"Community-facilitated Networking Break: Every Community Connected: a Call to Action. A pledge to promote digital inclusion and access to information"
Hi All,
The International Libraries Federation (IFLA.org) has arranged a slot tomorrow morning for an open discussion. Which will become part of the permanent record of this year’s IGF.
The setup will be the Partnership for Public Access new 2020 Declaration: EVERY COMMUNITY CONNECTED. See the 2020 Declaration <https://p4pa.net/2020-declaration/> link also on P4PA.net home page.
You’re all invited to join in and weigh in! Starts early tomorrow (for some of us) at 14:10 UTC / 06:10 Pacific, but promises to be interesting and perhaps important in moving ahead on our common goal to connect every community and thereby every person.
Thanks!
Don Means, Director
GigLibraries.Net

Hi all,
Is there a plan to meet (virtually) during the IGF? I see in the program
that there will be lots of interesting panels discussing access and
connectivity, anyway.
Kind regards,

Hi all,
netCommons (www.netcommons.eu), the European project on network
infrastructure as commons, is proud to announce the release of
"Telecommunications Reclaimed: A Hands-On Guide to Networking Communities".
This book is a guide on how to build a community network, a shared local
telecommunications infrastructure, managed as a commons, to access the
internet and other digital communications services. It was written
collectively by a group of community network pioneers in Europe,
activists and researchers during a writing residency week held in Vic,
Catalonia in October 2018. It was a time of hard work and fast writing,
but also of discussions in a friendly environment.
Meant for a wide audience, the book includes practical knowledge
illustrated by several hands-on experiences – a set of 32 real-life
stories – as well as legal, technical, governance, economic and policy
material extracted from netCommons, a three-year-long research project
supported by the European Commission. Its goal is to guide the reader
through a set of actions aimed at setting up and fostering the growth of
a community network, but also, for policy makers, local administrations
and the general public, to create the right conditions to let community
networks bloom and flourish.
Download the Open Access book PDF at
https://www.netcommons.eu/?q=telecommunications-reclaimed
Many thanks to all those who made this possible, and in particular to
ISOC and APC who supported the book production after the European
project funding of the writing.
It can be purchased at
https://www.amazon.com/Telecommunications-reclaimed-hands-networking-commun…
Suggestions of a commons-based or cooperative print-on-demand platform
are welcome, as we are looking for an alternative to Amazon (choice of
our publisher) for a print-on-demand solution.
The book's editors, Mélanie Dulong de Rosnay and Félix Tréguer

community networks prespective to our survey, we would be very pleased to
