Yes, I agree, thanks for sharing. I don’t think I have anything to add but want to say that besides concrete practical use, which is of course the most evident target area, this internet-draft will be useful for teaching/ study purposes.

Hello,


Thank you so much for sharing the draft, i suggest to add a part related to the importance of capacity building programs that can be offered by GAIA about ensuring connectivity with sustainability.

Best,

Objet : [gaia] For discussion: Best Current Practices for Digital Sovereignty and Meaningful Connectivity through Circular Management of User and Network Devices

Dear GAIA colleagues,

We have published a new Internet-Draft proposing Best Current Practices to improve meaningful connectivity and digital sovereignty through circular management of end-user and network devices.

Title:
  Best Current Practices for Digital Sovereignty and Meaningful Connectivity through Circular Management of User and Network Devices

Datatracker:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-gaia-bcp-circular-device-management/

HTML:
https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-gaia-bcp-circular-device-management-00.html

PDF:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/pdf/draft-gaia-bcp-circular-device-management-00

The document is based on operational experience from community-led deployments in Spain, Argentina, and Senegal (eReuse.org, EKOA/UNLP, TAU/RAEE, Solidança, Hahatay), and aims to complement GAIA research by documenting reproducible practices related to device availability, repairability, collective access, and lifecycle governance. Devices include user and network devices, since both are needed to enable meaningful connectivity to the unconnected.

We would welcome feedback on:
- Relevance to GAIA research scope
- Clarity of the BCP framing for an IRTF context
- Missing considerations (technical, architectural, or socio-technical)

Best wishes and thanks for your comments,
Leandro (on behalf of the authors, in cc)
