I'm not entirely comfortable with this definition.

First, what if I want to donate my help operating a network in some
other community?  Would that disqualify them?

Second, I think there does have to be some notion of not-for-profit,
or some other way to prevent a community network from competing with
regular ISPs using a more favorable set of rules.

Also, I'd like to see more explanation of why the current rules for
LIRs and end users either don't apply or are unworkable for community
networks.

I do think the idea has some merit, but I can't support this proposal
it in its current form.
