Dear Colleagues,

Please find the EURALO Regional Report pasted below. I’m sharing it in advance, as I’m traveling today and will be joining the meeting late.

Warm regards,

EURALO Regional Report – July 22, 2025 - Prepared by Pari Esfandiari

Over the past two months, Europe has experienced a high level of Internet governance activity, with strong engagement from EURALO and its members across key regional and global events.

• EuroDIG 2025 (Strasbourg, May):
  Regional stakeholders addressed pressing issues. Olivier Crépin-Leblond and I co-hosted a flash session titled "From Principles to Practice: Core Internet Values in the Age of AI."
• RIPE 90 (Lisbon, May):
  This meeting offered opportunities for cross-community outreach and closer collaboration between RIPE NCC and the At-Large community. Work is currently underway to revise our existing MoU and co-organize joint webinars to strengthen engagement.
• ICANN83 (Prague, June):
  EURALO held its Annual General Meeting and the NextGen program. EURALO also hosted a well-attended Readout session to reflect on key developments.
• IGF 2025 (Lillestrøm, June):
  EURALO had strong visibility and presence:
• I participated in the GigaNet high-level debate “Should WSIS End?”
• Represented the Dynamic Coalition on Core Internet Values (DC-CIV) and other DCs during the Main Session.
• Moderated panel on “Bridging Internet & AI Governance”, with speakers including Vint Cerf.
• WSIS+20 High-Level Event (Geneva, July):
  The formal WSIS+20 review process was launched. EURALO members contributed to discussions.
• Policy and Legislative Developments:

The European Parliament continues to shape major digital legislation with significant implications for DNS policy, Internet governance, and end-user rights.

• Looking Ahead:
  ICANN84 will be held in Dublin in October, providing an opportunity to elevate European priorities and voices in global policy discussions.
  EURALO is finalizing its FY26 Outreach Strategy, strengthening cooperation with RIPE NCC, and actively preparing for WSIS+20 and ICANN84 to ensure the continued visibility of regional perspectives in global forums.
• We will be holding a EURALO Board meeting immediately following this session, where additional issues and strategic actions will be discussed.
