February 2020 - AFRI-Discuss

Apply for the West African Youth Internet Governance Forum
by h i Feb. 28, 2020

Feb. 28, 2020

Dear Afralo Members, This mail comes to announce the commencement of registration for the West African Youth Internet Governance Forum. The West Africa Youth Internet Governance (WAYIGF) is a sub-regional initiative under the United Nations Internet Governance Forum. It exists first and foremost to provide a platform for youth in West Africa to contribute to discussions on Internet-related issues from where it affects them the most as young people. To enable this, the initiative engages in capacity building activities to offer youth the opportunity to learn, be informed and better equipped to contribute meaningfully to such discussions. While youth are the largest demographic group on the Internet, they are still underrepresented at the Internet Governance Forum. We believe that young people have a high knowledge of the digital world they interact with daily and therefore deserve to play a stronger role in decision making, and policy processes regarding the Internet. This year the WAYIGF will be hosted in Freetown, Sierra Leone. 50+ young people from all over West Africa will gather for the 1-day Summit on July 22, 2020, to discuss key topics on Internet governance and policy, network with experts, and draft the 2020 Youth Messages. These messages are policy recommendations and will be presented at WAIGF, and the Africa Internet Governance Forum. If you are interested in Internet policies, want to contribute to trending topics in media, innovation, cybersecurity, human rights, literacy and more, apply to participate! Eligibility criteria: - between 18-30 years old; - residing in a West Africa Country - participate in preliminary webinars (dates TBA) - Show interest in Internet governance, and motivation to actively participate in WAYIGF. Learn more and register here <http://www.wayigf.org/>

Hi all, In contrast I think, that remote meeting will give the opportunity to a lot of African community to follow the meeting in the same conditions as participants from others regions.

Thank you Pierre, Given the different challenges such as poor internet connectivity that community members face, I think supporting remote hubs where a number of members can collectively participate will be a good idea. Community members should therefore organize strategy locations where remote participations can be centred. Regards, Innocent.

Board Decides ICANN#67 will be "virtual" instead of traveling to Cancun
by h i Feb. 20, 2020

Feb. 20, 2020

https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2020-02-19-en LOS ANGELES – 19 February 2020 – The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) today announced that its ICANN67 Public Meeting, which was to be held in Cancún, Mexico, will now be held via remote participation-only. This decision was made as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, considered a public health emergency of international concern by the World Health Organization <https://www.who.int/>. The meeting, scheduled for 7-12 March 2020, marks the first time in ICANN's history that it will hold a Public Meeting solely with remote participation. Each ICANN Public Meeting attracts thousands of attendees from more than 150 countries. With cases in at least 26 of those countries, there is the potential of bringing the virus to Cancún and into the ICANNmeeting site. If this were to happen, there could be accidental exposure of the virus to attendees, staff, and others who come in contact with an infected individual. COVID-19 continues to be a rapidly evolving global situation, with new cases emerging daily. "This is a decision that the ICANN Board has been considering since the outbreak was first announced and it is one that we haven't taken lightly," said Maarten Botterman, ICANN Board Chair. "We know that changing this meeting to remote participation-only will have an impact on and cause disruption to our community; however, this decision is about people. Protecting the health and safety of the ICANNcommunity is our top priority." The community will have many questions about travel arrangements, scheduling, and other meeting-related issues. ICANN will consult with community leaders and groups to focus the virtual program on the most essential sessions, and will publish a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) page to https://icann.org <https://www.icann.org/> in the coming days.

We appreciate their understanding and we look forward to returning to the LAC region for ICANN70 in 2021.

To learn more about remote participation, visit ICANN Public Meetings <https://meetings.icann.org/en/remote-participation>. ICANN will continue to make further announcements as circumstances warrant. In the meantime, ICANNorg will hold a webinar to provide a short update and take questions. The webinar will be held on Thursday, 20 February at 1800 UTC. ICANN also is reviewing upcoming meetings, such as the GDD Summit in Paris and the ICANN68 Meeting in Malaysia. So far, no decisions have been made and these are proceeding as planned.

Dear colleagues, There was a call with the community leaders today, I missed the call myself but the ALAC Chair has summarised the meeting(do find forwarded). The ICANN Board will be meeting tomorrow to decide about the upcoming ICANN meeting in Cancun This is for your information. Regards Sent from my mobile Kindly excuse brevity and typos ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Maureen Hilyard <maureen.hilyard(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, 18 Feb 2020, 19:12 Subject: [ALAC] Community Leaders call regarding Cancun meeting To: ALAC <alac(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> Good morning, afternoon, evening all The ICANN Board and ICANN Org have just concluded a meeting with Community Leaders about whether or not the Cancun meeting will be held or not. There were 74 participants on the call. This is a brief summary of the call. Recording and transcripts will be made available soon. The meeting included several health experts, who first outlined the global situation and then described the precautions that would be taken at the Cancun. They do not have any concerns about Mexico at the moment and the Mexican govt itself is monitoring the situation. Many of their previously suspected cases have been cleared as not coronavirus. *Health facilities on site* * The ICANN medical centre will be staffed with additional health personnel (doctors and nurses) to address any concerns on site - for example, anyone identifying themselves with a temperature, etc * hand sanitisers will abound, and masks and gloves will also be available * there is a global shortage of masks so if you can bring your own masks from a local supply please do so (preventative measure) * individual temperatures should be taken each day to monitor any changes * anyone identified as potential patient will be immediately removed to a local hospital. Cancun and Mexican medical facilities were reported as good. During the chat I indicated that the majority of At-Large were in favour of proceeding with the meeting. All the other constituencies also indicated support for the continuation of the Cancun meeting, although monitoring of the KL situation was noted by a couple of leaders. Goran did mention that if staff were uneasy about attending the meeting this would have an impact because there was a minimum requirement of staff to run it effectively. At the same time he said that the meetings were for the community and it was important t hear from us as well. The Board will make a decision at a meeting to be held tomorrow at 20:00utc. We will know more then.
