Dear Deirdre,
I'm sorry we weren't clearer. We should have clarified that we weren't
looking at all "contributions", but specifically at the 187 formal
submissions made in the beginning of April and archived here:
http://content.netmundial.br/docs/contribs
Regards,
Pranesh

> Dear Deirdre,

> My name is Sumandro. I was working with Jyoti and Geetha on these
> visualisations, and I created this map we are discussing.
>
> Firstly, I am very sorry that the map has not been labelled clearly. As
> the text below the map mentions,"[t]he map shows (in *green*) all the
> countries from where no contributions (by any kinds of organisation)
> have been submitted to NETmundial. Countries appearing in *white* are
> those from where contributions have been submitted."
>
> The map is meant not at all as a criticism of the countries in green for
> not 'contributing' to NETmundial, but to point out the limitation of
> NETmundial as a global event since it has failed to attract written
> submissions towards setting up its agenda from the countries shown in green.
>
> I have just renamed the map to "Which Countries have Not Submitted
> Contributions to NETmundial". This is a more clearer name I think.
>
> I also agree with your point about the bias that maps create against
> countries of smaller geographic sizes. Trinidad and Tobago is listed in
> this map as one of those countries that has submitted contributions to
> NETmundial. It unfortunately does not show up on the map due to the
> problem you have pointed out.
>
> For the same reason we used a non-map based chart to show the
> contributions from different regions and countries:
> <http://ajantriks.github.io/netmundial/contributions_countries.html>
>
> Once again, I am sorry for the undesired meaning that the maps carried.
> The point of this map (and the one for the governments that did not
> submit a contribution) is again to indicate at the structural forces
> that shape ability of actors and countries to access Internet, and also
> to take part in discussing how it should be governed.
