Specifically, I'm keen to move us forward with our schedule, and discuss the following two issues from our schedule: 4. What worked well, identifying common effective practices 5. Unintended consequences of policy interventions, good and bad I've reviewed the recent exchanges on the list, and also the helpful summaries. I note that so far we have looked at regional specificities, as well as existing policy measures and private sector initiatives & impediments for the creation of local content under the following three areas: Area 1 - Human Capacities Area 2 - Technical Infrastructure Area 3 - Legal Frameworks I'm including them again here to again act as a guide as we move forward. Our next task is to identify what's worked well so far when it comes to the eventual creation of local content. What is common effective practice, where you come from? Is it possible to see, based on your input, if successful approaches have anything in common with each other? Have there been any unintended consequences, positive or negative, from the policy interventions that have been used to try to stimulate the production of local content in your country? The output from the discussions so far leads me to believe that we are in pretty good shape in terms of getting something to the consultants who will synthesise our discussions. I hope we can add some more quality information as we move through our discussion of effective practices and unintended consequences. Looking forward to hearing from you all.

Date: Tue, 5 Aug 2014 22:12:01 +0400 Subject: [Bp_localcontent] Infographic on Content Localisation Program from African region Message-ID: Greetings All My name is Duksh, I am the Web & Multimedia Team Lead from the African Network Information Center (AFRINIC - www.afrinic.net) and I have been gladly following the discussion since the beginning. I would like to share some facts and figures in the form of the attached infographic containing all the processed data gathered from participants of the first Content Localisation Workshop (focusing on the African region) which I organised during the second Africa Internet Summit (AIS'14) in Djibouti (more details at http://internetsummitafrica.org/). When we talk about Content Localisation my main request/ focus/ input will go towards the need for capacity building as I firmly believe that this will be the triggering factor that will trigger a faster development in this field and add value to the economy at the same time. The workshop ( http://internetsummitafrica.org/images/AIS14_assets/powerpoint_template/DK_OLCD_af20_1.pdf) I organised was the first experiment and the feedback obtained has confirmed this as you can see. Seizing this opportunity I would also like to invite people interested in such capacity building program using open source technologies for their region and to get in touch and lets work towards an agreeable objective. This is it for the moment. Hope the infographic will be of use to you. Duksh K.

However, within the interest or subject of this thread of conversation, I need to mention a recent relevant experience of our country, which is a commission that ICT Ministry recently made to the Trust for the Americas Foundation to further studies and recommendations on Digital Culture ? defined as the set of social practices in which meaning is created as well as new ways of redefining social interactions, due to the mediation of digital interconnected technologies. The first study, "Digital Culture for a Full Life" contains a strategy for the promotion of digital culture in Colombia for the next 3 years. The study aims to support sustainable development and progress in people?s lives as a new paradigm for digital culture in the country. This strategy, proposes to start with detecting and supporting bottom-up processes, as well as coordinating actions among main actors of the digital culture ecosystem: citizenship, government and enterprises. Both local and international valuable experiences are gathered, also analysis of current trends in public agendas in digital culture of other countries, including a Colombian analysis. It concludes with recommendations and opens questions for future discussions regarding digital culture promotion. The second study is a Digital Culture Survey 2013 conducted by the National Consulting Center. Some relevant data for this discussion resulting from the survey is: Creators on the Internet are indeed increasing, but predominantly audiovisual creation over written formats and digital programming. 11% of Internet users in Colombia create, build or recycle content on the Web. Over 35% make comments or participate and 54% just observe contents without commenting. Among the designers and builders of content on the Internet, 68% use photos, 56% images, 42% music and 38% video. It states that 84% of content creators on the web are amateur while 16% do so professionally. The third study consisted of a research with the School of Information at the University of Michigan called "Culture in a Connected World: Exploring Digital Work Observatories". In this study, digital culture observatories in the world are analyzed and recommendations are made in order to create one in Colombia.

Your question relates to section three - existing policy measures. Given your position you could provide very useful insight into which policy measures in Egypt currently exist that enable and/or foster the development of local content. Would you be willing to share some insights on these existing policy measures in Egypt? Also, what the group needs to talk about now is what works well as a result of existing policy measures, and what does not work well. We also need to collect stories about the unintended consequences - good and bad - of these policies. We're at the crux of the exercise, in my humble opinion, where these contributions are most important. :) Sincerely, Susan On Mon, Aug 4, 2014 at 12:00 PM, wrote: > Send Bp_localcontent mailing list submissions to > bp_localcontent at intgovforum.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > > http://mail.intgovforum.org/mailman/listinfo/bp_localcontent_intgovforum.org > > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > bp_localcontent-request at intgovforum.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > bp_localcontent-owner at intgovforum.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Bp_localcontent digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

