<div>Hi Glenn -</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is Jane Coffin.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We will have a team on the ground in our efforts to promote more Wireless for Community networks.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Microsoft encouraged us as well as others to attend. After learning about the focus of the event, we agreed to sponsor.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also note that we are helping Battlemesh in Porto in early May with fellowships for their “youth” mesh hackathon. Sponsoring the fellowships came out of really great discussions with the Guifi.net team who we are also part of the Catalan chapter. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We have been talking to Guifi.net to understand more about their community commons-based network and are also hoping to talk to lots of folks at the DSA.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Looking forward to seeing you there!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And, for all on the list – any best-practices from any community networking activities that any of you may be involved with are most welcome. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We see a lack of published best-practices, business case, and regional events for community networking in some regions and are exploring more ways to amplify community practices and holding events to bring people together (kind of like our peering and
IXP meetings – stay tuned)!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you,</div>
<div>Jane</div>
<div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi <br>
As menitoned the Dynamic Spectrum Alliance Global Summit 2016 in Bogota Colombia has ISOC as a silver sponsor.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Note: <a href="http://6harmonics.com" target="_blank">6harmonics.com</a> a Canadian company is speaking at the conference. Microsoft is involved with TV Whitespace with 200 locations in the Phillipines. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Since the spectrum has opened it becomes an interesting opportunity for ISOC to speak up on this issue. I will be arriving on Tuesday afternoon and promoting IEEE SIGHT on Community of Practice on various connectivity projects we are doing including
a project with the new ISOC SIG on Enabling Communities with Communication Technologies. </div>
