Dear colleagues,

I think the members of this list might be interested in the release of “The Community Network Manual: How to Build the Internet Yourself<https://email07.godaddy.com/%20http:/bibliotecadigital.fgv.br/dspace/handle/10438/25696%20>”, which is published in partnership by FGV<https://portal.fgv.br/en>, ITU<https://www.itu.int/en/Pages/default.aspx> and ISOC<https://www.internetsociety.org/> 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 was launched at the IGF during the DC3 Session: When the Unconnected Build Connectivity<https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2018-dc-community-connectivity-when-the-unconnected-build-connectivity-dc3>

Here is URL to freely download the volume http://bibliotecadigital.fgv.br/dspace/handle/10438/25696

FYI, 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<http://communityconnectivity.xyz/>” and, in 2016, to “Community Connectivity: Building the Internet from Scratch<https://bit.ly/2gZB2kn>”. All volumes are freely available, under Creative Commons License.

Below you will find the table of contents 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..”
