Hi all,

I'm forwarding this invitation without deep knowledge of the "Data Embassies" project but with two purposes: 

1. making it known to the LACRALO community since it is likely that many ALS's (both in the Caribbean and in the Continent) may find it of interest for themselves and their constituencies; 

2. to ask two questions: 

2a. Which organizations DO have already some involvement and what is it? 
2b. In what ways can this initiative connect with the bailiwick of ICANN? 

And of course I would also add the question and offer of whether this creates an opportunity for collaboration across LACRALO subregions.

Cheers everybody and Happy New Year.

Alejandro Pisanty

Dear colleagues,

 

United Nation’s ECLAC is pleased to invite you to the virtual launch of our new publication: DATA EMBASSIES: An innovative approach to strengthening digital resilience in the Caribbean

 

As governments across the Caribbean accelerate digital transformation, ensuring continuity of critical data and public services has become a strategic priority—especially in the face of hurricanes, cyber incidents, and connectivity disruptions. This event will present the report’s key insights and explore how the “data embassy” concept can support stronger digital resilience and trusted regional cooperation.
