I would be grateful if you could send me a name by Monday Evening. Best regards Chengetai _+--+-+ My suggestion "I'd like to suggest 1 name for the opening as time is upon us Viviane Vinagre vivianegvinagre at gmail.com A law student in her 20s who attended IGF2015 in her city, João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil. Ever since then Viviane has engaged with the community and changed her life altogether. She has participated in the Brazil IGF and in parallel events, involved herself in internet policy issues relative to her region such as the dot-Amazon debate, and just last year she did an internship in Canada researching gender and internet governance. Got to be a speaker of her own session just like the PM of Canada and other high-level panelists at the International Gender Forum. She is part of Youth IGF Brazil, YCIG, LACNIC/LACNOG participant, and follows the activities of all the 5 groups of Civil Society part ot the Civil Society Coordination Group (CSCG - Bestbits, IGC, APC, NCSG, JustNet Coalition). She is also an enrolled member of the majority of these groups. I believe it is important to keep alive the spirit of engaging with the IGF and how that can be a life-changer. I also think it would be nice to involve CSCG on choosing the closing speaker, if no objection by MAG members from CS" -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The volume will be launched at the IGF, on Monday 12 November, at 11:20, during the DC3 Session: When the Unconnected Build Connectivity Community Networks are crowdsourced networks structured to be open, unrestricted, and to respect net neutrality. They rely on the active participation of local communities in the design, development, deployment, and management of shared infrastructure as a common resource. They are managed democratically by group of individuals and entities such as NGOs, local businesses, and/or public administrations. This is the third volume of a trilogy. Previous DC3 reports were dedicated, in 2017, to “Community networks: the Internet by the people, for the people” and, in 2016, to “Community Connectivity: Building the Internet from Scratch”. All volumes are freely available, under Creative Commons License. Below you will find the table of content as well as the early praise by Bruno Ramos (ITU) and Andrew Sullivan (ISOC) Feel free to share this email through your networks Best regards Luca “Community networks represent a valuable alternative model that deserves to be explored to improve access to Information and Communication Technologies to underserved communities worldwide. ITU is committed to connecting the entire world's people and this book and the work of the UN IGF Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity offer inspiring and transparent guidance to foster digital inclusion.” Bruno Ramos, Director for the Americas Regional Office of the International Telecommunication Union “Community Networks offer a credible solution for building a digital future that puts people first. This volume is a testament to the excellent work of the IGF Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity.

There will be NO deadline extension. All applications must be sent by 30 November. See details here http://cyberbrics.info/ Kind regards Luca --------- Original Message --------- Subject: [GIGANET-MEMBERS] CyberBRICS Fellowship Programme From: "Luca Belli" Date: 11/1/18 4:53 pm To: GIGANET-MEMBERS at LISTSERV.SYR.EDU Dear colleagues, (apologies for cross-posting) It is a great pleasure to announce the first CyberBRICS Fellowship Programme to be hosted at FGV Law School, Rio de Janeiro. The programme will offer five remunerated fellowships, from February to July 2019, at FGV DIREITO RIO, to support selected scholars having relevant experience in data protection and cybersecurity frameworks in at least one of the BRICS countries. The full Call for Applications is available at https://internet-governance.fgv.br/call-applications-cyberbrics-fellowship-programme The CyberBRICS Project is the result of 2 years of consultations with a wide range of partners and stakeholders, including a dedicated IGF workshop, in 2017; consultations with the Brazilian Foreign Affairs Ministry, the China International Publishing Group and the Open Society Foundations; and extensive exchanges with CyberBRICS partners.* The CyberBRICS fellows will be selected by a commission formed by Prof Luca Belli, from FGV DIREITO RIO (Brazil), Prof Alexey Ivanov, from the Higher School of Economics (Russia), Ms Elonnai Hickok, from the Centre for Internet and Society (India), Prof Shen Yi, from Fudan University (China), and Prof Alison Gillwald, from the Nelson Mandela School of Public Governance University of Cape Town (South Africa). Over a six month period, selected fellows will receive a monthly salary comprised between USD 2.200 and 2.500 (see item 5 of the Call) and will be expected to be based in Rio de Janeiro, where they will have a dedicated office within the FGV main building, in 190 praia de Botafogo. Besides the fellowship programme, we are also building a Network of CyberBRICS Associated Scholars, allowing scholars interested in CyberBRICS activities and having relevant experience in the fields explored by the project to cooperate with us. Should you be interested in this latter opportunity, please feel free to send me a personal email. Please feel free to share this message thought your networks. Kind regards Luca *The CyberBRICS Project was developed thanks to inputs from the Higher School of Economics and the Center for New Media and Society (Russia); the Centre for Internet and Society (India); the University of Hong Kong and the Fudan University (China); and Research ICT Africa and the University of Cape Town (South Africa).

