Topics for general interest panels at ICANN 67?

[Stuart Reid]

I agree.  As someone who has worked for decades with the public housing community in New York City, including community networking, there is a significant underserved  population (estimated at 200,000) that, though it is "available", do not have Internet access at home.

Broadly speaking, we always talk about  connecting the unconnected, all our concentrations and discussions seems to fall within cities who have leverage over other.

Taken this discussions forward, why don't we look at a topic that tackles or try to address issues of the underserved communities. Example topi: Community Networks and Inclusion: The case of the underserved Communities.

You will all agree with me that even in most capital cities or even in the developed world, there is still communities that are still underserved and need to be served.

This is just my thoughts,

I am afraid I have not even reported on our action items from ICANN 66, and we are hitting deadlines for input to the planning for ICANN 67.  Tomorrow is the deadline for our input for suggested topics for the high interest panels for the meeting in Cancun in March....now I sure that can stretch, but lets start a discussion please.  It has been agreed that we do not need to discuss DNS Abuse again, after the panel in Montreal. So far one of the proposed topics is he DNS and the Internet of Things:  Opportunities, risks and Challenges.  I know there has been a lively discussion about the PIR sale, but I don't think it is a suitable topic for such a panel, others may disagree.

Please let me know and I will craft up a proposal if we come up with something.
