In response to the lack of government action on internet issues, a number of public interest organizations have begun sponsoring town hall meetings to faciliate discussions on the future of the Internet in Canada. In 2009, meetings were held in Toronto, Vancouver, Ottawa and Halifax.

Various others are currently in the planning stage.These include Montreal, Quebec City, and the Muskokas -- home riding for Tony Clement, Industry Minister. A summary of these meetings will be prepared for the Pacific Community Networking Association annual Summit in March 2010.

Participating groups include Openmedia.ca, Saveournet.ca, Telecommunities Canada, Internetforeveryone.ca and some of their respective member organizations. Reports will be posted here and submitted to the Industry Minister.
