WEBCAST SEP 20-SEP 22: Caribbean Telecommunications Union ICT Week 2021 #CTUICTWeek2021 @TheCtunion
On Monday 20 September – Friday 24 September, 2021 the Caribbean Telecommunications Union hosts CTU ICT Week 2021 with the theme ‘Regional Imperatives for Digital Transformation Post COVID-19‘.

There have been many COVID-19 success stories at the national level within CARICOM Member States, including digital platforms to manage testing, vaccination programmes, and travel. ICT Week presents an opportunity for Caribbean countries to learn from each other regarding what has worked well, and what opportunities exist to share knowledge and build capacity regionally. This is particularly important as regional governments seek to create a travel “bubble” within CARICOM that would facilitate easy and safe movement within the Single Space.

Two public sessions will be livestreamed. (all times AST = UTC-4)

Monday 20th September 2021, 1:30pm-4:00pm – Joint Meeting of 43rd Executive Council(EC43) + 24th General Conference of Ministers (GC24)
This session will feature presentations of the projects and initiatives of the CTU Secretariat and Members.

Wednesday 22nd September 2021, 9:00am -3:30pm – 17th Ministerial Seminar
This session will feature presentations by various ICT industry leaders and is designed to bring policy-makers up to speed with new and emerging technology trends that may require public policy interventions.

WEBCAST THU: Measuring the Internet in Africa Project (MIRA) Quarterly Update #InternetResilience
On Thursday 16 September 2021 at 13:00 UTC the Measuring the Internet in Africa (MIRA) project will hold its first quarterly update meeting. The project uses Internet measurements gathered by measurement devices called MIRA pods, which are located within African countries, to 1) Determine levels of Internet resilience in African countries over time by recording specific metrics, including throughput and latency (the time it takes to reach various Internet destinations); 2) Increase the number of Internet measurement vantage points in Africa, i.e., the places from which measurements are taken; 3) Make the data available to everyone, everywhere on the Internet Society’s Pulse platform.

During this one hour webinar, topics include: The MIRA Internet Resilience Index; MIRA Pods deployment and hosting; MIRA Pods data visualization

MIRA is a joint initiative between African Network Information Centre (AFRINIC) and the Internet Society.

WEBCAST TODAY: Internet2 Internet History Webinar ‘How the US NSFNET Regional Academic Networks Evolved to Become the Global Internet (1985 — 1995)’
Today, Tuesday 14 September 2020, at 13:00 EDT (18:00 UTC) Internet2 hosts an Internet History Webinar: ‘How the US NSFNET Regional Academic Networks Evolved to Become the Global Internet (1985 — 1995)‘.

The National Science Foundation’s (NSF) NSFNET Program (partially) funded a range of (academic) regional networks1, starting in 1985/86. Over a relatively short period of time, the regional networks developed their customer base and funding models and became Internet service providers (ISPs). Connections to the Federal Internet Exchange(s) (FIXs) and the Commercial Internet eXchange(s) (CIXs) were developed, and some of the regional networks evolved to become global ISPs.

The webinar will feature short presentations from some of the Regional Network / ISP pioneers, followed by a panel discussion and Q&A session.

WELCOME AND INTRODUCTION
Ana Hunsinger, Vice President, Community Engagement, Internet2
Dennis Jennings, former First Program Director for Networking, NSF

PANEL
Glenn Ricart, SURAnet
Elise Gerich, NSFNET National Backbone
Susan Estrada, CERFnet
DISCUSSANT Guy Almes, Sesquinet

WEBCAST OCT 12 -15: 5th Indigenous Connectivity Summit #2021ICS @ISOC_NA #internetforeveryone
On Tuesday 12 October 2021 – Friday 15 October 2021 the Internet Society will convene the 5th Indigenous Connectivity Summit online. Each year the ICS community comes together to discuss ways to ensure Alaska Native, American Indian, Inuit, Native Hawaiian, First Nations and Métis communities have affordable, high-quality and sustainable Internet access, and talk about how connectivity supports social and economic development.

The ICS 2021 will highlight Indigenous communities pursuing innovative and independent ways to connect to the Internet and their unique challenges to connectivity – further complicated by exclusion from national markets and the policy making processes that support them.
