Dear colleagues, (apologies for cross-posting)

 

It is a pleasure to announce the release of “The Community Network Manual: How to Build the Internet Yourself”, which is published in partnership by FGV, ITU and ISOC and is the 2018 outcome of the IGF Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity (DC3)

 

The Community Network Manual features a series of analyses providing guidance on how to build Community Networks and how to make them scalable, sustainable and law-compliant. 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 contents of the Community Network Manual 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

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..”
