[bestbits] RightsCon session "Engaging with Cybersecurity Policies, Laws, and Strategies Globally: The road to GCCS 2017"

[Daniela Schnidrig]

Dear all,

For those of you attending RightsCon, I'm delighted to invite you to our
session *"Engaging with Cybersecurity Policies, Laws, and Strategies
Globally: The road to GCCS 2017"*.

The workshop will take place on *Thursday 30th March, from 9:00am to
10:15am in the room "Serenity", on the second floor*.

A key forum where cybersecurity policy will be discussed is coming up: the
Global Conference on Cyberspace, due to take place in 2017 (GCCS2017). It’s
vital that human rights defenders are equipped with the skills and
knowledge to engage in this important forum and work towards creating
policies that see human rights and security as mutually reinforcing.

This workshop aims to provide a springboard for civil society actors to get
a head-start by gaining strategic guidance from the hosts of GCCS2015, the
government of the Netherlands, and an update on GCCS 2017 from the hosts,
the Government of India. In addition, the workshop will focus on
identifying shared priorities and opportunities for civil society
engagement.

Confirmed speakers are Carmen Gonsalves (Dutch Ministry of Foreign
Affairs); Dr. Dhawal Gupta (Indian Ministry of Electronics & Information
Technology); and Lea Kaspar (Global Partners Digital).

We hope to see you there! And please feel free to share with anyone who
might be interested.

Best,

--
