[isoc-ny] WEBCAST TODAY – Community Networking Round Up 2016

[ISOC-NY announcements]

Number 8 of the 12 streams has an early start today, since I have an
ISOC-NY board meeting to attend later! In fact the stream is already
running. But don't worry plenty left to go, and you can always backtrack.

As you may know a key element of the Internet Society 2018 Action Plan
<https://www.internetsociety.org/action-plan/2018/> is to emphasize and
support Community Networking initiatives
<https://www.internetsociety.org/issues/community-networks/>. But this is
not a new thing! In fact it is our Asia Regional Bureau that got this
started in 2010 with networks and training. Watch this stream to find out
more, and also the stories of other great programs around the world.

As an extra bonus, at the end I will throw in Matthew Rantenen's flash talk
"A SUccessful Community Network" from the Indigenous Connectivity Summit
<https://www.internetsociety.org/events/indigenous-connectivity-summit/>
last November.
