I am busy now to close some phases of our project to build more 10 CNs here, but, I will read the links and try to help. I remember writing something to IGF to the Connecting Next Billion issue (http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/cnb-contribs/details/31/7064/cnb-list-of-con… ) and beginning to write a proposal to make a round table or something like that to IGF 2015, but, I will try in time and come back here again.

I am quite interested to have best practices Forum (BPF) on community connectivity. It would be interesting to join on this. regards ritu On Tue, May 10, 2016 at 4:24 AM, Luca Belli &lt;luca.belli(a)fgv.br&gt; wrote: Dear all, Just a reminder that the deadline for IGF workshop proposals is 6 June. <http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/igf16-workshops/igf16-wksp-glns> http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/igf16-workshops/igf16-wksp-glns I think we could propose a workshop to foster debate on community connectivity, hopefully involving local partners. Is anyone interested in the elaboration of a joint proposal? Besides workshop proposals, please note that it is also possible to propose the creation of a Best Practice Forum (BPF) on community connectivity. The purpose of BPF is to consolidate good practices on specific issues. http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/documents/best-practice-forums/657-bpf-handb… Calros Afonso, from Nupef, suggested the possibility to establish a BPF on community connectivity. Such option could be good to have further visibility at the IGF (we would have a BPF session to discuss CN best practices) but may also entail some duplications, such as the creation of another mailing-list (unless the IGF Secretariat allows us the DC3 mailing list) and the existence of two IGF components (a dynamic coalition and a BPF) dealing with the same issue. What do you think about the idea of a BPF? Is there anyone interested in proposing a BPF on community connectivity?
