[Bp_localcontent] common effective practices, and unitended consequences

Fri Aug 8 01:55:19 EDT 2014

Hi all,

Although there are many different experiences related to content development
in m country (Colombia), these are few, considering the necessary actions
that are still needed not only for the development of content but in terms
of the definition of policies and agreements for its articulation. 

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.

Hi Everyone

Many thanks for filling out the Doodle poll for the next call. I can see
that the best option is Tuesday 12th August at 5pm UTC (
<http://doodle.com/ihvm839sqp3tfph8> http://doodle.com/ihvm839sqp3tfph8).
Please mark this date in your diaries and Susan and I shall liaise with the
call organisers and come back to you with more details about call-in etc.

Looking forward to our continued discussions, and happy to see some new
people on board/about to come on board. It would be great if you could share
any thoughts on what has been working well in your experience for the
production of local content, as well as any unintended consequences of
policy interventions - as per subjects 4 and 5 on our list.

Kind regards,

Stuart

Hi everyone

I'm back from two weeks' holiday and am ready to talk local content once
more. 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. 

Kind regards,

Stuart

Hi everyone

We should schedule another call to discuss the next round of contributions.
Please fill out the Doodle poll here as soon as you can - I have based the
times around what seemed feasible for us last time.
