Nnenna, I think it can’t be overstressed how central trust is. Historically, the internet we have come to love has been built on trusted individuals, institutions, and processes — sometimes informal institutions and processes — and if we can keep the tradition alive going forward, that would be one of the highest things we could achieve.

It also seems to me to be a good basis on which to build trust with regard to empowering individuals through the internet, which I think is a central democratic goal in this century.

So, definitely +1.

Hi Marie, all

I hope I will.  Trust is one that is a principle as well as a road map. And  I am convinced that it is key. And like many colleagues have noted,  all actions that destroy trust destroy the Internet (non acceptance of Net neutrality, unwarranted surveillance, threats of cyberwar etc)

I know it is a challenge to build, as stakeholders enlarge and the stakes get higher...

But build it, we must

All for now

Many thanks Nnema,

Hope you will make clear that point 7 on trust became 1st priority

after  Snowden's revelations on mass surveillance and on how some States managed to keep or introduce back door in equipments and poor cryptographical  tools,
THAT, for the sake of ITC and development,  it is all the more urgent  Governments concerned make clear to the world  that they STOP  mass surveillance and that they STOP using  internet as a new armed battle field while more and more the world depends daily on that infrastructure.

Best regards
Marie

Dear all

I have received some 100+ feedback on the request for issues to be included.   Here are a few remarks from my end:

1. It is not possible to bring all our issues to fore. We have a choice of either rolling out most issues and getting them drowned, or picking out 2-3 key issues and building them up. I'm choosing the later.

2. NetMundial is dealing with two key challenges: Principles and Road Map for the future of Internet Governance. In as much as it might be important to  decry most ongoings, I believe it is far more valuable to step into the future, anticipate and advance leading thoughts.

3. I only have 8 minutes and in reality, the speech needs to be constrained to 7.  So below is a brief outline:

===
Draft minute by minute:

 1.  Intro of Nnenna: Africa,  Best Bits and  Internet Governance Caucus
 2.  Intro of the Web Foundation: Mission, and key activities
 3.  On principles: a) Access  b) social change and justice
 4.  On principles c) Human Rights and Freedoms
 5.  On Roadmap: a) Participation b) resources
 6.  On Roadmap: c) Change (accountability, transparency)
 7.  Overarching issue: Trust and positive agenda
 8.  Thanks

===

All for now

Nnenna
