Dear all,

EuroDIG has been extremely productive in terms of visibility for community connectivity (and DC3), in terms of policy recommendations and in terms of new possible cooperation. Below a brief report. Those who were at EuroDIG can feel free to complement.

Visibility. There was high interest in CNs not only from session participants but also from remote participants. A lot of people were debating the issue and come to ask more info and to have a copy of the DC3 report (I brought 50 and they are all gone). Particularly, it was the first time in which governmental officials were actively approaching to know more about CNs e.g. officials from the Georgian Ministry of Sustainable Development, the Finnish ministry of Infrastructure and the newly created European office for Broadband Access. This latter was particularly interested. I invited the director to give a keynote at the DC3 annual meeting at the IGF. I also recommended he gets in touch with NetCommons friends. Very happy to liaise, so that EU based DC3 members can start a dialogue with him.
