Dear All,
On behalf of the ALAC & GAC Leadership, we are pleased to announce the first of our Regulatory Developments Briefing Series on WSIS+20 Discussion, scheduled on Monday, 13 January 2025, at 16:00 UTC.
Our first briefing will serve as an unique opportunity for both the GAC and ALAC to exchange views and align positions regarding the ongoing developments in global Internet governance, particularly focusing on the outcomes and recommendations from the WSIS+20 process. The meeting will present an opportunity for stakeholders from both constituencies to engage in meaningful dialogue about the future path of Internet governance, aligning with key principles such as accessibility, security, and inclusivity. The aim is to develop shared strategies for action within the community and ensure that regulatory approaches are forward-looking, effective, and inclusive.
