This session aims at taking stock of the existing research efforts with regard to community networks governance, technical developments and regulations. Panelists will identify lacunae regarding the aforementioned issues and put forward suggestions to bridge them.

This session will help us to strategize the commonalities and differences between and amongst the regions, and to further map-out recommendations that can lead to discussions among and between the CN community, policy makers, operators, regulators, and governments.

A proposal for Community Network Policy Recommendations, elaborated by the Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity (DC3) of the UN Internet Governance Forum, will be presented. Panelists will discuss how to implement the existing body of research and policy suggestions in order to facilitate and promote the deployment of community networks and an appropriate and enabling regulation of such initiatives around the world.
