The conversation will be led by members of the ICS community. The Recommendations were the culmination of six weeks of trainings on the role of policy and advocacy in the current connectivity environment. Participants — which included over 80 individuals from the US and Canada, most of whom are members of Indigenous communities —used the dialogue over these trainings to collaboratively develop a set of recommendations that aim to support Indigenous Communities in providing their own connectivity solutions. On the final day of the *2021 ICS <https://www.internetsociety.org/regions/north-america/>*, participants reviewed, contributed to, and ultimately adopted these recommendations as an official output of the summit. The Policy Recommendations build on previous documents in *2019 <https://www.internetsociety.org/resources/doc/2020/2019-ics-policy-recommendations>* and *2020 <https://www.internetsociety.org/resources/doc/2020/2020-ics-policy-recommendations/>* . *SPEAKERS* *Leonardo Wassilie* (Alaska) *Niniau Kawaihae* (Hawai'i) *Madeleine Redfern* (Nunavut) (+ more) *HOST* *Anna Higgins*, Internet Society *LIVESTREAM http://livestream.com/internetsociety/ICS2021RECS <http://livestream.com/internetsociety/ICS2021RECS>* *PARTICIPATE VIA ZOOM https://bit.ly/3DUqn2f <https://bit.ly/3DUqn2f>* *REAL TIME TEXT* (see ISOC.LIVE) *TWITTER #2021ICS @ISOC_NA #indigenous* *SIMULCASTS* *https://www.twitter.com/ISOC_Live/ <https://www.twitter.com/ISOC_Live/>* *https://www.twitch.tv/isoclive <https://www.twitch.tv/isoclive>* *https://www.facebook.com/liveisoc/* <https://www.facebook.com/liveisoc/> (AI Captions) *https://www.facebook.com/ISOCNewMexico/ <https://www.facebook.com/ISOCNewMexico/>* (AI Captions) *ARCHIVE* *https://archive.org/details/ICS2021RECS <https://archive.org/details/ICS2021RECS>* *PHOTO*: Jim Schlichting *Permalink* https://isoc.live/14828/ - -- -------------------------------------- Joly MacFie +12185659365 -------------------------------------- -
