The conversation will be led by members of the ICS community.</p>
<p style="direction:ltr;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:#444;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0 0 1em">The Recommendations were the culmination of six weeks of trainings on the role of policy and advocacy in the current connectivity environment. Participants — which included over 80 individuals from the US and Canada, most of whom are members of Indigenous communities —used the dialogue over these trainings to collaboratively develop a set of recommendations that aim to support Indigenous Communities in providing their own connectivity solutions. On the final day of the <strong><a style="color:#2585b2" href="https://www.internetsociety.org/regions/north-america/" target="_blank">2021 ICS</a></strong>, participants reviewed, contributed to, and ultimately adopted these recommendations as an official output of the summit. The Policy Recommendations build on previous documents in <strong><a style="color:#2585b2" href="https://www.internetsociety.org/resources/doc/2020/2019-ics-policy-recommendations" target="_blank">2019</a></strong> and <strong><a style="color:#2585b2" href="https://www.internetsociety.org/resources/doc/2020/2020-ics-policy-recommendations/" target="_blank">2020</a></strong>.</p>
