• Ownership of the actual nodes to be retained by the people themselves
• Enforceable agreement that gives the community the right to disconnect a problematic node
• Industries want security on their investments (Guifi input)
• Part 97 of FCC Rules - License by rule, any purpose that's industrial scientific or medical - 2.4 & 5.8 GHz
• Creative Commons, pros and cons:
• Pros: Umbrella definition of a spectrum of licrnses that share some basic principles; easier to change
• Cons: Assumption that basic Creative Commons license is enough, when it really implies a wide spectrum; keeping it simple allows room for growth

• Guifi.net: Internet access as a service - all services must be allowed (net neutrality) - businesses make the network sustainable, so we need to accomodate them, too.
• Organization that maintains and educates around use of this license
• Distinguishing between the Foundation and the Network(s)
• Internal Versioning Number for the NCL (Network Commons License) is at version 0.2
• Goal is to share definitions

• Present on federation
• Do you know about this: https://github.com/freifunk/api.freifunk.net
• Licensing: Marc, Isaac
• Operational: Shaddih, 
• Firmware
• Communications / Remote Participation for IS4CWN

Guifi.net Operational Structure

• Open project - no membership fee or policies - you're a member if you decide you are
• Ownership of the network is distributed 
• License is also important
• Tries to automate as much as possible, to avoid manual intervention
• Use the tools available to solve problems, avoiding manual operation
• Nodes have a physical location, and can become supernodes 
• Ad-hoc mode not really used. To propagate the network, you must have at least two radios to receive and propagate - this model is sim[ply more supported
• No central point of authority - theoretically. Source code public and open, anyone can also set up a network infrastructure
• Technology-agnostic - strives to be as inclusive as possible
• Tools to check on the statistics of the network
• Use BGP (+ OSPF)
• Have routing problems - every day, hour, minute! BGP not meant for wifi
• Funded by itself - those who want to join must pay the cost of joining it, in charge of upgrading hardware, etc
• Up to the people themselves to keep up with maintenance
• Normally if a supernode goes down, it will be fixed within the next 48 hours
• They have a fundraising option to request money from the network
• Mostly run as a web of trust - mostly one degree of separation from each other
• Monopolistic mentality is internalized in Western culture - 
• When they first connected to the Internet, started receiving DDOS attacks
• Guifinet Foundation is the umbrella of many small ISPs in the network, using GuifiNet Foundation to connect to the Internet
• GuifiNet Foundation as an incubator for small businesses seeking to become their own ISPs
• Interested in cultivating a fair competition within the network
• Separating organization (run by benevolent dictator) from network (owned by community - can mutiny)
• How to deal with legal issues : Refer to EU directives; Telecom directives; referring to govs to get permission to deploy fiber - more complicated because not a traditional ISP; need to keep IP logs - data retention policy  -  what's the information content of that Ip address, what's discoverable from there?
• Who's the ISP, and how is that defined? Usually by size, or commercial interest

• Give away nodes or sell them for $5 in exchange for attending workshop
• The bigger you are, the more weird things you're going to face
• CALEA: Comms Assistant for Law Enforcement Act  --  local requirements for logging and reporting via industry best practices 
• Could say we don't log NAT because the technical requirements are too high

• Reach out to networks we don't even know about yet
• Roger Proposal: Commons For Europe
• Code For Europe / Bottom-Up Broadband
• Org of Orgs - at the Euro level? nah - talked to some other communities (eg Ninux, Freifunk [difficult as they are separated by city], Funkfeur - toward creating an organization to federate amongst. 
• What sort of organization do we want?
• What kind of participants?
• International agreements for participation