I've just discovering your great work. But about Content Localisation, I think that you are taking the issue by the other side. Since the beginning, we have considered that we just have to address the concern of adding new content coming from a region and which can be first relevant to that region and after being digitalised to be GLOBALISED (i.e. Worldly and Widely accessible). Your view has addressed a, perhaps forgotten, possibility about already digitalised content. By the way, it seems as you are speaking about existed digital content that need to be translated prior to be more usefull for people of other countries. But I can also see the Localisation issue as a step after the creation and digitalisation of relevant Local Content prior to be archived on server and shared online . So I want to ask if it's not more accurate to use Open Source Solutions to directly translate a content after the creation and digitalisation ? For instance, in Cameroon we'll be able to share a content coming from the "Bamil?k?" ancestral culture with other Cameroonians : "Yambassa", "Bantous", "Peuls", "Bamoun", "Bassa'a", "Baya", "Douala", ... Important example of application because in Cameroon we have 250 languages. If I'm not right, please I'm open. So, Please, do you have any other information, you can share with us, about our, still, pending questions ? :-) Recalling Stuart's last words; for all us please : 1- Our next task is to identify what's worked well so far when it comes to the eventual creation of local content. 2- What is common effective practice, where you come from? 3- Is it possible to see, based on your input, if successful approaches have anything in common with each other? 4- Have there been any unintended consequences, positive or negative, from the policy interventions that have been used to try to stimulate the production of local content in your country? It's looks as you have more for us. ;-) Thx and Regards, --sb. Le 05/08/2014 19:12, bp_localcontent-request at intgovforum.org a ?crit : > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Almost done... In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hello Susan, Speaking for myself, I agree these are the most important questions, because I believe there are relatively few good answers so far ? which is why this is such a worthwhile initiative. As I have been, I will mainly focus on area 1 regarding the technical infrastructure for hosting within a country or regionally. On this front, I would divide between policies that indirectly help to promote local content and those that directly help to promote local content, and I think we have a pretty good idea of the former. Historically speaking, the situation in Africa and Latin America is somewhat similar to the situation in Europe in the 1990s. At that time, the majority of European traffic was passing through the US (I heard that at one point 66% of European traffic was going through the MAE-East NAP near Washington DC), and much of the content was originating there as well. Part of the reason was based on the historical role of the US in developing the early Internet, and part of it due to European policies. At the time, most European markets were monopolies, and capacity within and between European countries was very expensive ? since a link to the US was needed anyway, it was efficient to use it for most traffic. Then European markets began to liberalise, capacity prices came down, and the non-profit IXP model emerged to be used for local and regional traffic exchange, and then the largest grew into significant hubs for content as well. With all of the new cables to Africa and their open access policies, and more capacity in Latin America as well, the prices for capacity are going down quite a bit, and now of course there are an increasing number of IXPs in countries that can be used to exchange traffic and host content. From work we have done in Africa, the situation is not quite as promising for terrestrial capacity, to take traffic within a country, or for cross-border connectivity, where there are barriers to crossing borders and picking up traffic in other countries ? this is particularly an issue for the sixteen landlocked countries of Africa and two, and for promoting the development of efficient regional hubs for traffic exchange and content. (We are about to start studies of this issue for Latin America and Asia, but they will not be ready in time) However, the indications are generally promising in this regard. For instance, in East Africa, Liquid just completed a fiber ring through the five countries, and there are good reciprocal licensing arrangements whereby an ISP from one country can connect to and exchange traffic at an IXP in another country without a license in that country (which would only be needed to sell services in that country). Likewise, there is a good understanding of the conditions for promoting broadband access to increase the number of users and usage. As important as these policies are, they are indirect policies that create the conditions under which there is more local content available, but do not focus on increasing the amount of local content per se. My sense is that less has been done in this respect. I know that some governments have required that their own content is hosted locally ? such as Rwanda ? which helps to promote the creation of hosting infrastructure, but I do not know of any other policies to promote this. Other general policies that help to promote local content, I believe, would be a focus on promoting the use of the local ccTLD, which gives the websites a domestic focus, and often resolve quickly with a local root server. I don?t have any experience in this, but I would gather this has been helped by IDNs, in countries that do not use ASCII script. Also, we have come across a number of innovation hubs in countries, which provide a space with Internet access, mentorship, possibly seed money, etc., and can act as incubators for developing local content ? I am not aware of any research that shows the results of these hubs, but it also seems quite promising. In addition to creating the infrastructure for hosting content, there is also a need for appropriate legislation and capacity building, and then the hardest piece is the creativity and innovative drive behind new apps and services, and that of course is much harder to promote. Looking forward to the call tomorrow.

I have to admit the concept of 'local content' is quite an unusual one. The research and national libraries that make up The European Library tend to define their collections in a global or national way rather than a local one. However, if we can think in terms of local content as being national content (and national digitisation strategies), then the concept becomes easier to talk about. Many national libraries begun digitisation by have pursuing policies that have allowed them to digitise what they consider their national treasures. This was very popular in the early days of the Internet and produced exhibitions like this - http://www.theeuropeanlibrary.org/exhibition/ However, this is no longer a feasible approach. Users expect to see a broader spectrum of content available not just the featured, canonical highlights. Some countries have engaged in more systematic digitisation (eg books in Norway) which has been facilitated by collective rights agreements. Other countries have this approach for historic newspapers, working with a moving wall target to 70 or more years, and aiming to digitise all the newspapers before that date. But books or newspapers are only a few of the media that a nation can digitise. Creating a sense of a national corpus of material is difficult for a host of reasons - the collections are dispersed not just in different public and private institutions in their own country, but in other countries' institutions; different funding structures and lack of coherent policies (on quality of digitisation, degrees of openness etc.) mean different collections are digitised in different contexts at different standards; various metadata standards means it is difficult to make dispersed content interoperable. Crowdsourcing / community engagement is another lens to look at this issue. By creating digital content and then, via various means, asking local / national audiences to engage with that content provides a firmer link between a collection and its public(s). The UK funding body, Jisc funded many projects along these lines in the UK and produced a report on the issue. They used the concept of 'community content' rather than 'local content' http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/digitisation/communitycontent.aspx http://www.jisc.ac.uk/media/documents/programmes/digitisation/dcatwefinalreport_final.pdf The whole tenor of this work was it allowed communities not just to access content but to engage with it in more meaningful ways. This may well be a fruitful way of thinking about 'local content' Alastair Alastair Dunning Programme Manager, The European Library http://theeuropeanlibrary.org/ (Based in the National Library of the Netherlands) skype: xcia0069 twitter: alastairdunning From Stuart.Hamilton at ifla.org Tue Aug 12 13:51:19 2014 From: Stuart.Hamilton at ifla.org (Stuart Hamilton) Date: Tue, 12 Aug 2014 17:51:19 +0000 Subject: [Bp_localcontent] Call, Tuesday 12th August Message-ID: <66588800-554E-43E5-99F7-9390870263AE@ifla.org> Dear Colleagues Just a quick update on today?s call on local content.

In terms of subject talk, an interesting point was raised by Michael regarding ?needed? or ?potential? policies as opposed to existing ones - perhaps we have lost a little bit of momentum at this point in the conversation as a result of there not being that many policies out there for enabling the creation of local content. It was suggested that maybe the BPF session in Istanbul could move through a discussion of what does exist into a concluding section on what really should exist, based on what we do know. I made several references to the post on the list this week by Alastair at the European library, and wondered if, as someone who works in the European library sector, there might actually be a lot more policies out there than we realise - perhaps we are looking in the wrong place. After all, the EU has been funding regional programmes on digitising and making available national content through libraries and archives for many years, as have Member States. Glen gave us an example from France - EINA, an archiving organisation - whereby a government mandate allowed EINA to archive French video and radio broadcasts. This, coupled with Alastair?s comments on the phrase ?local content? not being recognised in his sector, made me think there might be policymaking going on in the area we are looking at, but just using different terminology. Of course, we should not just limit ourselves to the library and archive sector. Martha shared that in Colombia there are many more experiences to choose from regarding the production of local content, but there are not policies driving them - yet they are happening nonetheless. She raised the need for more articulation in a policy sense, and also referred back to the difficulty of defining the issue - which made me wonder: if it can?t be done easily in a group of experts, how easy will it be for policymakers? We did limit ourselves to about 30 minutes of chat due to a low turnout. In terms of next steps, Susan and I will confer with John to give you an update on the draft outcome document, and we?ll also discuss the session format and panellists and get back to you on that. More soon. In the meantime, please do not hesitate if anything more springs to mind in terms of policies, success stories and unintended consequences. All of the information we can share will be useful for John?s document.

Perhaps the biggest change brought on by the Internet is that it enables everyone to be a creator of content.

