WEBCAST WED: 2021 Indigenous Connectivity Summit Policy Recommendations Launch Webinar
On Wednesday December 1 2021 at 14:00 EST (19:00 UTC) the Internet Society will host a webinar to formally release the 2021 Indigenous Connectivity Summit (ICS) Policy Recommendations. This release event will provide an overview of the Policy Recommendations and the impact that they can have on the state of connectivity in Indigenous communities in the US and Canada. The conversation will be led by members of the ICS community.

The Recommendations were the culmination of six weeks of trainings on the role of policy and advocacy in the current connectivity environment. Participants — which included over 80 individuals from the US and Canada, most of whom are members of Indigenous communities —used the dialogue over these trainings to collaboratively develop a set of recommendations that aim to support Indigenous Communities in providing their own connectivity solutions. On the final day of the 2021 ICS, participants reviewed, contributed to, and ultimately adopted these recommendations as an official output of the summit. The Policy Recommendations build on previous documents in 2019 and 2020.

WEBCAST TODAY: Spectrum and Indigenous Connectivity: Intervening in ISED Consultation
Today Friday Oct 1 2021 at 11:00 EDT (15:00 UTC) ISOC.LIVE will webcast a recording of the Internet Society Sep 21 webinar to discuss the importance of spectrum for enabling broadband Internet service in Indigenous communities across Canada. Ensuring access to adequate spectrum provides opportunities for underserved communities to connect themselves with reliable, affordable Internet that is provided by the current market.

In August, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) initiated a consultation on a new supplementary licensing process (Access Licensing framework) for unused spectrum to support innovation and the availability of rural services. If implemented correctly, this process can be a major benefit for Indigenous connectivity efforts across Canada.

This webinar provided the background needed to engage in ISED’s consultation process, which closes on October 12, focusing on the importance of spectrum for Indigenous communities, the current state of spectrum policy in Canada, promising practices for spectrum allocation in the US, and navigating the consultation process.

WEBCAST OCT 12 -15: 5th Indigenous Connectivity Summit
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.
