Re: [DC3] Coalition Draft document / pad

Dear Nico and all, congratulations for the initiative. Let me introduce to save you from an extra email :-). I got your email through APC last night, the same night that we had the award ceremony in Brussels where the guifi.net community network got the European Broadband Award from the European Commission for its “innovative model of financing, business and investment” https://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/en/news/five-projects-got-first-ever-eu… The video about guifi.net: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gD3HYeD4Lm4 A detailed research paper that describes its socio-economic and governance model: http://people.ac.upc.edu/leandro/pubs/crowds-guifi-en.pdf and in spanish too: http://people.ac.upc.edu/leandro/pubs/crowds-guifi-es.pdf One of the many contributions to the guifi.net network and model comes from the collaboration between Pangea.org, UPC.edu and the guifi.net community, that I belong to. We have the http://community-lab.net testbed for experimentation, and an upcoming research project: netcommons.eu <http://netcommons.eu> all working with community networks. You can count on us to contribute and help to your great initiative. Linked to this, there is the GAIA effort (ISOC/IRTF, web and mailing list <https://trac.tools.ietf.org/group/irtf/trac/wiki/gaia>) in the next GAIA workshop <http://acmdev.org/gaia.php> (London, Nov 30, co-located with the ACM-DEV conference) we’ll have a world-cafe style discussion on socio-economic or business/sustainability models of infrastructures and services for GAIA. Guifi.net, among other initiatives, will be there. Davide from Deloitte who was participating/leading the APC Infrastructure Sharing report will join the workshop and share his views there. You're welcome to join. If you plan to be there just let me know. All the best, Leandro. On 17/11/15 05:37, Nicolás Echániz wrote:
