<p>Hello advisors. I will be attending ICANN77 in Washington D.C.
in a couple of weeks. There is a roundtable discussion:<br>
</p>
<font size="-1" face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"><font
face="verdana, sans-serif"><span style="color:black">"Government
efforts to expand Broadband Access in the US and Canada"
will explore and critique federal, state and local
initiatives to make broadband more available, affordable and
usable. The panel will look at different approaches taking
place in urban, rural and Indigenous communities and how
these efforts are progressing, including programs seeking to
improve access, financial affordability, device availability
and end user activation.</span></font></font><strong><br>

<p>One of our members from National Capital Freenet -- Andrew
Marty Asare will be speaking remotely about some work he and NCF
are doing on the ground to get people connected. I am also on
that panel. I am wondering if any of you have examples I can use
about how you are working with government programs to fill the
connectivity gap -- and how that is working out -- or not. This
is about different approaches -- and I am sure some of you have
some examples to offer.</p>
<p>Many thanks</p>