I think the differentiating factor from Margot James MP was that she insisted on the fact that the UK will contribute to the dialogue suggested by President Macron through advocating dialogue with all stakeholders - emphasizing the need for *all* stakeholders, a multistakeholder dialogue contrasting with the calls we have heard for multilateralism.

My own feeling is that we have been divided (or have divided ourselves) into subsets of the general issue so there is no longer any "community of energy". This is a shame. More than ever we need to come together. We need to remind ourselves of the terms of the civil society declaration of 2003 https://www.itu.int/net/wsis/docs/geneva/civil-society-declaration.pdf - are these values still important to us now?

If I am not mistaken, the meeting was announced on the Best Bits list and was the result of a past discussion around the organization of a Civil Society Meeting on the same list. As @Michael Oghia mentioned, the draft of our joint contribution is now open for comments and we would be happy to send you guys a report about the meeting if its of interest. Other than that, I am also aware that another Civil Society Meeting was organized during the IGF (under the name of the CSCG although it wasnt organized by the committee), but I was not able to attend this one. From what I gathered from the lists, this second meeting was dedicated to discussing the Secretariat appointments to the MAG and also the process - but I dont have any more details than this. I would also not oppose the idea of an online meeting, we could definitely use more coordination and I can suggest the idea to CSCG just so we can better coordinate between the groups. Aiming for next week or a date in two weeks time would also be better as some of us might be attending the FOC this week. Last but not least, if we are to organize such meeting, what would be possible agenda items - maybe MAG and HLPDC could be some of them. Best, Bruna Em seg, 26 de nov de 2018 às 19:11, "Michael J.

I think we really need to be action oriented here. Issuing statements does not really yield any result if we dont have a plan, agreed set of tasks, agreed set if values which we can strategize upon. We need to identify important IG events coordinate and discuss what we want to do, which values we want to bring and what our message is. It does not matter if our messages are conflicting. It matters to be present. Of course big civil society organizations are not going to pay attention when we are too chotic and haphazard in action or missing in action. We need to re start coordinating among ourselves. A call every three months, a briefing email every month, will get us back on track. If Friday this week is not feasible we can have the meeting Friday next week. It’s important to have regular exchanges either on this list or during online meetings. Im not really trying to create a collective again I love individuality, but would be good to coordinate among ourselves and know what we are up to, what events are going on and debate issues until the next IGF or important IG event. Out of curiosity, who are actually members of CSCG?

I agree we need to be action oriented here, and also with the idea of convening a CS relevant IG events in the upcoming year in order to identify common interests and possible advocacy areas. - and I guess your suggestion might be shared with the ones who discussed a CS meeting in RightsCon. This coordination could have helped us better as a stakeholder group in a politically framed IGF like this past one. Having the meeting next week would be good as it would give us time to hear back from others and also come up with an agenda. About the CSCG, the composition remains the same - APC, Best Bits, JNC, IGC and NCSG.

