As an NPOC member this short email is a brief comment on our growing obligations, as citizens, in the Internet ecosystem: Earlier this year the OECD released a document on Broadband Policies for Latin America and the Caribbean. It is an excellent source for information about broadband polices and socio-economic development. It should be of particular interest to not-for-profits, social business, and community groups anywhere in the world. (See link below) Without exception every organization and individual on the planet is in some way within the Internet ecosystem. We are a r/esident/ of that Internet ecosystem within one more more political entities. Depending on where we live and where we work we are an /Inhabitant/ of some socio-economic sub-culture within those political entities. In short, we are all becoming /citizens//of the Internet ecosystem/, and as citizens we will increasingly both expect the /benefits of //citizenship, /for who we are and what we do, and be expected to be engaged in the/obligations of citizenship/. //Those obligations include engagement in policy making and implementation. / /For example, the repeated call for "/The Internet to be Free/" is not about it being literally a cost-less service. This is a call for it to remain accessible in ways that are integral to our notions of human rights and the individual freedom and dignity of individuals as community members, and as citizens both of our political entities and of the global Internet ecosystem. There is of course a concern with "/Access for All/". Within that there are both technological and economic issues around access, but even there the bigger issue is how we deploy our citizenship within the various political entities that set policy for the Internet ecosystem. Even our concerns about privacy and security are about our individual and human rights, above and beyond concerns for intellectual property protection, or national security. Here is a good introduction to the area of broadband policy making, to help each of use strengthen our roles as /citizens of the Internet ecosystem/, citizens engaged in the development of the Internet ecosystem. http://www.oecd.org/publications/broadband-policies-for-latin-america-and-th...
