Thanks for initiating this, Maria. I think we all need to contribute =
to a dialog on this topic.
CIRA is one of the main sponsors of the Toronto ICANN meeting and they =
should be approachable at that time.
In the meantime, lets see if we can answer Kevin's question. =20
I suppose CIRA could help fund some CAP style community access. What I =
would really like to see is them come out strongly for municipal owned =
"broadband" infrastructure, but that is a faint hope as the incumbents =
would freak.

Please see below my request to Kevin to add some community content into
his CIRA platform and the response. The question he is posing is not
an easy one. Now that InCan has abandoned CAP and any kind of a
national policy, where can CIRA play an effective role? How does
Heather Dryden's presence there help or hinder.<br>
<br>
Please lend me your brains for this one.<br>

Yep, I'd be happy to. How did you see CIRA engaging on this? The IXP
project within the community investment program seems to be a pretty
good pilot for how this type of thing could work. There's a lot of
overlap with the CRTC/Industry Canada wrt the community access program
too, so I think we could probably engage there too.<br>
<br>
Can you help me understand what steps you were hoping to see CIRA take
towards community driven broadband? When I talk about it as part of my
campaign, I'd like to be really clear on some concrete steps CIRA can
take towards facilitating and supporting this type of development.<br>

As I negotiate support, would you consider adding to your platform,
some expression of support for things like:<br>
