Yes, I had quickly added that part to the proposal after realizing
2008-3 had finally been added to the NRPM and that part didn't go
through the same amount of refinement as the rest of the proposal. I am
thinking about replacing that part with the following text.
----
6.5.8.4 Criteria for initial assignment to Community Networks
Organizations may justify an initial assignment for operating a
Community Network only for the purpose of providing free or low-cost
Internet connectivity to the residents of their local service area.
By documenting the service area they intend to serve and certifying that
the network meets all the requirements of the definition of a Community
Network from section 2.11.
----
Is that better?
Should the current section 6.10 Micro Allocation be integrated into this
section as separate criteria? Micro Allocation have little technical
difference from assignments. Or, should we just leave them as a
separate section.
This one is on a bit of a fast-track to get it ready for the up coming
Toronto meeting.
Thanks
