Please share your insights with young people from the global-good
project Imagining the Internet<http://www.elon.edu/e-web/imagining/default.xhtml> at IGF 2015 in João Pessoa, Brazil
You are invited to visit Nov. 9-13 at the conference venue with a team of Elon University students who are asking IGF participants to share their hopes for the future of the Internet in brief video interviews.
Imagining the Internet is a Webby Award-winning, non-profit, civil society project. We ask people to share their views in order to inform policy development, to expose issues, potential impacts and challenges and to tell the story of the Internet's evolution.
You will be asked these questions:
First: Who are you? (Your name, work title/affiliation, the country in which you live, and your IGF stakeholder group.)
1) Hope? What is your greatest hope for the future of the Global Internet Governance Forum - what should it ideally accomplish for the world?
2) The Top Internet Issues? What are the most important issues that must be addressed in order to assure the best future for the Internet and all people?
(What are the most-heard buzzwords/controversial subjects that should be considered?)
3) Biggest Threat to Freedom and Trust Online? Internet experts say one of the biggest threats to the Internet is the ways in which businesses and governments seek to control people's online interactions. What do you see as the greatest threat to achieving the most positive future for the global Internet?
4) Connecting the last billion? In previous years, the IGF discussion has been about connecting the "next billion" people. What specific steps are being taken today to connect the last billion - those who are most difficult to reach and serve?
5) Internet in a nutshell - Using just a few words - in just five seconds or less - VERY briefly describe the future of the Internet.
The interviews will be posted during the event at http://www.imaginingtheinternet.org and at
