Excellent News for Brazil, the IGF and Community Networks
by Luca Belli Feb. 21, 2020

Feb. 21, 2020

Dear colleagues, I would like to share some excellent news from Brazil, that has also a very positive impact on the IGF and its work. The Brazilian Telecoms Regulator ANATEL has explicitly and officially recognized Community Networks as an option for Internet access in Brazil and, while doing so, and explicitly mentions (and links) “The Community Network Manual” (2018 outcome of the IGF Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity) in the rational for this decision. https://www.anatel.gov.br/setorregulado/component/content/article/2-uncateg… This is, to date, the biggest country on hearth explicitly recognising the value of CNs. The creation of CNs in Brazil was already possible, as simplified ISPs, since 2017 (see our study here on CN in Latin America here https://www.internetsociety.org/resources/doc/2018/community-networks-in-la… ) but this is the first time ANATEL officially uses the CN terminology providing both legal and technical guidance (using the CN Manual!) on how to create them. This is not only important for Brazil but also represent another* piece of concrete evidence that the IGF is not a mere talking shop and when people want to use the IGF process to produce meaningful outcomes, they can. And, importantly, IGF outputs can have real impact on digital policies. My sincerest congratulations to ALL those who dedicated time to development and use of the CN Manual, particularly the members of the IGF Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity that are on on this list! All the best Luca * In case you are looking for other concrete examples, please find a selection below: - In 2018, the inclusion of the Zero Rating Map (developed by DCNN) in the State of the Internet Report of the French Telecom Regulator ARCEP https://www.arcep.fr/uploads/tx_gspublication/report-state-internet-2018_co… - In 2016 the inclusion of the Recommendations on Terms of Service and Human Rights in the ToS and HR the joint FGV & Council of Europe report on the subject https://www.coe.int/en/web/freedom-expression/home/-/asset_publisher/RAupmF… The Recommendations were later used for the elaboration of the CoE Recommendation (2018)2 of the Committee of Ministers on the roles and responsibilities of internet intermediaries https://search.coe.int/cm/Pages/result_details.aspx?ObjectID=0900001680790e… - In 2013 the inclusion of the Model Framework on Net Neutrality in this expert report ( https://rm.coe.int/16805a09ca )that originated the elaboration of the CoE Recommendation CM/Rec(2016)1of the Committee of Ministers on network neutrality https://search.coe.int/cm/Pages/result_details.aspx?ObjectID=09000016805c1e… [http://www.fgv.br/mailing/2018/direito_rio/assinatura/fgv_direito_rio.jpg] Luca Belli, PhD Professor of Internet Governance and Regulation [http://www.fgv.br/mailing/2018/direito_rio/assinatura/fgv_tel.jpg]+55 21 3799 5763 t @1lucabelli<https://twitter.com/1lucabelli> [http://www.fgv.br/mailing/2018/direito_rio/assinatura/fgv_direito_rio_map.j… de Botafogo, 190 13º andar Botafogo - Rio de Janeiro, RJ - CEP: 22250-900 [http://www.fgv.br/mailing/2018/direito_rio/assinatura/fgv_ass_email.jpg] luca.belli(a)fgv.br<mailto:luca.belli@fgv.br> [http://www.fgv.br/mailing/2018/direito_rio/assinatura/fgv_ass_url.jpg] www.cyberBRICS.info<http://www.cyberbrics.info/> | www.CPDP.lat<http://www.CPDP.lat>

Fwd: URGENT - WIPO Impact of Artificial Intelligence on IP Policy: Call for Comments
by Celina Beatriz Feb. 3, 2020

Feb. 3, 2020

Forwarding the request below. ---------- Forwarded message --------- De: Maja Bogataj <maja(a)ipi.si> Date: seg., 3 de fev. de 2020 às 11:03 Subject: URGENT - WIPO Impact of Artificial Intelligence on IP Policy: Call for Comments To: Beatriz Laus <beatriz.laus(a)itsrio.org> Cc: Celina Beatriz <celina(a)itsrio.org> Dear Beatriz and Celina, hope you are both fine. I would like to email a question to the centres in the NoC regarding the WIPO call for comments: Impact of Artificial Intelligence on IP Policy: Call for Comments *https://www.wipo.int/about-ip/en/artificial_intelligence/call_for_comments/index.html <https://www.wipo.int/about-ip/en/artificial_intelligence/call_for_comments/…> * (Deadline is February, 14, 2020.) I am working on this especially from the perspective of copyright. I think it would *be crucial to include more entities in the process, especially those who are focused on (constitutional aspects) privacy issues and not just IPl.* At least 2 issues deal with “privacy as property” questions in the call (Issue 8 and Issue 10). In the case when this important question is raised in the arena as is WIPO which is inclined to make and defend pro property arguments, a debate can easily become imbalanced. It would be essential to include more specialist on privacy issues. Are you familiar with activities of centres regarding this topic. Would it be possible to address this issue among members of the network and suggest to them to get involved? Please, advise me how to contact the centres involved. Kind regards MajaB.
