Call for Workshop proposals for Internet Governance Forum (IGF)
by Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond April 30, 2018

April 30, 2018

https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2018-call-for-workshop… IGF 2018 Call for Workshop Proposals *All stakeholders* are invited to submit proposals to hold workshops at the *13th Annual Meeting of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/lexicon/8#IGF>)* to take place in November/December 2018. An announcement is expected imminently on the exact dates and venue of the meeting. *The deadline for **workshop submissions* <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2018-workshop-proposal…>* is 27 May 2018, 23:59 UTC.* *A Thematic Approach to the IGF Programme* Based on inputs from the IGF 2017 stocktaking process as well as the first 2018 IGF Open Consultations, and in line with outcomes of the earlier CSTD Working Group on IGF Improvements and the IGF Retreat organized by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA), this year, many MAG <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/lexicon/8#MAG> members expressed their preference for having *more concrete, focused and cohesive discussions during the IGF annual meeting*, trying to avoid sessions that duplicate content and concepts, and reducing the number of parallel sessions. It was decided that taking *a more thematic approach* to the programme would be most likely to deliver the requested results. A *bottom-up, community-wide* *Call for Issues* <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/index.php?q=filedepot_download/6037…> was held between 26 March and 13 April, during which stakeholders were asked to indicate their areas of interest (‘themes’) and suggest the issues (‘subthemes’) to feature in this year’s programme, including new or emerging ones. The *themes and proposed subthemes* for the meeting have therefore been preliminarily determined through the *more than 300 submissions* <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/index.php?q=filedepot_download/6119…> received through this process. *IGF 2018 Workshops* The *IGF 2018 Call for Workshops* incorporates the results of the Call for Issues by inviting proposers to submit under the following *8 themes* <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/index.php?q=filedepot_download/6119…>: *Cybersecurity, Trust & Privacy; Digital Inclusion & Accessibility; Emerging Technologies; Evolution of Internet Governance; Human Rights, Gender & Youth; Development, Innovation & Economic Issues; Media & Content; and Technical & Operational Topics.* In addition, proposers are invited to select from *more than* *50* <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/index.php?q=filedepot_download/6132…> <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/index.php?q=filedepot_download/613…>*subthemes* <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/index.php?q=filedepot_download/6132…> classified under the themes. These cover a broad range of Internet governance interests and include topics as varied as/ Access & Connectivity/, /Cyberdiplomacy/,/ Encryption/,/ Internet & the Environment/,/ Local Content/, and /Virtual Reality/, among many others. Proposers may also* write in a subtheme of their choosing.* *Workshop Evaluations* The four major *criteria in the evaluation process* <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2018-workshop-review-a…> will centre around *Relevance, Content, Diversity, and Format* <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2018-workshop-session-…> of each proposal. Proposers are strongly advised to pay particular attention *to ensuring gender, regional and stakeholder diversity* within their organizing teams, as well as among their listed speakers, as these will be reviewed against diversity criteria <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2018-workshop-review-a…>, which is a key measure. Proposers are further advised that they should have a minimum of three speakers listed and to *limit their number of speakers to five* wherever possible, in particular when selecting a panel format, so as to ensure space in their session for participant engagement. While this is not a disqualifying criteria, excessive numbers of speakers will result in lower support for the proposal. Please note that *individual speakers will be limited to three sessions* after the selection process. *All proposers should consult the detailed documents below before making a submission.* Resource documents include an/ abbreviated manual for proposers/, a /step-by-step overview of the screening and evaluation process by the Secretariat and MAG, /as well as /explanations on workshop formats and how they may impact evaluation criteria/. *IMPORTANT IGF 2018 WORKSHOP RESOURCES:* *> IGF 2018 Workshop Submission Form <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2018-workshop-proposal…>* *> **Short Manual for Proposers* <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/index.php?q=filedepot_download/6132…> *>* *IGF 2018 Workshop Review Process and Criteria* <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2018-workshop-review-a…> *>* *Workshop Session Formats, Durations & Associated Criteria* <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2018-workshop-session-…> *>* *IGF 2018 Workshop Report Template* <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/index.php?q=filedepot_download/6132…> *>* *Statistics on Selected IGF 2017 Proposals* <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/index.php?q=filedepot_download/4931…> (reference document on last year's proposals) *>* *Statistics on All IGF 2017 Proposals Received* <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/index.php?q=filedepot_download/4415…> (reference document on last year's proposals) *The final selection of workshops will take place during the IGF 2018 Second Open Consultations and MAG Meeting, scheduled on 11-13 July 2018 in Geneva, Switzerland.*

There are two positions up for renewal in EURALO: - ALAC voting Delegates to the NomCom (ICANN Nominating Committee) This role was previously held by Sandra Hoferichter, but she is not eligible for re-appointment, having served two 1 year terms. Voting delegates to the NomCom may not serve more than two consecutive terms. Criteria for NomCom Delegates The NomCom is responsible for selecting members of the ICANN Board, ALAC, ccNSO and GNSO. This is a very important function and all candidates should meet important criteria. * Familiarity with the ICANN groups to which the NomCom appoints (Board, ALAC, GNSO, ccNSO). * Ability to judge people (such as when interviewing and hiring). * Comfortable and preferably fluent with English (listening, reading, speaking). * Good on-line skills such as on Google & Social media * Time Commitment - Must be willing to devote substantial time under tight deadlines (March-June). Will involve travel to up to 4 meetings. * Ability work in a group environment, standing up for what you believe in a discussion with other "strong" people, but at the same time, must be a good listener and be willing to change your mind if someone else has a good argument. Diplomacy is important. RALOs may recommend one or more candidates to the ALAC. The appointment if NomCom delegates is done by the ALAC and RALO recommendations are not binding. In our Regional Selections of ALAC members, Bastiaan Goslin has completed his two year term. We have no term limit in EURALO, so he is eligible for re-appointment, but he needs to be nominated for this. Of course, the position is open, so anyone could be nominated for this position. The EURALO Chair and Secretary position are not up for selection this year.

Dear colleagues, as you know, the General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR, is a big topic at ICANN, if only because the WHOIS databases of domain name registrant contains personal information of European Citizens. ICANN has a Web page about Data Protection/Privacy Issues that is on https://www.icann.org/dataprotectionprivacy At EURALO, we have conducted several webinars to address different angles of GDPR. - 2018-01-24 At-Large Capacity Building Webinar: "Data Protection: What do you need to know as End-Users about GDPR” https://community.icann.org/x/wgW8B This Webinar included presentations from Chuck Gomes and Thomas Rickert to explain GDPR and how it relates to end users - 2018-02-19 EURALO Webinar on General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) https://community.icann.org/x/nhS8B This Webinar had Thomas Rickert, Pierre Bonis, Michele Neylon and Athina Fragkouli explain to us how their organisation worked towards GDPR *implementation*. This was hugely popular. *Our next Webinar is going to turn the tables around: how is your organisation addressing GDPR? What is it doing? Where did it learn about GDPR? Tell us and share your experience!* And also as an individual - many of us are members of other membership organisations - how are they addressing concerns brought forward by GDPR? Can you volunteer to share your experience? Volunteers will be given approximately 5 minutes to present their experience. The time of the call will be decided based on the availability of all the people that will have volunteered, but is expected within the next month.
