> Dear all,
>
> If all goes as planned, I will be at the opening panel on the morning of
> April 16th.  If you have any thoughts you would like me "not to forget",
> please feel free to share.  I have pasted the blurb, including the
> questions below.  Kindly note the following:
>
>    1. Because I only arrive on the 15th, I will be missing the Civil
>    Society pre-event. So apologies upfront.
>    2. I will try, to the measure possible to represent Civil Society
>    views, but I do not and will not pretend to be representing anybody.
>    3. I neither have the energy, time, nor bandwidth to engage in any
>    debates, especially the type that seeks to lead nowhere, that has become
>    the signature of some CS spaces.
>    4. Feel free to mail nnenna at webfoundation directly if that is the best
>    option for you.

> Mark Rutte, Prime Minister of the Netherlands, will open the conference,
> followed by an introduction by Bert Koenders, Minister of Foreign Affairs
> of the Netherlands, host of the GCCS. The conference will start with a
> strategic discussion among representatives of all stakeholders on the most
> important current developments in cyberspace. A panel consisting of
> high-level government officials and private sector and civil society
> leaders will sketch the main opportunities, dilemmas and challenges facing
> the further evolution of the internet. All main issues of the conference
> will be touched upon: internet governance and multistakeholder cooperation,
> freedom and privacy online, the digital divide, the internet as enabler for
> social and economic development, cyber security and cybercrime. The panel
> will address questions such as:
>
>    - How should we balance freedom, security and economic development and
>    innovation in cyberspace?
>    - How do we guarantee an open, free and secure internet?
>    - What are the responsibilities of the various stakeholders in
>    cyberspace, e.g.: what  role should governments vis a vis the private
>    sector play in protecting privacy online?
>    - How can we improve cooperation between governments, private sector
>    and civil society in cyber-related matters?
>    - How can we maintain and improve trust by consumers in the internet?
>    - How can we stimulate research and development, and interdisciplinary
>    academic cooperation in order to strengthen cyberspace?
>
> The panel will be followed by ministerial statements.
