Dear all, Great to see that so many good ideas are already emerging from the list! Leandro, many thanks for the very useful info. This is exactly the kind of resources we need! The GAIA workshop looks interesting: do you know if the sessions will be live-streamed? Perhaps, video recordings will be published? As regards next steps, I would like to send a request to establish the DC3 by the end of the week, if possible. So far, these are the elements (required by the IGF Secretariatat) at my disposal: MEMBERS: Technical Community Bob Frankston, IEEE Consumer Electronics Society Frédéric Donck, ISOC Civil Society Nicolás Echániz, Altermundi Ritu Srivastava, Digital Empowerment Foundation Kevin Bankston, New America Foundation Raoul Plommer, Electronic Frontier Finland Leandro Navarro, UPC, community-lab.net and guifi.net Academia Janara Sousa, Universidade de Brasília Catherine Middleton, Ryerson University Diego Vicentin, UNICAMP Nathalia Foditsch, American University Luca Belli, Center for Technology & Society, Fundação Getulio Vargas Jamila Venturini, Center for Technology & Society, Fundação Getulio Vargas Intergovernmental Organisations Lee Hibbard, Council of Europe Unkown affiliation John Dada Otavio Vinhas Feel free to invite new people or to add your name and affiliation to the pad, if you want to be included as DC3 member. https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/dc_on_connected_communities CO-CORDINATORS: Nico and myself. Usually IGF Dynamic Coalitions have two or three coordinators: it would be very nice to have also a woman amongst the coordinators, in order to have more gender balance. Should any ladies be interested in being a co-coordinator, be my guest :) MAILING LIST Up and running! ACTION PLAN Below the current draft (feel free to modify it using the pad) The Dynamic Coalition on Connected Communities (DC3) emerged as an outcome of the IGF workshop 223 "Community Networks: a Revolutionary Paradigm", held in João Pessoa, during the 10th IGF. The DC3 has been created in order to foster multistakeholder analysis of the various types and models of community networks, with the aim of identifying and promoting best practices and sustainable approaches to Internet connectivity in the context of communities. The DC3 participants will foster joint efforts aimed at: * • Making CN visible to policy makers so they can be properly considered as an actor in the telecomunications ecosystem. * • Identifying good open-access readings that may be useful to communicate to non-techies what CN are and how they work; * • Mapping existing CN and try to foster communication amongst them, promoting strategies to achieve common goals; * • Identifying models of CN (e.g. rural CN, urban CN, etc.) and best practices that can make them particularly efficient and resilient both from a technical and organizational perspective; * • Identifying best practices and worst practices as regards national and international policies that facilitate or hinder the deployment of community networks. * • Consolidating and publishing of this ideas into some ‘Community Network Guidelines/Best practices’ to be presented at the next IGF and divulgated on the future DC3 website. Thanks to everyone for the interest and very good ideas shared so far. Do not hesitate to share more! All the best Luca ________________________________ De: dc3-bounces(a)listas.altermundi.net [dc3-bounces(a)listas.altermundi.net] em nome de Leandro Navarro [leandro(a)pangea.org] Enviado: terça-feira, 17 de novembro de 2015 6:51 Para: Dynamic Coalition on Connected Communities Assunto: Re: [DC3] Coalition Draft document / pad Dear Nico and all, congratulations for the initiative. Let me introduce to save you from an extra email :-). I got your email through APC last night, the same night that we had the award ceremony in Brussels where the guifi.net community network got the European Broadband Award from the European Commission for its “innovative model of financing, business and investment” <https://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/en/news/five-projects-got-first-ever-european-broadband-award>https://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/en/news/five-projects-got-first-ever-european-broadband-award The video about guifi.net: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gD3HYeD4Lm4> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gD3HYeD4Lm4 A detailed research paper that describes its socio-economic and governance model: <http://people.ac.upc.edu/leandro/pubs/crowds-guifi-en.pdf> http://people.ac.upc.edu/leandro/pubs/crowds-guifi-en.pdf and in spanish too: <http://people.ac.upc.edu/leandro/pubs/crowds-guifi-es.pdf> http://people.ac.upc.edu/leandro/pubs/crowds-guifi-es.pdf One of the many contributions to the guifi.net network and model comes from the collaboration between Pangea.org, UPC.edu and the guifi.net community, that I belong to. We have the http://community-lab.net testbed for experimentation, and an upcoming research project: netcommons.eu<http://netcommons.eu> all working with community networks. You can count on us to contribute and help to your great initiative. Linked to this, there is the GAIA effort (ISOC/IRTF, web and mailing list<https://trac.tools.ietf.org/group/irtf/trac/wiki/gaia>) in the next GAIA workshop<http://acmdev.org/gaia.php> (London, Nov 30, co-located with the ACM-DEV conference) we’ll have a world-cafe style discussion on socio-economic or business/sustainability models of infrastructures and services for GAIA. Guifi.net, among other initiatives, will be there. Davide from Deloitte who was participating/leading the APC Infrastructure Sharing report will join the workshop and share his views there. You're welcome to join. If you plan to be there just let me know. All the best, Leandro.

He has also created a pad so we can work together on a short document to describe what this Coalition will be about: https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/dc_on_connected_communities Please review it and feel free to edit there, add your own ideas and comment in this list. I think it could be interesting to add a paragraph or short list of specific subjects we are interested in exploring further, like spectrum, community licences, organizational and business models, technologies involved, etc. Welcome, and let's make this work!
