 Community networking, together with the Bottom-up-Broadband initiative, is an emerging model for the Future Internet across Europe and beyond where communities of citizens build, operate and own open IP-based networks, a key infrastructure for individual and collective digital participation. Although community based networks often extend or complement the coverage of networks of commercial ISPs, they differ in several key aspects: There is usually no central authority that is responsible for a precise network planning. Support is decentralized and open, provided by the community. The network nodes are often inexpensive off the shelf equipment and the network elements exhibit a high degree of heterogeneity in the hardware, software, and capacity. The network infrastructure belongs to the user and is shared to build the network. The network is very dynamic: the number of nodes may rapidly grow and change as new members join the network, or when nodes overload or fail. These community networks are usually built with low cost point-to-point wireless links, MANET networks, and an increasing presence of optical fibre links.
 
-Work Package 7, \emph{Bottom-up-Broadband for Europe}, of Commons4Europe project aims to support the creation of a pan European organization that could provide structure and support to the existing Bottom-up-Broadband initiatives in Europe from either public organizations or emergent from citizen activism. The present document is the first report on the achievements of task T7.3, \emph{Building Support for BuB4Europe}, task  aimed at enlisting support for the nascent organization of T7.2 and creating a favorable opinion towards it among policymakers that could facilitate its integration in the existing forums.

-%Due to the fact that tasks T7.2, \emph{Enlisting BuB organizations}, and T7.3, \emph{Building Support for BuB4Europe}, are strongly related to each other and that they involve relative small amount of man power (2 and 4 respectively for the first WP year and 2 and 5 for the second -the last), the lead beneficiary of them (guifi.net) has decided to merge their reports, D7.2.1, \emph{Report on activities to enlist BuB organizations - a} and D7.3.1, \emph{Report on Building Support for BuB4Europe - b }, into single present document. This decision has been approved by the project leader (ESADE) and is totally aligned with the recommendation of optimising the paperwork efforts made during the first review process.
+%In some situations the strong relationship between T7.2, \emph{Enlisting BuB organizations}, and T7.3, \emph{Building Support for BuB4Europe}, makes difficult to clearly assign an action to one task or to the other. The same happens with their deliverables, D7.2.1, \emph{Report on activities to enlist BuB organizations - a} and D7.3.1, \emph{Report on Building Support for BuB4Europe - b }. As a consequence, it is recommended to read both deliverables to have a complete view of the job done.

-The dissemination efforts have been focused on the one hand on creating a website aimed at gathering all information of the BuB part of the Commons for Europe project and a mailing list to coordinate the discussions and on the other hand in finding and attending the most important BuB related meetings. It is expected to keep the same strategy for the next year.
+T7.3 is aimed at enlisting support for the nascent organization of T7.2 and creating a favourable opinion towards it among policymakers that could facilitate its integration in the existing forums. Thus, it has a high dependency on T7.2, specially on the existence of the foreseen organisation, which is expected during the first half of the next reporting period. As a result, most of the efforts of T7.3 are planned for the coming period. The following subsections describe the actions have been carried out during the first reporting.
 
-\subsection{bubforeurope website and bub mailing list}
+\subsection{State level}
+Interacting with the local governments, from city councils to the Catalan and the Spanish government is part of the standard activities of the guifi.net Foundation. Aside of those contacts that are merely formal administrative and legal proceedings (comunications, notifications, etc.), the rest are aimed at creating awareness of the BuB model and at exploring forms of partnership. In most of these meetings the BuBforEurope initiative has been presented to a greater or lesser degree. A non-exhaustive list of public administrations we presented the initiative follows:

The identification the appropriate forums for creating a favourable opinion towards BuBforEurope among policymakers is planed for the first half of the next year, in parallel to the organisation creation.

+Work Package 7 of Commons for Europe project aims to support the creation of a pan European organization that could provide structure and support to the existing Bottom-up-Broadband initiatives in Europe from either public organizations or emergent from citizen activism. The present report accounts on the results of task T7.3, \emph{Building Support for BuB4Europe}, achieved during the its first year (second year of the project). 
+
+T7.3 has a strong dependency on the outcome of T7.2, foreseen by the first half of the next year. As a consequence, the activity in T7.3 during this period has been limited at (informally) presenting the initiative to some local administrations and attending some international meeting.
+
+Since T7.2 is being developed according to schedule and suffice resources have been allocated to T7.3 it is expected that this task  as well as WP7 objectives will be fully accomplished by the end of the Commons for Europe.
