[Pal-dc] 2016 IGF Main Session: DC-PAL Substantive Paper

[Janet Sawaya]

Dear all,

 

IGF Dynamic Coalitions have agreed to produce substantive papers for this
year's IGF DC Main Session.  The papers will serve as collective background
material for the session and be put forward individually for feedback, both
in advance of the IGF and during the IGF itself.  The requirements for the
paper are in the attached document.  

 

The attached is a first draft of for the DC-PAL paper, produced by IFLA,
EIFL, and Gigabit Network.  I want to emphasize this is a first draft as we
want your input.  Any and all comments and input are welcome.  In
particular, we would like add a section that answers two questions:

 

*        How will access to the internet expand without public access? Or
what would be the implications of not having public access?

*        How is public access being addressed in different context?

Please reply to this email to provide your input.

 

The deadline for the first draft is Friday, September 30.  Any content or
comments received before then will be incorporated in the first draft.
There is a second draft due November 1, so if you cannot comment in the next
couple of days, please do so by Sunday, November 20 so that we can
incorporate your ideas into the next draft.  

 

Note the paper is already at the 5-page limit.  Content will be cut once
additional content and comments are received.

 

I look forward to hearing your input!

Janet
