@Maureen: Thank you for the support! Indeed, I am trying to hammer that point home (and is already something that this group is well-aware of): unless electrification and sustainable energy is part of the solution, then it will be impossible to connect communities.

@Jane: Thank you too! I know that Leandro and some others have submitted some proposals related to this for this year's IGF. I hope they get selected. Either way, we'll keep the group informed.

Best,
-Michael

Michael –

 

Very cool.

 

I hope that the IGF in Geneva takes the opportunity to talk more about e-waste.


Best,

Jane

Subject: [DC3] EuroDIG sustainable access roundtable

 

Hi everyone,

 

One of my biggest passions within the Internet ecosystem is sustainable accessibility. I am organizing and moderating my first roundtable as a community member next week: Workshop 11 at the European Dialogue on Internet Governance (EuroDIG).

 

Especially given the current political climate, the timely workshop will focus on sustainable access and digital pollution, specifically how we cannot legitimately address Internet access without addressing sustainability. Our keynote speaker is Dr. Mike Hazas of the University of Lancaster, a sustainable ICT researcher and one of the people who originally inspired me to start investigating the relationship between the Internet and sustainability.

 

We are also going to have on-site e-waste recycling bins available in case anyone has e-waste they need to discard but are unsure of how or where to do so, so please bring it with you to Tallinn if you are traveling to EuroDIG.

 

In case any of you are interested in this session, join us either in person in Tallinn or online on Wednesday, June 7 at 2:00 PM (GMT+3) (details in the attached photo). You can also check out our wiki page at: https://eurodigwiki.org/wiki/WS_11_2017

 

Many thanks to Chris Buckridge of the RIPE NCC for all of his support, and to EES-Ringlus, a local Estonian e-waste recycling organization.

 

And thank you to everyone who continues to encourage me to be part of this community and help keep the Internet open, free, and sustainable.


Warmest regards,

-Michael
