The association aims at maintaining, developing and promoting the use of information exchange networks, in accordance with the principle of network neutrality and defense of fundamental human rights, notably the rights to freedom of speech, access to information and respect for privacy by supporting and empowering both individuals and communities.
The FDN Federation is a federation of Non-Profit Internet Service Providers sharing common values: volunteer-based, solidarity-driven, democratic and non-profit working; defense and promotion of Net neutrality.
Neutrinet is a associative I.S.P. based in Belgium. This mean that we are a group of people that wants to handle our access to the Internet.
We are non-profit, voluntary based, auto-organised and we defend net neutrality, privacy and freedom of expression.
Neutrinet is structured in a series of different hubs each one being focused on different part of our activities. The idea is to makes what is happening in Neutrinet more obvious rather than creating rigid entities.
For now, we have 4 hubs but some additional ones might be added in the future (like one for communication).
Each hub have a coordinator, someone responsible for communication between the hub and everything else, introducing new volunteers and making sure that everything is moving smoothly.
The coordinator isn't especially an expert on the subject.
If you want to give a hand or get involve into a hub, simply contact its coordinator. You don't have to be 100% sure about what you want to do, the coordinator is here to help and guide you even if you don't know what you can do.
If you are not sure about what you can do or simply what were are doing every hub has a link to its own page with more informations (details activities, todo list, who is involve).
You can also ask on the mailing list, on contact@neutrinet.be, talk with a coordinator of a hub or come at a meeting.
This hub is responsible for everything regarding administrative work, both reactive (accounting, ASBL/VZW stuff, banks, ...) and proactive (member listing, financial planing, ...) and the software development of our backoffice.
