Fwd: Rising Voices Seeks Micro-Grant Proposals for Citizen Media Outreach
by Carlton Samuels Jan. 13, 2011

Jan. 13, 2011

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Prasad Krishna <prasad(a)cis-india.org> Date: 12 January 2011 07:35 Subject: Rising Voices Seeks Micro-Grant Proposals for Citizen Media Outreach *Rising Voices is seeking project proposals from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) or individuals for funding of up to $4,000 USD for digital media outreach projects around the world. Application Deadline: Friday, February 4, 2011 at 11:59 PM GMT.* It has been more than three years since Rising Voices began with a simple mandate: to help bring new voices from underrepresented communities to the global conversation through the use of citizen media. We have been accomplishing that by providing microgrant funding, as well as technical and mentoring support to our grantee communities. Ever since the first microgrant competition was announced in May 2007, we have provided seed funding to 24 projects from around the world to help turn their ideas into reality. The diversity of these grantee projects has made Rising Voices a unique place on the web to have a firsthand look at places around the world, such as *Tamatave, Madagascar< http://crm.cis-india.org/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/exter… > * and *Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia< http://crm.cis-india.org/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/exter… > *, through the first-person accounts of these new bloggers. Beginning on January 11th, 2011, Rising Voices is launching the latest round of microgrant funding and is now accepting project proposals from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) or individuals for funding of *up to $4,000 USD* for digital media outreach projects around the world. Ideal applicants will present innovative and detailed proposals to teach citizen media techniques to underrepresented communities that are poorly positioned to discover and take advantage of tools like blogging, video-blogging, or podcasting on their own. Who is Eligible to Apply This funding opportunity is open to both NGOs and private individuals. However, if an NGO does not have experienced citizen media trainers on their staff, it is extremely important that they seek collaboration with the local blogging community to find the right trainer(s) with the necessary skills. On the other hand, it would also be highly beneficial for individual applicants to partner with an existing NGO from the communities they plan to serve in order to strengthen the project's impact. What Kind of Projects May be Funded Rising Voices seeks project proposals that share our mission of bringing voices from new communities, as well as underrepresented language groups to the online global conversation through the use of citizen media. The projects' primary activities should be to provide citizen media training workshops to the target community, as well as ongoing support and mentoring to the participants. Please see our roster of current and alumni grantee projects for examples of previously funded projects. Examples of potential projects include: - Distributing flip video cameras to local residents to help map and document environmental issues affecting the area and to propose solutions. - Partnering with a local library with a computer lab to train youth how to record and document the history of their local neighborhood by using mp3 recorders to interview local elders. - Organizing blogging workshop for local artisans to help them market their work online, but also tell the story and history of their handicrafts. - Distributing $10 digital cameras to two different groups in different neighborhoods and create a Flickr group where they interact with each other's photographic perspectives of their city. Application Process Interested applicants should complete the online proposal application form (link here< http://crm.cis-india.org/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/exter… >), which should also include a detailed budget. If you would like to download the application questions to complete offline in order to upload later, please download the text document here (PDF< http://crm.cis-india.org/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/exter… > format). While we welcome and encourage projects from all corners of the global, all applications must be completed in English. *Online Application Form*< http://crm.cis-india.org/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/exter… > Rising Voices outreach grants will range from $2,000-4,000 USD. Please be as thoughtful, specific, and realistic as possible when drafting your budgets. Applicants are encouraged to submit budgets for less than the maximum $4,000 USD as smaller grants allow us to fund more projects. Rising Voices outreach grants will range from $2,000-4,000 USD.

All applicants will receive a confirmation email indicating that we have received your proposal. The proposals will be reviewed by a committee of Global Voices staff and volunteers, as well as members of previous Rising Voices grantees. We will announce the grant recipients by February 28, 2011.

Politicas on Directions IP

[[--Translated text (es -> en)--]] Subject: Politicas on Directions IP From: andrespiazza(a)gmail.com Considered, we know that the discussions of Policy well on subjects of Directions are not those that but abound. At this moment I want to copy an originating connection of the Forum of PolÃticas of LACNIC, respect to discusiÃ³n by a Global PolÃtica (versiÃ³n 1,2) in order to define cÃ³mo it is going to distribute to IANA the space of IPv4 Directions, when they are exhausted (is understood by Exhaustion segÃºn this process, when RIR must less of /8 to distribute). One of the important subjects mÃ s is the establishment of a Pool of RecuperaciÃ³n, in IANA, to be used soon of the exhaustion of addresses. This reemplazarÃa, virtually, to the global polÃticas effective: * - Global PolÃtica of DistribuciÃ³n of the IPv4 Space Surplus * http://www.icann.org/en/general/allocation-Ââremaining-Ââipv4-Ââsp… - * PolÃtica Of distribuciÃ³n of IPv4 Blocks of the IANA to the Registries Regional of Internet (RIRs) * http://aso.icann.org/wp-Ââcontent/uploads/2009/09/aso-Ââ001-Ââ2.pdf When this pool estÃ© active, the unit mÃnima of distribuciÃ³n serÃ mÃnima that uses all the RIRs and mÃ xima the /8, among othermeasures. I believe that the propitious place to debate is the same list of the Forum of LACNIC, whoever to comment out their can do it allÃ, and we can at the same time to try to have some opiniÃ³n formed like THIN, to take as much to the channels of ICANN like a the regional ones. Greetings, AndrÃ©s Considered members of the list, VersiÃÂ³n (1.2) of global polÃÂtica LAC-2010-04 was published new.

Statement on 2011-2014 Strategic Plan / thanks for your input
by Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond Jan. 12, 2011

Jan. 12, 2011

Dear Latin American and Caribbean RALO and RALO members, as you have read in a separate note, I have recently filed an At-Large Statement on behalf of the At-Large constituency about the 2011-2014 Strategic Plan. On behalf of the ALAC Executive Committee, I wanted to thank you very much for feeding your regional input into the process. This year, the scheduling of comment period and all its process was changed by ICANN in order to give the At-Large community an earlier opportunity to be directly involved with the ICANN process. Unfortunately, this ended up running during the holiday period and we therefore had to work under pressure. Even with such a time pressure, the response we have had was very good. A lesson learned for next year is that we will leave more time for RALOs to bring their input and discuss it. In fact, you will notice that we have made a comment about this in our statement too. In the meantime, I wanted to congratulate Latin American and Caribbean RALO Leaders for their fast turn-around and At-Large Structures in the region for their response. It doesn't stop here. The information that the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) uses to draft those Statements comes from you. Your involvement will therefore always be much appreciated and we therefore hope that you will continue being an active part in the process. If you have missed the chance to comment this time, we look forward to hearing from you the next time round. Warm regards, Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond ALAC Chair
