Hi Here is some background on the speaker https://ischool.utoronto.ca/news/phd-student-wants-to-bridge-toronto-commun… Mersereau is in the final stages of editing his dissertation, which looks at broadband internet access as a basic utility in households. The onsite data collection for his research was carried out in late 2018 and early 2019 when he drilled down and asked residents at three different TCHC residential facilities about how they manage their basic needs. They talked to Mersereau about different household practices, including education, healthcare, finances and nutrition so he could see what, if any, role access to broadband played. “Most of the stuff with the school is online now,” said one single parent. “I can pay for my kid’s school trips and stuff like that, but the most important thing for us are the Google Docs and library reservations.” Older residents told Mersereau they used the internet for everything from watching physiotherapy exercise videos to booking transport. “I log into the UHN (University Health Network) website every day to make sure I haven’t missed an appointment or mixed up the medication I’m supposed to take,” said one senior. Another resident didn’t understand how people could get by without the internet. “Anything you need to do with Revenue Canada, applying for benefits and stuff, means you have to go online and connect to them through your bank, which means you need online banking,” the resident said. For Mersereau, surveying and talking to residents gave him “a real sense of how valuable having access to the internet is and what happens when that service is interrupted.” His goal was to provide tangible, evidence-based research to help inform policy outcomes related to universal access. His doctoral research built on his earlier Master’s thesis, which explored the role of Internet-based technologies in supporting and sustaining the organizational practices of Toronto’s Native-Men’s-Residence (Na-Me-Res). Mersereau credits his advisor, Professor Leslie Shade, for suggesting that investigating broadband use in basic needs activities “would make for a great PhD thesis”. As a result of his work in the field, as well as connections made advocating at City Hall for motorcycle safety, Mersereau had established relationships in the municipal bureaucracy, making it easier for him to get his proposal for TCHC to decision makers. With 110,000 low-income residents, the TCHC is the second largest social housing provider in North America, right behind New York City. In the past, the city had looked at the possibility of deploying enhanced WiFi networks and delivering broadband internet on its own, both of which were judged too challenging and complex. Having TCHC assume a kind of intermediary status as the service provider, as Mersereau proposes, is a simpler and quicker solution. If accepted, it would have to go out for a competitive bid. “The service will be there and residents will have access whether they choose to use it or not,” explains Mersereau. If accepted, it would function in the same way as Hydro and other utilities, which are included in the rent of 85% of TCH units. Households that want to retain their existing internet services would get a credit back on their base rent. Mersereau hopes that the pandemic has finally made it clear that “subsidizing broadband is not paying for people to watch Netflix. It’s subsidizing their ability to send children to school and perform basic financial activities, and stopping them from becoming further impoverished,” he says. *Update:* Michel Mersereau successfully defended his doctoral thesis, *The Essential Internet: Locating Internet Contingent Practices & Activities at the Toronto Community Housing Corporation*, on December 16.

Fwd: [SOAC-Leaders-ICANNMeeting-Planning] Message SOAC leaders about ICANN71 meetings with the Board
by Eduardo Diaz May 12, 2021

May 12, 2021

FYI. -ed ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: David Olive via SOAC-Leaders-ICANNMeeting-Planning < soac-leaders-icannmeeting-planning(a)icann.org> Date: Wed, May 12, 2021 at 1:42 PM Subject: [SOAC-Leaders-ICANNMeeting-Planning] Message SOAC leaders about ICANN71 meetings with the Board To: SOAC-Leaders-ICANNMeeting-Planning < soac-leaders-icannmeeting-planning(a)icann.org> Cc: Goran Marby <goran.marby(a)icann.org> Dear SOAC leaders: Thank you all for your continued hard work as we prepare for the ICANN71 Virtual Policy Forum. It is sometimes strange to recall that this will be the fifth consecutive ICANN Public Meeting where we will be meeting virtually rather than in person. Over the past 14 months, we have worked together to find ways to improve our interactions, including how the Board and the community engage with each other. This has inevitably meant that, in trying to be sensitive to the Board’s and community’s preferences while taking into account factors such as potential Zoom fatigue, time zones and volunteer burnout, we have not been consistent from meeting to meeting, resulting in some understandable confusion on the part of community members and in some cases the org staff as well. I therefore write to clarify the practice that we think is most appropriate for the upcoming Virtual Policy Forum. As you know, the three ICANN Public Meetings in our annual meeting cycle are the Community Forum, the Policy Forum and the Annual General Meeting, each with its specific objectives and duration as developed by the community-led Meetings Strategy Working Group and adopted by the Board in 2014. Where the Community Forum and AGM are each approximately six days long and include the traditional Constituency Day, the Policy Forum runs over four days and is dedicated to the community’s policy development work and regional outreach activities. This means that the Policy Forum was not designed to include a day set aside for Constituency Day. Over the past year, however, thanks to the community’s decision to organize fewer, more focused sessions for the virtual Public Meetings, we have been able to accommodate a number of community groups’ requests to meet with the Board at the last Policy Forum (ICANN68) as well as prior to and just after the AGM (ICANN70). We hope that this flexibility has meant that the Board and the community were able to maximize the time together, especially in view of time zone and other limitations imposed by a wholly virtual meeting format. For ICANN71, we have again received a number of community group requests to meet with the Board. As the Board wishes to continue its dialogues with all our community groups without affecting either its or their ability to attend and engage in the community sessions as was originally intended for a Policy Forum, we would like to maintain the traditional Policy Forum format for ICANN71. As a result,* with the exception of the regular Board-GAC bilateral meeting, we will schedule all other Board-community meetings for after ICANN71*. I have asked Mary Wong to contact all the affected groups to work with them and the Board Operations Team to ensure that these meetings can be scheduled as soon as is feasible. For those groups who had already requested meetings with the Board in the week after ICANN71, we will schedule these as requested. Thank you for your understanding and for working with all our staff to ensure that the ICANN Public Meetings continue to be productive and useful in advancing your work.
