Dear WSIS+20 Outreach Network,

One behalf of ICANN's Noncommercial Stakeholder Group (NCSG), I would like to share this invitation to a webinar "Forging ways forward in the WSIS+20 review process through multistakeholder collaboration", October 16th, 13:00 - 14:30 UTC (90 Mins).

Please register at this link: https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/jTsUIYaVRSOF2OhItC2NnA

The webinar will gather representatives from the technical community and civil society to identify shared priorities, strengthen cross-stakeholder relationships, and will also be a preliminary discussion for an NCSG event at ICANN84 – please see https://icann84.sched.com/event/29QOu/gnso-civil-society-and-icann-on-wsis+20

Speakers from:

• NCSG
• Representatives of the ICANN grant programs supported " Shaping the WSIS+20 Review for a Unified Internet Multistakeholderism (SWUIM)" project https://www.icann.org/en/grant-program/first-cycle-funded-projects#shaping-wsis20-review,
• The Global Digital Rights Coalition https://www.gp-digital.org/global-digital-rights-coalition-for-wsis/
• Technical Community Coalition for Multistakeholderism, TCCM (TBC) https://www.tccm.global/

Over the 90 minutes, NCSG and partners welcome discussion to achieve three key objectives:

• Explore opportunities to leverage existing work from various communities at the upcoming ICANN84 meeting in Dublin
• Identify areas of common interest between civil society and the technical community that can be leveraged for future engagement in the WSIS+20 process
• Build linkages between national-level civil society in the Global Majority and the broader ICANN community, thereby supporting ICANN’s aims of an open, global, and interoperable Internet

Warm regards,

Adam
