Re: [DC3] Georgia - Republic of - Amazing Article - Community Network in the high-mountains of the Caucuses

Hey All – Some inspiration for 2018. For those that were at IGF 2017 - you met Rati and Ucha (also at IGF 2016). They were key to this project along with our European team. Many of you met Maarit in December – she is cc’d here! Onward with the goodness good people! https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/01/05/technology/ caucuses-mountains-internet.html Best, Jane Internet Society | www.internetsociety.org Skype: janercoffin Mobile/WhatsApp: +1.202.247.8429 <%28202%29%20247-8429> *From: *&lt;dc3-bounces(a)listas.altermundi.net&gt; on behalf of Jane Coffin < coffin(a)isoc.org&gt; *Reply-To: *Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity < dc3(a)listas.altermundi.net&gt; *Date: *Tuesday, January 2, 2018 at 12:48 PM *To: *Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity < dc3(a)listas.altermundi.net&gt; *Cc: *Matthew Rantanen &lt;mrantanen(a)sctdv.net&gt; *Subject: *[DC3] CNs, Indigenous Communities, and one of the closing words at IGF 2017 - Matt Rantanen Hi All – Matt Rantanen (Cree Indian and much more) was asked to speak in the closing segment of the IGF. He is a community builder, CN manager, and a great colleague. Thanks go to Renata, Judith, Glenn and others who are making sure that indigenous communities have a seat at the table (ISOC and APC helping there, too, along with CNs around the planet). Recognition of the “Closing words” are here… "indigenous peoples of the world should have a seat at the table on Internet governance and be included in the decision-making level of the process." https://www.unog.ch/unog/website/news_media.nsf/(httpNewsByY ear_en)/0F063B1FA2812028C12581FD00635BEF?OpenDocument I have a vid, but looking for a better one.
