Hello Imran, <div><br></div><div>These are good suggestions. On your suggested (20), Internet for Kids, one of the ways I've tried to encourage addressing this in the past is encouraging talk of 'Children, young people, and young adults' in place of the term 'youth' which tends to get widely used to cover a blanket group from 0 to 30+. </div>
<div><br></div><div>What would you think about advocating for a reshaping of theme (8) <span style><span style="font:normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman'"> </span></span><span style>INTERNET IMPACT ON YOUTH into something like:</span></div>
<div><span style><br></span></div><div><span style>'IMPACTS OF THE INTERNET ON YOUTH: CHILDREN, YOUNG PEOPLE and YOUNG ADULTS, AND THEIR IMPACT ON THE INTERNET' </span></div><div><span style><br></span></div><div>
<font color="#222222" face="Arial, sans-serif">with sub-questions such as:</font></div><div><font color="#222222" face="Arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font color="#222222" face="Arial, sans-serif">- How are 'youth' affected by Internet Governance decisions?</font></div>
<div><font color="#222222" face="Arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font color="#222222" face="Arial, sans-serif">- How are 'youth' shaping the Internet? How can opportunities for youth to contribute positively to the development of the Internet be encouraged? </font></div>
