Hi Luca, all:

First of all, please excuse my late reply – I've been on the road since EuroDIG ended.

Second, let me echo what's already been said. Indeed, thank you for this comprehensive report, Luca, and for the great news about new and potential collaboration.

The community connectivity session went very well (I was present for it), and I really commend Maarit for all of her hard work on getting it together.

I am also very grateful to Luca for all of his support for my workshop on sustainable access. Indeed, I am honored to announce that it was a success. Not only did he ensure that the energy and sustainability needs of community networks were voiced, he provided much encouragement and other input. So, needless to say, it is my pleasure to address this topic in the DC3 report. Thank you to everyone else once again who voiced their support.

In case you're interested in seeing what we discussed, you can watch the recording or see the policy recommendations. 

I look forward to collaborating more on this subject in the coming months.

Best,
-Michael

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.


 Thanks Luca, great work.
Don't hesitate to put us (netCommoners) directy in contact with anybody interested in our
EU-level activities, including things like these:
