Hi
Indigenous Communities and Connectivity
A few years ago I came across a Dr. *Martin Murillo at the IEEE HTC *
He and others ie. Alan Mickelson of University of Colorado and others
worked on a point to point connectivity solutions
He was with IDRC at the time

Hi all,
A further issue we should start discussing is the planning of the DC3
session.
As DC3 has continuously produced outputs, we have a session slot by
default but we should send a draft session proposal by *29 June*.
As discussed at Rightscon
<http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/index.php?q=filedepot_download/4391/1254>,
the DC3 session could have a threefold structure featuring the following
parts:
1. presentation of (at least some of) the initiatives featured in
the 2018 DC3 Report (that should be the “CN Manual” mentioned in my
previous email)
2. discussion with people in their early phase of CN development to
understand the challenges they are facing
3. discussion with potential partners
FYI, the 90 minutes time slot has been reestablished (thanks to all those
who commented during the IGF stocktaking consultation requesting
restauration of the 90 min slot!!).
The session should be as much as possible, multistakeholder, gender
balanced and geographically diverse.
I propose to have up to 3 speakers in part 1; 2 for part 2; and 2 (or
maybe 3) in part 3.
The speakers for part 1 will be chosen amongst the contributors of the CN
Manual. If anyone is already sure to submit a contribution for the CN
manual, please send a message (on-list or a PM) so that I can include your
name in the DRAFT session description.
As regards part 2, Nico Pace offered to help liaise with people currently
developing CNs and facing challenges. Nico can you suggest some names?
As regards part 3, I was thinking that IFLA could be good (I am CCing
Donna) and perhaps one Intergovernmental org that is dealing with CNs e.g.
CITEL or African Union.
Lastly, after having read what Google India is doing, providing Free WiFi
at Indian train stations, I have started wondering if it could also be a
potential partner to be included in the discussion

What do you think?