The aim of the meeting was to discuss more civil society participation in internet governance spaces including but not exclusively CSCG. No one discussed this input of HLPDC. I believe mostly did not even know of this meeting. Should you have invited the HLPDC Civil Society and Secretariat, who were at IGF, perhaps some strides could already have been made. As it was so clearly pointed out by Jean, some of us (me) have identified that the current composition of CSCG is less than ideal - with NCSG, APC, JustNet, Bestbits, and Internet Governance Caucus - a rather limited group. Other groups, esp. Youth, should be part of Civil Society in internet governance and the legitimacy of the groups already admitted should have some sort of periodical check. That being said, as outgoing Bestbits Steering Committee member, we'll once more get our ducks in a row for (re)election etc. as there is time A meeting would best profit from reps of the new Committee Best, Renata On Mon, Nov 26, 2018 at 9:16 PM Bruna Martins dos Santos wrote: > > Dear all, > > Just a quick clarification on the Civil Society Meeting: > > On sunday afternoon some of us met to discuss the High-Level Panel on Digital Cooperation and the feasibility of a Civil Society joint input to the open consultation the panel has issued.

I am sorry if I misunderstood, but I recall two threads mentioning "CS Meeting - CSCG groups" , but that might have been me reading too much into it. And, as I said, I was not able to attend the meeting, hence my lack of information what was discussed there. But thanks for clarifying that. Please note that the idea of the meeting and the discussion of the HLPDC process was discussed in the bestbits list . Important to mention that the HLPDC meeting was organized between the ones who demonstrated interest in following the discussions and the contribution was an outcome of the meeting itself. Luckily we were also joined by the Panel's Secretariat, as Jovan Kurbalija was kind enough to attend our meeting and sort some doubts we had about the panel. We nevertheless apologize if you feel this wasn’t done properly or with adequate notice.

The volume will be launched at the IGF, on Monday 12 November, at 11:20, during the DC3 Session: When the Unconnected Build Connectivity Community Networks are crowdsourced networks structured to be open, unrestricted, and to respect net neutrality. They rely on the active participation of local communities in the design, development, deployment, and management of shared infrastructure as a common resource. They are managed democratically by group of individuals and entities such as NGOs, local businesses, and/or public administrations. This is the third volume of a trilogy. Previous DC3 reports were dedicated, in 2017, to “Community networks: the Internet by the people, for the people” and, in 2016, to “Community Connectivity: Building the Internet from Scratch”. All volumes are freely available, under Creative Commons License.

ITU is committed to connecting the entire world's people and this book and the work of the UN IGF Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity offer inspiring and transparent guidance to foster digital inclusion.” Bruno Ramos, Director for the Americas Regional Office of the International Telecommunication Union “Community Networks offer a credible solution for building a digital future that puts people first. This volume is a testament to the excellent work of the IGF Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity.

Bestbits has 2 reps at CSCG. To say that the meeting was done "in the name of CSCG" is wrong. Good that you invited Secretariat but this has nothing to do with the composition of CSCG. Once more, recognizing civil society members of any other groups (HLPDC or others) is lacking at CSCG.

There is clearly interest and a feeling that “something is missing”. Let’s put that energy to work. :-))) RightsCon has open doors to a coordination meeting and we have private spaces planned to accommodate those. I will send a separate email with a doodle poll for a call and happy to move from there. Or does anybody else wants to take the reins? P.s the call for proposals is open and the deadline is December 14th! Anyone is welcome to submit a proposal there, too!

However, as we know, most of civil society from LAC and AP won't be able to self-fund for Tunisia so again a degree of exclusion is expected. (Yes, I know Rightscon has travel support but a limited amount). Some of the group that met during IGF was to contact you to help organize that meeting. Would be great to hear periodically about how is that going and try and maximize inclusion (live tweeting volunteers maybe) As for the call, BB SC colleagues can weigh in. As outgoing, I hope the successors or candidates to succcession come forward for it. I've always found that it is easier when everybody realizes there are no reins to take but a lot of work to do and not enough people to do it. So a contribution counts much more than a complaint.

When I look at the energy dispense at the individual level, I kept wondering why such energy could not be harness as a body as it used to be. I could remember the vibes and impact the body have on various internet governance discussions but suddenly we all got too busy to pay attention to group coordination especially to IGC as no one is ready or available when we call out for help which shows that people preferred to ride alone. What affected IGC discussion was the lack of technical hands to help when the infrastructure it was built on had issues. Since migration to risenet, the discussion on the list and interest keeps going down. Though it seem totally not working but still breathing. And that is seen from the recent names recommendations made by the CSCG Nomcom12 to the MAG which saw the appointment of Arsene, the IGC co-co to the MAG. As Renata said that CSCG would need to be more inclusive. If memory serves me well, recommendations were made during the last CSCG review to open up membership to other civil society organization but so many issues were raised which the membership criteria is one aspect. Maybe its time to revisit and make things happen as the digital environment is moving towards digital cooperation and building trust as diplomat instruments. Regards Peter.

