[Air-L] Towards a people's Internet

[Livingstone,S]

Hi there - this is a great initiative. I would just like to point out, as 'we' write about 'the people' using the internet that fully one in three of them (as far as I can calculate) is aged under 18 and therefore children's particular needs, interests and voices should also be clearly counted within the 'we'.

Am writing a paper now to this effect - happy to receive thoughts and suggestions (or arguments against including children!)

All the best, Sonia

Hi all, 

Some have written to me with interest in the 2016 World Social Forum. At the
2015 Forum in Tunis, a new initiative was begun around an Internet Social Forum. It might convene again in Montreal, so this might be of interest to the AOIR community. Here¹s the main website for that:
http://www.internetsocialforum.net/?q=Home and here¹s the mailing list if you wish to subscribe: http://internetsocialforum.net/Join_ISF. Below I¹ve clipped a message recently posted to that list.

Best,
Becky Lentz
