Hi all, are you coming to the next GAIA workshop? :-)

In the workshop (16-17:30h, just before the "The Great British Pub Experience") we’ll have a “world-cafe” style discussion on:   Socio-economics in delivering the “Global Internet Access for All” (GAIA) vision (lessons, obstacles, models).
There will be reports and discussion about several experiences of developing connectivity, not always of broadband capacity, with diverse models, technologies, about all over the world, ... 

In order to bring diverse views (we’ve already several participants from community-driven initiatives)… 
Do you have any contact about other models of delivering the GAIA vision? 
E.g. commercial regional or national operators, non-profit or for-profit, including global ones like FB, Google Fibre, etc.

Given the location (London), it would be great to meet, learn and discuss with initiatives nearby, such as in the UK, Europe and bring diverse views. 

The ultimate goal is start producing a IRTF/IETF RFC working document on the topic of this session. 
By the way we can include the recent discussion about "Internet deployments that failed”.

Feel free to pass this to anyone else that could report and participate in the discussion.

All the best,
