Dear all, Carolina Aguerre will not be present during today's Council call, however, she has sent following written update on the MAG meeting outcomes: ==
I¹ll be traveling at the time of the ccNSO call today, but I wanted nevertheless to send an update on the MAG meeting that ended yesterday in Paris. The important issues for the group are the following: - NETmundial¹s takeaways and improvements for the IGF will be captured in a main session and an open MAG meeting at the IGF (this last is still tbd), as well as a session to be lead by the NETmundial organizers on day 0.
- There was great convergence of topics addressed by workshop proponents and NETmundial¹s interests (how to implement multistakeholder modes of governance; Net Neutrality; privacy and surveillance).
- There will be a main session on Sept. 5 on the IANA stewardship transition which will cover both IANA and ICANN¹s accountability. I¹m working on the session¹s paper with other colleagues, most of them from the technical community from the MAG.
- 2 workshops are directly concerned with ccTLDs: the joint RO ccTLD submission on ccTLDs and their role in IG literacy and the submission by the Oxford Internet Institute and Maria Farrell on ccTLDs and cybersecurity. There are many other sessions addressing direct ccTLD concerns (IDN, IANA, etc) as well, as soon as the list is cleared on the IGF website I¹ll be sending the link with the selection to the group.
I¹m happy to expand any of these issues or any other aspects related with the meeting.
Kind regards, Gabi
