[Bp_localcontent] Let's keep the conversation going! Almost done...

[Susan Chalmers]

Greetings everyone,

I'm writing because our conversation has petered out a bit on what (I think
are) the most important questions. Thus far, we have discussed the
definition of "local content", we have shared stories about the states of
Internet infrastructure, regulation and human capacities in our various
countries, and we have identified policy measures that exist in our
countries which relate to local content development.

Now comes the fun part!

   - What are the successes of the existing policies? Do some countries
   have the same success stories? Let's identify them if possible.
   - What turned out to be the unintended consequences of these policies?
   Again, do some countries share the same experiences?
   - How can multistakeholder cooperation address the shortcomings in
   existing policies?

Please recall that we'd like to keep responses organised within the
tripartite structure:

Area 1 - technical infrastructure
Area 2 - legislation and government policy (including preservation policy)
Area 3 - human capacity and capability

Thanks again everyone and it would be great if we could keep this
conversation going over the next few days, so that Mr. Laprise, who is in
charge of producing the final document, has a rich source of material for
the final product.

Warm regards,
Susan
