Hi all,
Perhaps we should contact the policy 'shepherds' and ask how we can put forward a new definition for consideration. I think it should be as simple as posting a proposed new definition to the ARIN policy mailing list and asking the community for comments.
As far as I am aware the policy has not been changed because there was no consensus gained during ARIN39 to remove the clause about community networks, mainly due to the comments made by the NARALO representatives. So, the policy will be discussed again at the next meeting in San Jose in October, and it would be a good idea to circulate a proposed definition before then.
Cheers,
Susannah

We already did provide an intervention -- at the meeting itself. The result was that the policy was not to be removed at the moment and that the definition of community networks (i.e. the demand that they be totally volunteer driven) should be revisited.
At least, that's how I remember it.

Hi
Leslie Noble made mention of the Community Network Policy Update
ARIN Removal of Community Network Policy
Perhaps we need to chat about this and be prepared to provide an intervention. Perhaps led by Shelly and Marita who are experts on community networks
My own focus is very small community network(mesh)

The two community network projects mentioned are:Thanks Glenn. Could you elaborate (or offer a link) on the reference to FIRE -- some comnet funding in place for Uganda & South Africa.

Hi
If you recall at the last ARIN meeting we saw many of our NARALO members comment on the ARIN Community Networks policy
See policy document
I spoke with ARIN staff about their programs on community networks today and they too are struggling with fee structure for AFRNIC Membership from community networks. Note they fund FIRE which has funded community networks in Uganda and in South Africa.
Perhaps we need to ask our community to request financial support for ARIN for community networks as well.
