Re: [DC3] RES: IGF

Hi Sylvia – Absolutely we could use the ISOC office conference room on any day. We have an office in the Old Town area – not far from Tram and Bus lines!

For Day -1 (on day 0 many of us will have conflicting events). There are many other activities that use meeting rooms during lunch breaks (like the GISWatch launch, the Seed Alliance Awards, other book launches, etc). Better not to assume that you will have the room ;) It will be great to have a community meeting before the IGF –maybe the day before-. After the IGF will be very difficult. As for travel to Trieste before, that will be awesome, but in my case I will not be able to justify the trip. Great for those that are looking for training, but not necessarily for a larger support group. ISOC has a nice office in Geneva, and some of the meeting rooms can accommodate a group of a similar size than the one that met in Guadalajara. Jane, will that be possible if the IGF secretariat cannot confirm space at the Palais for day -1? –just saying- Regards, Sylvia ———— ** ISIF Asia call for grants proposals and award nominations is open until 30 August (midnight UTC) www.isif.asia - Get started and submit your application! ** Sylvia Cadena | sylvia(a)apnic.net | APNIC Foundation - Head of Programs | +10 GMT Brisbane, Australia | http://www.apnic.foundation From: <dc3-bounces(a)listas.altermundi.net> on behalf of Jane Coffin <coffin(a)isoc.org> Reply-To: Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity <dc3(a)listas.altermundi.net> Date: Thursday, 22 June 2017 at 9:06 am To: Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity <dc3(a)listas.altermundi.net> Subject: Re: [DC3] RES: IGF Hi Luca – That sounds like a great idea for IGF. We have some rooms reserved – thus my thought about some fellowships. Still an option… Another option to include or not – would be a CN/GAIA workshop in Trieste just before IGF. ICTP has space and we can consider helping people with fellowships. The challenge is that folks would need to obtain visas for Geneva (ICTP can help with Italy, but those visas have to be limited to the timeframe of the meeting. ICTP (Ermanno and Marco) recently helped us with an excellent training workshop/network set-up in Kenya. A cross between GAIA and hands-on training could be arranged the week before IGF. Those that want to (and that have visas) could travel up to Geneva (trains are handy or buses).

This would allow to add tutorials and a short unconference and would be pretty easy to set up. If we ask the Secretariat to schedule the DC3 session before lunch, we could extend the session and have a 3 hour long event allowing more interactions. What do you think?

I think there is a lot of merit in another big meet up with CN colleagues. And, wonder if we had some tutorials for folks (on the margin, Unconference) would folks also want to participate in that? Tech Biz Case/Sustainability Policy/Reg ISOC likely will be able to bring some people – we would put out a call for fellowships. Would this also be something we could build in?

However, the topics included in the workshop proposal (and more) can still be discussed at the DC3 annual session. All persons interested in joining the session can submit a short for the DC3 report ( see Call for Papers http://tinyurl.com/DC3callforpapers ). Moreover, the workshop proposal on community connectivity submitted by Bruno Vianna and Marcelo Saldanha was accepted. Parabéns Bruno e Saldanha!! http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2017-ws-111-financing-a… So there will be several occasions to discuss CN at IGF in December.
