<br>
Sorry for the late report: No Internet access in the meeting rooms.<br>
<br>
We met with some European parliament members from various countries, and
we discussed several issues related to the internet governance such as
the Future of the IGF, IG4D, Data Security, Human Rights, Outreach,
Capacity Building, and multi-stakeholder model. Diplo foundation and
ISOC attended too.<br>
<br>
The IGC representatives insisted on <br>
•Their attachment to the multi-stakeholders model<br>
•the necessity of the European governments and parliamentarians support for the IGF sustainability<br>
•the lack of efforts to make the Internet, and more broadly the ICT serve the development<br>
•the importance of human rights including the freedom of expression in the internet governance<br>
•capacity building as a mean to foster an Internet Governance culture<br>
•the importance of the data security with the growing use of clouds<br>
<br>
The European parliamentarians expressed their support to all those
issues, and introduced a concept of intermediate international standards
accepted by all and easily applicable, to be between the international
general principals such as the human rights declaration and the national
laws. <br>
<br>
Dioplo Foundation emphasized the importance of the Governments’ commitment to support the IGF and its multi-stakeholder model<br>
<br>
The meeting was held in a warm and friendly ambience.<br>
