FYI -- some news about NetMundial. Does ICANN have any plans in relation to this event? Kindest regards, Olivier -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [Governance] NetMundial+10: Updates Date: Mon, 4 Mar 2024 10:15:40 +0100 From: Bruna Martins dos Santos via Governance <governance@lists.igcaucus.org> Reply-To: Bruna Martins dos Santos <bruna.mrtns@gmail.com> To: Internet Governance <governance@lists.igcaucus.org>, NCSG List <NCSG-DISCUSS@listserv.syr.edu>, redlatam@lists.accessnow.org 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, -- */Bruna Martins dos Santos /* Global Campaigns Manager | Digital Action <http://digitalaction.co> German Chancellor Fellow 21' (Bundeskanzler-Stipendiatin) | Alexander von Humboldt Foundation <https://www.humboldt-foundation.de/> Member | Coalizão Direitos na Rede <https://direitosnarede.org.br/> Co-Coordinator | Internet Governance Caucus <https://igcaucus.org/> Twitter: @boomartins <https://twitter.com/boomartins> // Skype: bruna.martinsantos Email: bruna.mrtns@gmail.com
