2017
Sent by: "DC" <dc-bounces(a)intgovforum.org>
------------------------------
Today is one month after the IGF, and I have just collected the results
from the issue surveys which were held open until now. These are attached
as CSV spreadsheets. If any DC would like their results in graphical
format instead, please let me know and I can do this for you.
Despite better efforts at publicising the surveys and encouraging people to
complete them, the participation rate was still very low, indicating that
more work is required. The most responses to any survey was 25, for
"Connecting the Unconnected". The least, perhaps surprisingly, was for
"Internet Rights and Principles", with only 4. Most of the other DCs had
around 10 responses. These do not include the paper surveys, for which the
response rate was even more dismal (averaging less than 1), and which I
haven't even bothered reporting.
Factors that may have produced such a low response rate is that there was
no link to the surveys on the front page of the IGF website during the IGF
week or following, and that there was no email about the survey sent to all
IGF participants. On the other hand the link was tweeted from the official
IGF Twitter account, and the placement of our booth in the IGF Village was
quite good. So I would have expected a better response rate from the
outreach efforts that were taken.
Recommendations that I made in a previous email to this list (excuse the
repetition) were:
- We could ask people to do the surveys as part of IGF online
registration process
- We must have a permanent link to the survey on the IGF website - the
link is very hard to find right now
- We could somehow "gamify" the survey by awarding points or stickers,
or making it part of an IGF quest
- We should place a word limit on questions - some were too lengthy this
year
- We should also strictly enforce the five question limit - one DC had
ten questions this year
- There seemed to be some confusion about the shifts at the booth, with
some slots unattended, and others where there were more people than
expected
- Rather than a static booth which most people don't bother visiting, we
could have volunteers roving around with iPads to get responses to the
surveys (like the Imagining the Internet people did with their camera)
But a more fundamental rethink of the approach may be required. In my
view, there is a good match between the DCs' needs, and the Deliberative
Polling work that Stanford University has piloted in the last two IGFs.
This is because we have the material for people to deliberate on, but we
don't have an effective method to foster broad deliberation and feedback.
The Deliberative Polling team has the opposite problem: they have a method,
but they don't have ready-made materials to employ it on. Merging these
two projects seems to me like a perfect match.
If we were to do this, then in tandem, we should seek support from a donor
or foundation to fund this work, and should also secure the MAG's
commitment to properly integrate this work into the IGF as a mainstream,
supported, resourced and promoted IGF activity. (This in turn will require
that we have a strong advocate within the MAG.)
It will require a lot of additional effort and commitment, but clearly the
current approach is not working, so I think we have to do something. Is
anyone else on board with these ambitious plans for 2017?

If everyone is comfortable with Mumble (Plumble on Android), I'd suggest
we go for it. It's the less resource intensive Open Source option (to my
knowledge).
If downloading/installing Mumble poses a problem, then
http://meet.jit.si was also mentioned as an easier alternative. It might
not be as stable if we are many people.
In any case it would be good for everyone participating to test their
setup before this first call to prevent issues at the time of the meeting.
Cheers!

Hi guys,
I saw this today (and it ends by tomorrow).
Does anyone wrote something there or wants to do it?

Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to share with you the outcomes of the meeting with Global
Voices.
Global Voices is a volunteer comunity of Journalists and Translators
that curate, verify and translate trading news and stories that might
be missing on the internet.
You can check them out here: https://globalvoices.org/about/
Will send you some other emails to gather some information :)
Regards,
===
Hi guys,
It has been awesome to meet you.
Here there is a small brief of what we talked, and the next steps on
our relationship.
Please make the necessary corrections.
Community Networks (CN) are a way to fix Internet, through empowering
people to own their infrastructure and to grow it as they need, and to
promote local meaning that they can share with the rest of the
Internet.
As a short term goal, we agreed that:
* Global Voices (GV) can republish articles that we have already
published promoting local experiences on Community Connectivity. That
encourages translators to localize the articles to their own languages
and helps spread the word.
* GV can get in touch with local initiatives to tell their story
through articles.
* GV can help promoting localization initiatives that we run throught
their social networks.
* GV and CN can work together to build a project for the GV
Translation Exchange Program.
Next Steps:
1. Nicolas will collect a collection of articles that talk about our
CN initiatives
2. Nicolas will provide a global directory of initiatives
3. GV will repost articles or use them as a base for your articles
4. GV will get in touch with CN to make their voices raise
5. Nicolas will give GV our Social Networks so we can be in touch and
so GV can promote our translation actions when we have them ready
6. Nicolas will work on clarifying the actions to be taken to
translate the material, either for advocates to get involved, or to
build a project for the Translation Exchange Program.
Hope to keep working together with you!
Regards,
Hi all,
As someone noted on the list, it could be good to propose the debate of community connectivity at EuroDIG (the European IGF)
I have proposed to consider community connectivity as a Eurodig issue. The next Eurodig in Tallin in June. Here more info regarding the Eurodig process https://www.eurodig.org/index.php?id=154
Best wishes for an excellent 2017
