Dear all,
We, the members of the High-Level Executive Committee of NetMundial+10,
would like to share some relevant information about the upcoming event.
High-Level Executive Committee
As announced by CGI.br, the High-Level Executive Committee (HLEC)
<https://netmundial.br/HLEC>will oversee the organization of the event,
shaping details such as the program, modes of participation, and
expected outcomes. The Civil Society Group of the HLEC is composed of
the following names: (a) Anita Gurumurthy (IT4Change), (b) Bia Barbosa
(RSF); (c) Bruna Santos (Digital Action); (d) Grace Githaiga (KictaNet);
(e) Jason Pielemeier (GNI). Valéria Betancourt (APC) is our stakeholder
group representative in the Co-Chairs group of the HLEC.
The HLEC group was also sub-divided into 3 working groups on (a)
Consultation, (b) program and (c) Participation. So far, our approach to
the discussions have all aimed at ensuring linkages with other
processes; consideration of structural inequality and exclusion matters
as well as barriers for MS engagement in the framing of the consultation
and agenda; an open, inclusive and transparent NM+10 process.
Dates and Participation
As announced at the website <https://netmundial.br/>, the event is set
to take place in São Paulo, at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, on the 29th and
30th of April 2024. A form for the submission of statements of interest
for participation (online and onsite) will be launched in the coming
days. Through the assessment of pre-defined diversity criteria CGI.br
will define the final list of participants.
Format of the event
The event is being conceived in a similar format to the initial edition
<https://netmundial.br/2014/pt/>: 2 days of discussions, with an opening
session on the morning of the 29th and a closing ceremony at the end of
April 30th. Participation onsite will be limited to up to 100 people per
stakeholder group, but the HLEC has also confirmed CGI.br initial
intention to host the event as a hybrid one with equal footing of
participation for online and onsite participants.
Subject and outcomes
As previously announced by CGI.br, the event will follow the already
announced framework of talking about current challenges for
multistakeholderism and digital governance - and in the opinion of our
SG group the values of equity, justice, and people's participation we
hold dear as civil society.
NetMundial+10 Secretariat and the HLEC are already working on a draft
consultation document about two points: (a) Principles (drawing on the
landmark 2014 document
<https://document.netmundial.br/1-internet-governance-principles/>); and
(b) a common structured agenda named "a new agenda for the future
evolution of the digital world".
What's next?
*
Form for collection of statements of interest for participation -
Early March
*
Consultation document with a set of principles and request for
topics that could integrate the "new agenda for the future evolution
of the digital world" - Mid/late March
Kind regards,
--
