Dear Colleagues,

Issue 11 of the Geneva Digital Watch newsletter is out! Published on 31 May 2016, the newsletter provides the latest digital policy updates which took place in May. The main highlights:

• The editorial highlights the importance of timely and effective implementation of the SDGs, and describes the GIP's initiatives during the recent WSIS Forum 2016.
• The WSIS Forum discussed the interplay between ICTs and SDGs, focusing on development, digital divide, economic growth, health, and more. In addition to session reports and a summary report prepared by the GIP earlier this month, this issue includes further analysis.
• Terrorists have been using the Internet for a wide-range of purposes, including for internal communication and fundraising, and to disseminate and promote their ideologies. The issue looks at the main policy developments and initiatives undertaken in the past few weeks.
• Digital policy and Internet governance parlance includes many abbreviations of names of actors, processes, or frequently used terms. Turn back to the last page for an explanation of some of the abbreviations we used in Issue 11.
• Included in this issue are events which took place in International Geneva in May, and the main global digital policy events in June.
• The Brazilian version of Issue 11, in Portuguese, will be available soon.
