[NCUC-DISCUSS] Fwd: Giponet.org now live

[William Drake]

Hi

The EC presented this at NCUC’s IGF workshop in Istanbul on Institutionalizing the “Clearing House” Function http://www.ncuc.org/events/other-meetings <http://www.ncuc.org/events/other-meetings>.  A related but different initiative is the The NETmundial Solutions Map https://www.netmundial.org/solutions-map <https://www.netmundial.org/solutions-map>, both intended to reduce information costs and friction in searching for knowledge and relationships and assembling distributed governance groups.  Hopefully can grow to be of use for developing country governments and stakeholders in particular. Might be of interest to some here…
