Please join them by signing and sharing! ______________ What happens during the announced meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in a few days, at the G-20 summit in Germany, could determine the fate of the Earth. The" Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists" continues to warn the world that *the hands of the risk-estimate "Doomsday Clock" have moved even closer to catastrophic midnight*. The dangers of global nuclear holocaust are increasing -- and a major factor is the rise of tensions between the United States and Russia. So, profoundly, this is not about Trump or Putin. *This is about whether relations between the two nuclear-weapons superpowers will continue to spin out, worsening the risks of military confrontation.* This is about whether the young people we love -- and so many others around the world -- will have a future. And whether subsequent generations will even exist. *If you want to express support for seeking détente instead of boosting U.S.-Russian tensions, please click here to sign a petition with a vital message for Trump and Putin.* [ https://act.rootsaction.org/p/dia/action4/common/public/?action_KEY=12985 ] " "To: President Vladimir Putin and President Donald Trump" We vehemently urge you to take a constructive approach to your planned meeting at the G-20 summit. Whatever our differences, we must reduce rather than increase the risks of nuclear war. The future of humanity is at stake."

This is your field of experience. In the text from Kanumuri we find the references to free access to a free telecommunication, in form of an internet, for all people in all region on our planet. We find his reference to unfold the local capacity to create this technical medium. This text, based on his forms, you will declare as SPAM. Maybe, the form of the texts from Kanumuri is difficult to read and understand. Yes, also for me. But never, we can say, this is SPAM. His thematical elements are always important for us. His perspectives are very valuable. You can formulate a big nonsense in smart form. And you can formulate a high valuable proposal in a terrible form. The method of a pleasing word combination is not sufficient for a good content. You live in India. Parminder also. Maybe, you know Kanumuri. You can help him to find a better way for its mode of formulation, without destroying the content. I write this in this lists, because you attack Kanumuri in this lists.

Indian IT act was misused by corrupt police and divided politicians etc where in court has given order and also recommended Indian government and other stake holders to remove IT act and also caste based Acts where if another caste blamed case can be filed. So many open knowledge people are fighting for this to remove form over all Indian penal code system. Most of case's Internet was shut down to stop terror attacks and hate posting's etc where in people fight with fake news for political millage and this is happening all over world. In some case we came to know anti nationalist paying money ( as promoting ad's , digital marketing) to be active on social media and there are so many fake accounts who are getting operated by anti nationalists. For each stone thrown on security personal in J and k Rs 200 paid and for each solider , police dead huge money is given or even trained to rob banks , ATM;s and divided looted money as 40 percent to looter and 60 percent for anti nationalists. some net work is selling drugs etc and other counter fit notes . Globally elections effected with fake news through social media effecting societies.some countries even gone through fake revolutions, fake wars, fake riots etc For this purpose only Internet is getting shut down which is acceptable all over the world. There is no good and bad terrorism / riots. No two minds think alone and our own brains act different if brains are brain washed. Yesterday night 7 manasarovar Pilgrims where killed in terrorist attacks and armed / police also came under fire. For this Law and order , national security can act to shut down internet, even mobile towers as mobile phones are used for bombing , and also pass messages and also using dark nets, social media to make anti national's come out to make terrorists / criminals escape. schools are getting burned to make children un - educated and make their brains divided like one set supporting no internet shut down , make fake / hate news in place and other set looking for people life safer and infrastructure safer. If this wrong ,all people on policy list can vote, write or wrong to shut down / block internet. which is better than mass surveillance for years. even youth are giving counseling and even after re-rehabilitation people are acting different way. the last mile goes to money freely and use that for biz etc I don't further waste my time on this issue to wash other brains to change their views and people who waste time on social media to sell AD words , likes followers or sell fake products / solutions services,and people who support criminal act's cheating acts to earn money / power through virus minds. .

