+<h2>Community Wireless Networks</h2>
+
+Open community wireless "mesh" networks digitally connect communities, and allow neighbors to share Internet access or use locally hosted applications. 
+
+Community networks are built by a coalition of community anchor institutions, community-based organizations, municipal representatives, and individuals working together to plan, design, and deploy a network.  Ownership and management duties are distributed among the community. Digital Stewards are community members that take care of the network.

+
+<h3>SUGGESTED NETWORK BUILDING STEPS</h3>
+<ol>
+  <li><strong>Identify Community Partners and Define Partnership</strong><br />
+  The essential step is to decide which partners will develop, plan and maintain the network.</li>
+  <li><strong>Determine Pilot Network Area</strong><br />
+  Plan the initial network to connect key locations in the community.</li>
+  <li><strong>Outreach and Planning</strong><br />
+  Surveys, community meetings, and transparent or participatory budgeting can ensure that the network gets local support.  Manage expectations by presenting the project as a collaborative effort, not a free service.</li>
+  <li><strong>Installation</strong><br />
+  OTI has simple guides to installing Commotion software onto routers.</li>
+  <li><strong>Train Digital Stewards to Manage the Network</strong><br />
+  For long-term sustainability, think early on about who will handle maintenance and troubleshooting.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<h3>SUGGESTED PARTNERS TO TALK TO WHEN BUILDING YOUR NETWORK</h3>
+<ul>
+  <li>Public institutions (post offices, museums, schools, universities)</li>
+  <li>Public gathering spaces (parks, coffee shops)</li>
+  <li>Community-based organizations</li>
+  <li>Businesses</li>
+  <li>Municipal governments</li>
+</ul>
+
   <h2>Connect with Others</h2>
 
 <p>Mesh networking begins with people. Work with your community to determine communication needs, interests, and willingness to participate and help. Start with conversations or meetings about how your group could use mesh networking.
