Dear friends,

Diplo is currently accepting applications for the 2012 Internet Governance Capacity Building Programme. As many of you know, the programme provides a solid base from which to discuss many current issues related to Internet governance and ICT policy, such as:

*Who owns the cloud? Is my data secure there? Who manages Internet domains and addresses, and how? What is network neutrality? How can states provide for Internet security without breaching our basic human rights - or can they? Can we have an Internet that is both safe and open?*

The programme is also designed to improve Internet policy and governance-related knowledge and skills for participants from both developed and developing countries, and to enhance their participation in the global decision-shaping debates on Internet governance.

The call for applications, including info about the various phases of the IGCBP, is available here<http://www.diplomacy.edu/blog/call-applications-internet-governance-capacity...>. The deadline is 1 February 2012. Please forward this message to your colleagues/contacts who may benefit from this programme.

Thanks in advance!

Best, Stephanie * * -- Stephanie Borg Psaila Online Communications Co-ordinator DiploFoundation www.diplomacy.edu