In the last time i distributed 2 emails not directly connected to the question of Internet and Internet Governance. 1) RootsAction: Like it or not (and we don't), they could destroy the world 2) The United Nations Prohibits Nuclear Weapons I have done it for information. The background is very clear for all. If we don't live, we don't need to discuss Internet. All our activities for an open and free connected world is impossible. This means, that this questions of nuclear war is a questions of our basic existence. But we have here the same like in the space of telecommunication in form of the Internet. If we, the people, don't start to create, what we need, we have no chance to get it. Other do it with a very different intuition and motivation. You understand very good with your experience from India the situation, that the most part of the world people have no stable existence. They have to fight for their survival. And we know, this is not necessary. It is the result of a specific form of structures and organising. I distribute this 2 emails in many lists for Community Networks, Free Software Foundation and free technology. And in all this lists with specific themes i received the answer: Off-Topic. Maybe, this is true for many people. For me not. But i have to accept it. Maybe, also in the global lists from IGF and ISOC many people think the same. But we know from the discussion in the ISOC list, that with our activities for an open internet for all people on our planet we connect directly to the questions, how the people in the different regions can participate on the way for an open telecommunication. For that we act in this space to cooperate. It is not so much a question of Governance. It is much more a question of self-organising. And this we find in all areas of our life. And clear, we find it in the question of nuclear war. The most terrible form of destruction, what we have seen until today. many greetings, willi Asuncion, Paraguay -------------- next part -------------- To unsubscribe from this list, click here: http://lists.igcaucus.org/sympa/auto_signoff/governance/tapani.tarvainen%40effi.org From LB at lucabelli.net Tue Jul 11 16:19:31 2017 From: LB at lucabelli.net (LB at lucabelli.net) Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2017 13:19:31 -0700 Subject: [governance] Deadline Extension - CfP on Platform Regulation(s) Message-ID: <20170711131931.2700328f4bbfc197480209526f2a1375.e4c97aa582.mailapi@email07.europe.godaddy.com> Dear all, Please note that the deadline has been postponed until 23 July.

Background: With the increasing centrality of online platforms in the production and dissemination of content, growing expectations are being placed on the role of large platform operators to provide “safe" online spaces for user engagement. This trend is visible in the legislative proposals that have emerged in various countries enlisting social media companies to prevent hate speech, incitement to violence or hatred, and “dangerous terrorist recruitment material”. Over the last year, the trend towards platform regulation has manifested itself most vividly in the context of the identification and prevention of “fake news”, raising the issue of what role do online platforms play and what impact they may have on the public sphere. This offers a perfect example of a recurring problem with platform regulation: an important part of the content that is supposed to be prohibited escapes clear legal definition. It comprises a variety of different phenomena, and therefore arguably requires a combination of a wide range of measures. While some proposals have called for special legislation to restore trust and create a level playing field, major platforms such as Google and Facebook have been quicker in addressing those concerns, including structural responses and tools for users to limit their exposure to such misinformation. A different but very similar problem has arisen regarding “brand safety”, i.e. the concerns of advertisers in relation to the association of their ads with certain types of content deemed to be “inappropriate”. In March 2017, following a letter by the Guardian and many brands pulling their ads from YouTube, Google announced to have heard concerns “loud and clear” and raised its bar for "hateful, offensive and derogatory content” which will be excluded from the association with Google ads. Important questions remain regarding the transparency, proportionality and effectiveness of the measures these companies have taken, and their impact on small and independent news providers and for content creators, some of whom (particularly those with content characterized as “sensitive”) have seen their ad revenues dramatically reduced from the day of Google's adoption of this revised policy. Against this backdrop, the need for a multistakeholder discussion on the role and responsibilities played by online platforms in our society becomes urgent. The IGF Dynamic Coalition on Platform Responsibility (DCPR) seeks to trigger discussion around the impact of platforms on users' rights, fostering the identification of case studies and elaboration of concrete policy proposals. Call: The first DCPR annual report aims at promoting analysis on the role and responsibilities of online platforms, to foster discussion at the 12th United Nations Internet Governance Forum. Suggested topics include analyses of, inter alia: · Human rights impact-assessment of platform terms of service and practices · Taxonomies and categorizations of platforms · Economics of online platforms · Algorithmic regulation and accountability · Procedural safeguards for user rights in automated decision-making · The role of platforms in personalisation of content and political micro-targeting · Fiduciary duties and positive obligations of online platforms · Fairness, trust and transparency mechanisms for online platforms · Misinformation, false news and propaganda in social media · Ethical standards and model contracts for platform operators · Harmonising platform responsibilities across intermediary liability regimes · Competition and economic regulation in platform markets · Data ownership in platform markets · Tools to prevent online harassment and bullying · Virtual assistants, virtual reality and future platforms for user engagement · Suggested principles on which regulation can be built · Critical approach to existing and proposed regulatory frameworks Submission Guidelines: Research papers, including analytical and theoretical papers, position papers, or case studies will be considered for inclusion in the report, even if they have been previously published. The length of the submissions should be between 2500 and 5000 words. To facilitate the reviewing process, papers should not include author names or other information that would help identify the authors. All submission shall be in English or Spanish language. Citation should be in APA 6 style, authors shall use footnotes rather than endnotes and submission should be in Microsoft Word or OpenDocument Text format. Submissions are due on 15 July 2017. They should include the following elements: · Title · Short abstract (250 words) · First draft of the submitted paper · Author's name, afï¬�liation and short bibliographical note (in the body of the email) Submissions should be sent to luca.belli at fgv.br and N.Zingales at sussex.ac.uk Authors will be notiï¬�ed within approximately 7 days from the deadline as to the status of their contributions. All submitted papers will be subject to peer review. PLEASE note that every author submitting a paper will be asked to peer review another submission, which will be judged according to the novelty of the contribution, the theoretical soundness and the quality of presentation. Authors will be given the opportunity to improve their contributions based on peer comments. Selected papers will be published into the Report of the DCPR, which will be published in open access, under Creative Commons licenses. Authors will also be invited (at their own expenses) to present their work at the annual DC3 meeting to be held at the United Nations Internet Governance Forum, from 18 to 21 December 2017, in Geneva, Switzerland. ------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luca Belli, PhD Senior Researcher, Center for Technology & Society, FGV Rio de Janeiro Chercheur Associé, Centre de Droit Public Comparé, Université Paris 2 Head of Internet Governance @ FGV internet-governance.fgv.br @1lucabelli ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, click here: http://lists.igcaucus.org/sympa/auto_signoff/governance/lb%40lucabelli.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