We still have work ahead of us though -:), so here are proposed steps to get prepared for Istanbul: 1. Lead Experts of this group need to send the description of each 90 min Best Practices Forum (list of panelists, etc.) to the Secretariat (cmasango at unog.ch and STELEANU at unog.ch) asap. 2. Lead Experts will be working in the coming days with Wout de Natris and John Laprise, the two consultants working with the Secretariat, on tightening up the draft outcomes. The drafts should reflect the mailing lists/webinars' discussions, answers to the common template questions (attached) but also background research conducted by the consultants. 3. The goal is for Lead Experts or the consultants to share the first drafts with their various lists by 20 August, inviting for public comments. 4. The draft outcomes will be presented by Lead Experts during each Best Practices Forum, in Istanbul, and during the Best Practices Main Session (please plan to participate: 4 Sept, 14:30, Main Session Room). 5. After the IGF, the consultants will work comments gathered during the IGF into the drafts, before final publication. Here is the schedule of the 5 Best Practices Forums is Istanbul: * 2 Sept., 11:00 - 12:30, Room 1: Creating an Enabling environment for the Development of Local Content * 3 Sept. 14:30 - 16:00, Room 1: Regulation and mitigation of unwanted communications (e.g. Spam) * 3 Sept. 16:30 - 18h00, Room 1: Developing Meaningful Multistakeholder Mechanisms * 4 Sept. 9:00 - 10:30, Room 1: Online Child Protection * 4 Sept. 11:00 - 12:30, Room 1: Establishing and Supporting CERTs for Internet Security * 4 Sept. 14:30 - 16:00, Main Session Room: IGF Best Practices Main Session Ahead of the IGF, Wout and John will also be working with the Secretariat to post all supporting documentation (written contributions received, background information used through your research, draft outcome document) on the IGF website so it can be used as a resource center in the future. A Best Practices section was created here: http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/best-practice-forums If you have any questions, please reach out to your Lead Experts (Susan Chalmers and Stuart Hamilton).

I attach my last summary of the discussion on this list. John is hard at work on the draft outcome document and shall provide us with an update soon. I was unable to join the last call, most unfortunately, but thanks to Stuart's notes I reckon we have arrived at what the focus of the session at the IGF should be. *In terms of subject talk, an interesting point was raised by Michael regarding ?needed? or ?potential? policies as opposed to existing ones - perhaps we have lost a little bit of momentum at this point in the conversation as a result of there not being that many policies out there for enabling the creation of local content. It was suggested that maybe the BPF session in Istanbul could move through a discussion of what does exist into a concluding section on what really should exist, based on what we do know.* I propose that we go just a bit further and focus on "what really should exist" right off of the bat, in lieu of saving it for the end. This should maximize the value of the session. Michael K's observation on policies that directly, as opposed to indirectly, enable local content development is very valuable here in my estimation. (Please consult the attached). In advance of the session - and I hope that you all can attend in person or remotely - I'd like to invite people to mock up their own policy ideas for *directly* enabling local content development of local content, building upon all we've discussed in the past few weeks. Please note that the session will take place on September 2nd in Room 1 from 11h00 to 12h30, Istanbul time. Many thanks to all and we shall follow up shortly on the draft document, as well as further details for the session.

I am honored to participate in the local content best practice forum in MCIT Egypt and to share with you our recommendations to enhance the creation and dissemination of local content. Actually, we have two types of recommendations: 1. Recommendations for the preservation of cultural and linguistic diversity: * Supporting multilingual education and promoting the use of mother tongue are essential in multicultural societies * Establishing virtual Knowledge Networks across continents to share information and data and knowledge, taking into account cultural and linguistic diversity * Supporting and strengthening global collaborative projects, and the need for community participation to be empowered through simple tools 2. Recommendations for the governmental policies required to enhance the creation and dissemination of local content: * Lowering the cost of digital technology, along with the reduction of Internet access costs * Safeguarding linguistic diversity, particularly endangered and lesser-used languages by exploring all technological solutions and innovative platforms * Formulating policies and strategies for the development of digital content at the sectorial, national and regional levels. * Encouraging investments to support entrepreneurs, start-ups and SMEs operating in the digital content industry * Governments should work on making public sector information widely accessible in digital format so it can be easily used, re-used, combined and shared. I hope it will be a useful contribution which can enrich the discussion in our session at the 2nd of Sept, 2014 Thanks & best regards, Raymond M.

Regulation and mitigation of unwanted communications (e.g. "spam") 3. Establishing and supporting Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) for Internet security 4. Creating an enabling environment for the development of local content 5. Best practices for online child protection You can also explore resources for each issue (lead experts, background documentation, etc.), available on the IGF Best Practices homepage: http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/best-practice-forums We encourage you to take an active part in this opportunity to shape concrete outcomes of IGF 2014! About the process: Over the past weeks, communities gathering experts from government, business, Civil Society, and the academic and technical communities, have been working through open mailing lists and online virtual meetings on IGF Best Practices. The discussion was documented by independent experts that will feed into five 90 minute Forums in Istanbul and that will in turn report into a Best Practices Main Session. A summary booklet on each Best Practices theme is the intended outcome. The drafts are open for comments until 5 September and will be published after the IGF 2014 meeting.
