Public meeting survey
by Maureen Hilyard Oct. 3, 2020

Oct. 3, 2020

Dear At-Large In the next week or so, you will get a survey that will ask for your opinion about ICANN's public meetings both face to face and virtual. The Chairs of the Supporting Organisations (CCNSO, GNSO and ASO) and Advisory Committees (ALAC, SSAC, GAC, RSSAC) are currently being asked for their input into the development of the survey. In At-Large the ALT+ will also have contributed. At the conclusion of the survey collection, on 9 November, the SOAC Chairs will work together on developing a consolidated response from all the communities and a final report that will then go to the Board in January. >From then on, depending on the responses of the different communities, it will be interesting to see just how people view current face-to-face and virtual meetings, and what our future meetings might possibly look like. Please participate when this survey arrives in your mailbox around the 9th or 10th October. We need to have our say about how we can work more effectively as At-Large and as ICANN. Regards Maureen

Fwd: Invitation to IGF survey and workshop on Internet standards deployment
by Bastiaan Goslings Sept. 24, 2020

Sept. 24, 2020

Hi all, I would like to draw your attention, as a fyi, to the below message from Wout de Natris, a friend of mine. Some of you might know him from previous IGF's and sessions he organized and moderated. I have no personal involvement nor stake in the IGF's new Dynamic Coalition and related survey that are referred to, but I think they are definitely worthwhile considering and could benefit from internet end user input and experience, especially from different regions. If you think it is of interest, feel free to share this within your own constituencies. If you have any questions and/or remarks, please reach out to Wout directly via denatrisconsult(a)hotmail.nl . Thanks, and take care Bastiaan ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Wout de Natris <denatrisconsult(a)hotmail.nl> Date: Mon, Sep 21, 2020 at 11:31 AM Subject: Invitation to IGF survey and workshop on Internet standards deployment To: Bastiaan Goslings <b.goslings(a)gmail.com> Dear reader, The deployment of Internet security-related standards and ICT best practices is a topic that continues to be the subject of important discussion worldwide with the aim of achieving a more secure and safer online environment that is necessary to support the rapid adoption of new digital technologies. This has been made even more urgent by the COVID-19 pandemic. I am sure you would agree that it is time to move on from what has been largely an uncoordinated and technical debate spread across various fora, and initiate global stakeholder cooperation that will have a positive impact on economic and social well-being through helping digital technologies to transform everybody’s daily lives. As you may know, the UN Internet Governance Forum is establishing a new Dynamic Coalition on Internet Standards, Security and Safety (DC-ISSS) with the aim of achieving this objective and I am now writing as the leader of this initiative to invite you as a leading expert to join this important multi-stakeholder coalition. The intended outcomes of the DC-ISSS will be recommendations for actions by key policymakers and decision-takers that will enable security-related Internet standards and best practices to be deployed more rapidly and with greater determination and commitment. By involving stakeholders like yourself we believe that we can at last make a difference in making deployment more effective and widespread. It has to stop to be a, primarily, technical debate, to be changed into a digital healthcare topic. As a first step, the coalition needs to prioritise its work and finalise its work plan. A preparatory session for this purpose will be held during the upcoming IGF 2020 on Wednesday 4 November at 09.40 – 11.10 CET. A short questionnaire has been drawn up to help with this process. It would be appreciated very much if in addition to considering the invitation to join the coalition, you could complete this questionnaire which can be accessed at: https://survey.sogosurvey.com/Survey1.aspx?k=SsQYPPXWsRsPsPsP&lang=0. Our deadline for responses in 7 October. It does not take up more of your time than five minutes at a maximum. The formal launch of the DC-ISSS will be held in a separate session on Friday 6 November from 10.10 - 11.40 CET when the establishment of thematic working groups will be announced and the work programme presented. This will be followed by an online discussion with stakeholders. You are cordially invited to this as well of course. Further information about the DC-ISSS can be found on the IGF website at: <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/dynamic-coalition-on-inter…> https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/dynamic-coalition-on-inter… Here is the link to join the DC-ISSS email list in order to receive updates and be informed of progress: https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/dc-jobs-mailing-list Please also bear in mind that in order to participate in the work of the DC-ISSS you need to register for IGF 2020. This can be done by accessing the registration page at: https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2020-registration If you have any questions about the aims of the DC-ISSS, its objectives and the process for planning its work, please do not hesitate to get in touch - and of course I and the support team comprising Mark Carvell and Marten Porte would welcome any thoughts and suggestions you may have for making this important Dynamic Coalition a success in achieving its objectives in creating greater security and safety online for all users worldwide.
