I just want to share with you the outcomes of my meeting with IEEE. The other meeting that comes tomorrow is with the guy from the Libraries. This is the email I sent to IEEE guys: --- Hi! It has been awesome to get together with you two! Let me just brief you about we have been talking about... please, add or correct anything you want on this. This is just a Draft, for us to share with each of our institutions: IEEE as the Global Technical Community acknowledges that promoting the expansion of Internet from bottom up through Community Networking is a viable way and would like to promote it. The Dynamic Coallision for Community Connectivity (DC3 for short) represents the global community of Community Networks build from bottom up, and have the will to grow in a sustainable way. IEEE and DC3 agree to work together to promote Community Networks as a mean to grow Internet in a sustainable and empowering way. These are the initiatives related directly with Community Networks that we have talked about: * DC3 will open and share the Courses on Community Network building (non-technical, 8 hours long) and the Diplomacy on Community Networks (technical, around 64 hours long). * IEEE will endorse the Courses on Community Network building and the Diplomacy on Community Networks. We will work together to take the courses from a simple endorsement to a certification if it can be. * IEEE, DC3 and the International Federation of Library Association and Institutions (IFLA) commit to work together on get tools for people to build their own networks and be able to be part of Internet. * With the involvement of the IFLA, we will coordinate with DC3, IEEE and the Libraries to have a pilot to give the courses on site and empower one community we will choose together. We will document the process in order to use them as an example for each organization to motivate the members on this initiative. * As a long term goal, we will encourage Engineers on the field around the world to promote Community Networks as a means to do Community work. We also talked about TV Whitespace, and the need for a global open standard protocol for exchanging spectrum usage information. We commited to get to our communities to know a little more about how things are going on IEEE side (IEEE 802 technical group). We share the concern to have an open standard protocol for exchanging spectrum usage information. On my side, I need to talk to my community about what needs to be done to open our content. On your side, you will talk with your people about the proposals and about what happened with TVWS inside TVWS. Hope to start working with you!

Fwd: [governance] Invite: Discussion at IGF on Internet Social Forum

by parminder

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [governance] Invite: Discussion at IGF on Internet Social Forum Date: Thu, 8 Dec 2016 00:39:08 +0200 From: Anriette Esterhuysen <anriette(a)apc.org> Reply-To: governance(a)lists.igcaucus.org, Anriette Esterhuysen <anriette(a)apc.org> Organization: Association for Progressive Communications To: bestbits(a)lists.bestbits.net <bestbits(a)lists.bestbits.net>, africafellows-igf-academy(a)igf.academy <africafellows-igf-academy(a)igf.academy>, AFRISIG Class of 2015 <afrisig(a)lists.apc.org>, Internet Governance <governance(a)lists.igcaucus.org> Dear colleagues To all those of you who are at the IGF in Guadalajara we would like to invite you to an informal discussion on the idea of convening an Internet Social Forum that will take place on Thursday, 8 December. A year or so ago a broad group of organizations and networks started to explore the idea of convening an Internet Social Forum. The value of such a Forum would be to provide a space for a diversity of social movements and civil society actors to exchange and explore common agendas to rebuild a more human, democratic and less concentrated/centralised internet. Such a thematic forum would be part of the World Social Forum process and will be organized under the WSF’s general principles and format, including the idea of extension and on-going process (i.e. not limited just to the face-to-face event). It would not be a substitute for civil society participation and pre-meetings at the IGF. We of course still need those. It would provide us with a space to deepen our analysis and share critical perspectives in ways that would enrich our advocacy in other spaces. Those now in Guadalajara who interested in learning more about the plans for convening such an event are invited to join an open discussion. When: Thursday 8 December 2016 Where: Meeting room next door to the Morales Hotel (Avenida Ramon Corona in the historical centre). Time: 19h30 Anriette (On behalf of members of the provisional planning group present in Guadalajara) PS This meeting just prior to the APC party which you are also all invited to :) If you want to attend the APC party please register at: https://crm.apc.org/civicrm/event/info?id=28&reset=1 -- ----------------------------------------- Anriette Esterhuysen Executive Director Association for Progressive Communications anriette(a)apc.org www.apc.org IM: ae_apc

