Good news on our validation :)

I can work on the website (Wordpress), but I need credentials on hosted webspace, or some money to buy hosting.

Here are my suggestions for the name of the new website: commnet.info or commweb.org. I think shorter is better.

Hi all,

Yes, as you may see we have been chartered by the IGF!!!
This is an excellent way to start the new year :) Now we can finally stat working.

First, please, let me know if anyone else is interested in joining the DC3 as a member (the current member list is below and also here https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/dc_on_connected_communities )

Also, we should think about establishing a DC3 website. My sugestion for an URL would be communityconnectivity.info
What do you think?

Perhaps we can structure the DC3 website as a wiki (as it was proposed by Diego) in order to allow all interested people to contibute more easily. What do you think?

Here are the resources we have gathered so far https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/DC3_Resources
We should try to better organise them (at least visually) on the new website. Any volunteer to deal with the website creation?

Lastly, I will share a draft of the DC3 Rules of Procedure next week.

Happy new year to everyone!!
Best
Luca

Dear Luca,

Thanks for reaching out - we were just going to write you regarding this!

The Secretariat concluded a review of your proposal this week. Since the
DC on Community Connectivity meets all of our criteria, we will go ahead
and add it under the "DCs umbrella".

Please let us know if there are any updates to your proposal. We will be
using it to publish information on the DC to the IGF website.


All the best,
Eleonora

Request for establishment of the IGF Dynamic Coalition on Community
Connectivity  (DC3)


The necessity of creating the DC3

The need for a Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity (DC3) emerged
during the IGF workshop 223 "Community Networks: a Revolutionary
Paradigm", held in João Pessoa, during the 10th IGF. Workshop
participants agreed on the potential of community networks in order to
promote sustainable Internet connectivity and foster the full enjoyment
of fundamental rights such as freedom of expression and
self-determination. To this extent participants stressed the need to
move forward the discussion on community networks and further analyse
how such networks may be used to foster sustainable Internet
connectivity while empowering Internet users.

During the workshop, consensus emerged with regard to the need for
international cooperation aimed at fostering synergy and coordination
amongst different community networks. Such cooperation may be
particularly useful in order to identify:
•         best practices for the development and maintenance of
community networks;
•         sustainable organisational and financial models for
community networks;
•         efficient software and hardware technology.


To address the aforementioned issues while fostering cooperation, many
participants expressed interest with regard to the establishment of a
new IGF Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity.



Action Plan

The Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity (DC3) emerged as an
outcome of the IGF workshop 223 "Community Networks: a Revolutionary
Paradigm", held in João Pessoa, during the 10th IGF.

The DC3 has been created in order to foster multistakeholder analysis of
the various types and models of community networks, with the aim of
identifying and promoting best practices and sustainable approaches to
Internet connectivity in the context of communities.

The DC3 participants will foster joint efforts aimed at:

  *   â€¢         Making Community Networks (CN) visible to policy
makers so they can be properly considered as an actor in the
telecommunications ecosystem.
  *   â€¢         Identifying good open-access resources that may be
useful to communicate to non-techies what CN are and how they work;
  *   â€¢         Mapping existing CN and try to foster communication
amongst them, promoting strategies to achieve common goals;
  *   â€¢         Identifying models of CN (e.g. rural CN, urban CN,
etc.) and best practices that can make them particularly efficient and
resilient both from a technical and organizational perspective;
  *   â€¢         Identifying best practices and worst practices as
regards national and international policies that facilitate or hinder
the deployment of community networks.
  *   â€¢         Consolidating and publishing these ideas into some
‘Community Network Guidelines/Best practices’ to be presented at the
next IGF and divulgated on the future DC3 website.
  *   â€¢         Supporting CN gatherings and hands-on work meetings at
a regional and global level.
  *   â€¢         Addressing common technology development needs, from
identifying technological bottlenecks to helping find the resources
needed to solve them in a manner that will be beneficial to the sector
as a whole.
  *   â€¢         Develop a framework for easy access to promote the
deployment of CN in remote areas