The volume will be launched at the IGF, on Monday 12 November, at 11:20, during the DC3 Session: When the Unconnected Build Connectivity Community Networks are crowdsourced networks structured to be open, unrestricted, and to respect net neutrality. They rely on the active participation of local communities in the design, development, deployment, and management of shared infrastructure as a common resource. They are managed democratically by group of individuals and entities such as NGOs, local businesses, and/or public administrations. This is the third volume of a trilogy. Previous DC3 reports were dedicated, in 2017, to “Community networks: the Internet by the people, for the people” and, in 2016, to “Community Connectivity: Building the Internet from Scratch”. All volumes are freely available, under Creative Commons License. Below you will find the table of content as well as the early praise by Bruno Ramos (ITU) and Andrew Sullivan (ISOC) Feel free to share this email through your networks Best regards Luca “Community networks represent a valuable alternative model that deserves to be explored to improve access to Information and Communication Technologies to underserved communities worldwide. ITU is committed to connecting the entire world's people and this book and the work of the UN IGF Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity offer inspiring and transparent guidance to foster digital inclusion.” Bruno Ramos, Director for the Americas Regional Office of the International Telecommunication Union “Community Networks offer a credible solution for building a digital future that puts people first. This volume is a testament to the excellent work of the IGF Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity. It is a long-awaited guide that will allow many to participate in the Internet's evolution, building an Internet for everyone..” Andrew Sullivan President and Chief Executive Officer of the Internet Society CONTENT PREFACE by Bruno Ramos................................................................................................................................ 9 ABOUT THE AUTHORS......................................................................................................................................... 13 1 Community Networks: Bridging Digital Divides through the Enjoyment of Network Self-determination...................................................... 23 Luca Belli PART I: How to Build your Community Network..................................................................... 41 2 Building Community Wireless Networks: A How-to Guide for the Curious................................................................................................................................ 43 Steven Mansour and Sascha Meinrath 3 Building Community LTE Networks with CoLTE....................................... 75 Spencer Sevilla, Pathirat Kosakanchit, Matthew Johnson and Kurtis Heimerl 4 The MAZI Toolkit for Do-It-Yourself Networking....................................... 103 Harris Niavis, Stavroula Maglavera, Aris Dadoukis and John Mavridis 5 LibreRouter: the Hardware and Software Platform for Community Networking........................................................................................................ 119 Nicolas Echániz and Florencia López Pezé PART II: Scalable, Sustainable and Law-compliant Community Networks.......... 131 6 Multiple Dimensions of Community Network Scalability................... 133 Roger Baig Viñas, Leandro Navarro and Ramon Roca i Tió 7 Federating Community Networks: A Case-study from France................................................................................................. 159 Félix Tréguer 8 Fostering Sustainability of Community Networks: Guidelines to Respect the European Legal Framework..................... 177 Virginie Aubrée and Mélanie Dulong de Rosnay 9 Complementary Networks Meet Complementary Currencies: Guifi.net Meets Sardex.net ............................................................................................... 189 Panayotis Antoniadis, Jens Martignoni, Leandro Navarro and Paolo Dini 10 What Could Blockchain do for Community Networks......................... 223 Panayotis Antoniadis and Jens Martignoni 11 DECLARATION ON COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY........................................................ 248 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Luca Belli, PhD Professor of Internet Governance and Regulation, FGV Rio de Janeiro Law School Chercheur Associé, Centre de Droit Public Comparé, Université Paris 2 www.internet-governance.fgv.br @1lucabelli ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE This message, as well as any attached document, may contain information that is confidential and privileged and is intended only for the use of the addressee named above.
