Hi Parminder,

Thanks for the inputs.

I agree that one of our goals should be to define what are community networks, in order to foster a common understanding, and to promote the development of CN as a tool to foster sustainable connectivity.

With regard to DC3 membership, I would slightly rephrase your suggestion and I would say that membership should imply commitment to promote DC3 purposes.

Modifications are already in the pad https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/DC3_Rules_of_Procedure

You are all welcome to modify/tweak the text but please do it by Sunday so that we can advance smoothly.

All the best

Luca

Assunto: Re: [DC3] Habemus Domain Name!

Thanks Luca for this excellent work...

I wonder if we should have at least a basic definition of what is a community network, something like "Community networks are connectivity infrastructure that are owned by the community, whether or not such an ownership is operationalised, wholly or partly, through local private sector entities." Just a rough, quickly done one. We should of course arrive at a commonly agreed definition here.

And then put the key objective of the DC to be something like "To explore and develop community networks models, and present them as a key way to provide connectivity to people"

And then, in the 'membership section', add something to the effect that, to get the membership of the DC, while any stakeholder group can do it, the applicant must state agreement with the basic objectives of the DC.

Dear all,

Thanks for your inputs regarding the DC3 domain name. The most voted one is comconnectivity.org

I have just purchased the domain name so that when Raoul and Maureen will have a draft DC3 website (that you are going to develop with Wordpress if I recollect well), we can redirect the Wordpress URL to comconnectivity.org

The basic webpages we need are: About, Members, Sources, News&Ideas. I have just compiled the material we already have as follows https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/dc_on_connected_communities

This is just a suggestion. Feel free to develop the webpages content as you prefer.

Also, here are the Draft Rules of Procedure https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/DC3_Rules_of_Procedure
If there is no opposition to this text, we can considered the Rules as adopted. If you have any final remarks or objections, please modify the pad or share an email by 21 February.

All the best

Luca
