-- TC teleconference - Mon. Dec. 18, 2017<br
class="">
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in" class="">Present:
Marita Moll, Shelley Robinson, Clarice
Leader</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in" class="">Regrets:
Tracey Axelson, James Van Leeuwen, Fred

A. Correction to agenda:
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in" class=""><font
class="" face="Times New Roman, Times,

carefully considered applications for

"Bringing TC out of dormancy..."</font></p>
<font class="" face="Times New Roman, Times,
serif"><br class="">
B. Agenda<br class="">
<br class="">
1. Bringing TC out of dormancy with
carefully considered applications for
project funding: </font>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in" class=""><font
class="" face="Times New Roman, Times,
serif">As Executive Director of National
Capital FreeNet, Shelley shared her vision
of how TC could be re-energized around an
anniversary conference celebrating 25/6
years since the 1993 and 1994 community
networking conferences in which TC was
founded. Although the actors have changed
and the technology has evolved, most of
the reasons for a national network of
Canadians concerned with equal access,
digital literacy, community ownership and
other community-based issues have not gone
away. </font> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in" class=""><font
class="" face="Times New Roman, Times,
serif">Since TC is a non-soliciting
not-for-profit corporation (meaning we are
severely limited in our ability to apply
for funds), NCF could act as the principal
sponsoring organization. If there is
enough support within the TC community for
such an event -- probably to take place in
2019 -- Shelley would work with this
community to develop a proposal and seek
appropriate funding routes. The goal would
be a concept paper supported by a range of
organizations that could be submitted to
appropriate funding organizations.</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in" class=""><font
class="" face="Times New Roman, Times,
serif">2. Expanding our reach:</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in" class=""><font
class="" face="Times New Roman, Times,
serif">TC should be inviting more people
from the community broadband movement to
join our list. Clarice and Shelley
discussed a network developing in Northern
Manitoba (headed by Ken Sanderson).
Clarice indicated that she had worked with
Ken and agreed to reach out and invite
this group to join the TC list.</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in" class=""><font
class="" face="Times New Roman, Times,
serif">It was noted that Clarice is also
in close contact with Jon Gerrard, who was
Secretary of State in the Government of
Jean Chrétien from 1993-1997 -- precisely
those years which would be celebrated in
the proposed conference. He was
subsequently leader of the Manitoba
Liberal Party and is still a Manitoba MP.
Clarice confirmed that he was still deeply
interested in community networking issues
and could be an ally. It was agreed that
we should explore the possibilities.</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in" class=""><font
class="" face="Times New Roman, Times,
serif">There was a discussion of an e-mail
Marita received from Fred Campbell noting
that local community media was
experiencing a resurgence in Newfoundland
and Labrador due to increasingly difficult
economic and social conditions. Fred
suggested that the National Campus and
Community Radio Association (NCRA) might
be any interesting partner for TC. Shelley
indicated that she moved from NCRA to head
NCF and so was very familiar with this
organization. Shelley and Marita would try
to find time in the New Year to meet with
Barry Rooke of NCRA to see if there was
enough common ground.</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in" class="">3.
Connectivity tools:</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in" class="">In the
context of organizing a livestream meeting
on ICANN policy issues, Marita is working
with several organizations (CIRA, ICANN,
ISOC) to explore communications tools that
might benefit us all. She will provide a
more detailed update on where this is going
in the next TC teleconference -- hopefully
January.</p>
