Fellow .nyc Supporter, We're sponsoring two events in May, one online the other a Face-to-Face.
RFI Collaboration Wiki - As preparation for the acquisition of the .nyc TLD, New York City’s Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications (DoITT) has issued a Request for Information (RFI). We applaud this outreach effort and are requesting that Connecting.nyc’s community members help assemble a comprehensive body of information to assist the city with this important policy development effort. To augment our RFI response, we've created an RFI Wiki where our community can collaborate to assemble traditional and innovative ideas for the city’s consideration. We are particularly interested in ideas on how networking tools can help connect New York City’s civic, social, and business communities. And within that scope, how the TLD might facilitate security and privacy for our city's residents and organizations. We expect the submission to provide the city with a better understanding of the multitude of ways the .nyc TLD can help create a more prosperous and livable city. Our response to the Request for Information is due May 27. See the RFI Wiki blog post for more. Neighborhood Media Centers - A Face to Face meeting on the development of neighborhood media centers is the second event - e.g., astoria.nyc, brooklyn-heights.nyc, clinton.nyc, greenwich-village.nyc, etc With the arrival of the .nyc TLD, we'll soon have the capacity to create local media centers identified by domain names such as astoria.nyc, brooklyn-heights.nyc, clinton.nyc, greenwich-village.nyc, etc. Come hear about this opportunity that promises to strengthen the city's 300+ neighborhoods. Join us in imagining ways these sites can help neighbors locate and talk to one another about local problems and opportunities for their resolution. Contribute to a discussion on who will operate these local media centers, the sites' content requirements, civic collaboration tools, and appropriate oversight and accountability. For more, see our Traditional Neighborhood Names wiki page. When, Where: The Neighborhood Preservation Center, 232 East 11th Street, NY 10003. Wednesday, May 6, 6-8 PM. We've seating for 20. RSVP to t...@connectingnyc.org. Both events are sponsored by Connecting.nyc Inc., the NYS not-for-profit created to guide .nyc's acquisition and development. Sincerely, Tom Lowenhaupt --------------------------------------------------------- Thomas Lowenhaupt, Founder and Chair Connecting.nyc Inc. t...@connectingnyc.org Jackson Hts., NYC 11372 718 639 4222 Web - Wiki - Blog
