Re: [DC3] IFLA president contact

Hi All – Perhaps we invite Stuart and Don Means (as he has done lots of work with libraries and TVWS advocacy) to the next call? We give them each 15-20 minutes to tell us about engagement opportunities and points of contact? Just a thought?

After looking for direct or indirect contacts with the elected president of IFLA I sent her this email below (translated from Catalan). She already replied that she's away but we'll talk when she's back. A rough translation of my message: Hi Glòria, I am a researcher at UPC and do research community networks. At the last IGF in Guadalajara (MX) we had the opportunity to speak with Stuart Hamilton on the issue of universal access to the Internet (Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity). We both agreed that community networks (communication networks created and managed by the citizens themselves) as libraries share some values ​​and objectives in this regard. We said it could be useful to contact you in your role as president. In addition, in Catalonia we have one of the world's largest community network, guifi.net, with more than 32,000 nodes. Here is a video that has been done to explain the relationship between libraries and community networks (especially in rural areas) here in the context of guifi.net: https://guifi.net/ca/node/94246 A research article that explains guifi.net in great detail: English: http://people.ac.upc.edu/leandro/pubs/crowds-guifi-en.pdf Catalan Translation: http://people.ac.upc.edu/leandro/pubs/crowds-guifi-ca.pdf Spanish Translation: http://people.ac.upc.edu/leandro/pubs/crowds-guifi-es.pdf If you see something interesting and want to discuss ideas for ​​collaboration we can meet.