Somebody was asking for the bit I said in the WS on Monday

by Raoul Plommer

I was told somebody was looking for my comment I made on Monday. Here it is: "I’d just want to add to the discussion ahead, that community connectivity is not only about getting the unconnected people on the Internet, but also for the people of developed countries’ urban areas, where community networks can be built to circumvent censorship and give people back their privacy that has been lost on the commercial networks, because of their centralized nature. I think de-centralized, community-driven networks ARE the paradigm shift that we’ve been waiting for and it’s going to benefit all of us." See you at 12! :) -Raoul

IGF 2016 DC3-related activities

by Nicolás Echániz

I've checked some dates now that the schedule is online: https://igf2016.sched.org/ So, these are the DC3-related activities during IGF 2016 in Guadalajara, Mexico 1) An IGF pre-event on the afternoon of 5 December (IGF Day 0) 2) Disco-Tech, on the evening of 5 December (last years’ programme https://www.apc.org/en/node/21284 ) 3) DC on Community Connectivity, December 7, 12:00 - 13:30 featuring the authors of the papers included in the DC3 Report https://igf2016.sched.org/event/8htn/dc-on-community-connectivity 4) WS238: Community Connectivity: empowering the unconnected. December 7, 15:00 - 16:30 https://igf2016.sched.org/event/8htE/ws238-community-connectivity-empowerin… https://www.intgovforum.org/cms/igf2016/index.php/proposal/view_public/238 5) Post-IGF event on community networking, on 10 December, 10:00 - 17:00. University of Guadalajara. Open to interested people. I'd like us to plan a bit so we can make the most of all these sessions. Activities 3 and 4 don't seem to need any further planning. Do they? Disco-Tech needs to be coordinated among APC, DC3 and other interested parties. I'm not aware of any planification about this so far. Regarding the pre and post evente, I believe we should have some time for a DC3 "internal meeting" that's not open to the general public but rather more of a round table like the one we had in Bogotá. Jane has told me the idea during the post-event is to make it open, so that would leave the pre-event for a more inner DC3 meeting. Or maybe we could plan to make part of the post-event dedicated to inner planning and discussion and another part open to the public? The purpose of such inner meeting for me is to come together, have everyone update the group on what are the news, the ongoing activities and plans ahead. For example, we have discussed previously about the importance of having a presence and some clear objectives for the 2017 World Telecommunication Development Conference (http://www.itu.int/en/ITU-D/Conferences/WTDC/Pages/default.aspx) but so far we haven't discussed about this on the DC3 list. This to me is an important topic to discuss in person so we can maximize results. This was proposed by Rhizomatica and most of us (present in Bogotá) agreed that it's important to push the Community Connectivity perspective there, considering results from that conference can have more binding outcomes than other events. We have also talked about working on creating a global Community Networks database that we can keep updated over time. This was discussed a bit on the "Network Communities data" thread[1]. It was also brought up again by Conraad lately in the "Rural access success stories" thread[2]; with a different perspective. My approach to this is to frame it in the lines of what PCC.I/RES.268 from CITEL's 2016 meeting in El Salvador[3] says: """ a) Documentation, systematization, sharing, and dissemination of results and experiences of national initiatives related to the implementation of Recommendation ITU-D 19 [4] as it pertains to the development of small nonprofit community operators that serve the communications needs of these (rural and remote) areas. """ I believe this would put the DC3 in a position of visibility in the American continent (CITEL) but also elsewhere, as a point of reference regarding the issues we address. I guess we have many other important matters to discuss. I'd very much like the DC3 to be a proactive collective and not just a "community connectivity think tank"... YMMV :) Sorry for the long e-mail... I've been wanting to propose this for quite some time but had no opportunity to write before. Cheers, Nico [1] http://listas.altermundi.net/pipermail/dc3/2016-June/000208.html [2] http://listas.altermundi.net/pipermail/dc3/2016-November/000370.html [3] https://www.citel.oas.org/en/SiteAssets/PCCI/Final-Reports/CCPI-2016-28-400… [3] (spanish) https://www.citel.oas.org/en/SiteAssets/PCCI/Final-Reports/CCPI-2016-28-400… [4] http://www.itu.int/dms_pubrec/itu-d/rec/d/D-REC-D.19-201003-I!!PDF-E.pdf
