Hi all, Some have written to me with interest in the 2016 World Social Forum. At the 2015 Forum in Tunis, a new initiative was begun around an Internet Social Forum. It might convene again in Montreal, so this might be of interest to the AOIR community. Here¹s the main website for that: http://www.internetsocialforum.net/?q=Home and here¹s the mailing list if you wish to subscribe: http://internetsocialforum.net/Join_ISF. Below I¹ve clipped a message recently posted to that list. Best, Becky Lentz McGill University
Now available in English -- a contribution to the debates around the ISF. Please circulate.
Towards a people¹s Internet <http://www.alainet.org/en/revistas/169787> No. 503, April 2015
The decisions about Internet development, its applications and uses hold implications for human rights, social and economic justice and democracy. This raises new challenges that require a public policy framework; yet our societies have not yet been able to process them adequately. Edition No. 503 (now in English) of ALAI's magazine Latin America in Movement examines several key aspects of these challenges.