And North Korea is the only state with nuclear weapons that sign this declaration. The same for me in the balance is with Russia and China. A big difference we see with USA and Israel. They think about to use her nuclear weapons for a first-attack. But here i speak more about, that we, the people of this terrible world, don't have any interest for military violence against people in other regions. We here have the interst for a world in peace and free cooperation. Therefore, i say, we can act together with all other people against nuclear weapons on this planet. My personal proposals goes more behind. We have two task on this planet: 1) dissolve all military and paramilitary structures and her infrastructures 2) reforestate all dry regions on our planet. For this we need our cooperation. And for this we need our free telecommunication. I hope, in the form of an InterNet. Therefore, all initiatives on this way, every activity, have a high value. many greetings, willi Asuncion, Paraguay -------------- next part -------------- To unsubscribe from this list, click here: http://lists.igcaucus.org/sympa/auto_signoff/governance/tapani.tarvainen%40effi.org From joly at punkcast.com Wed Jul 12 06:30:58 2017 From: joly at punkcast.com (Joly MacFie) Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2017 06:30:58 -0400 Subject: [governance] ISOC-NY and the Day of Action Message-ID: As you will hopefully be aware, today July 12 is a designated '*Internet-wide Day of Action* ' with the main purpose of creating sufficient ruckus to make the FCC think twice about rescinding its *Open Internet Order * I write, personally, rather than institutionally, to clarify hopefully the Internet Society's position on this ​,​ which is somewhat nuanced. ​Firstly​, we welcome the day of action, and indeed any activity that raises the awareness of the network and its governance. Secondly, we thoroughly endorse the principles and spirit of openness that drive it. ​That said, there are certain aspects of the Net Neutrality concept and effort ​that give us pause, the main one being the idea that central authorities should tell people how to run their networks. The historical reason the Internet grew, while its peers vanished, was just this lack of control, husbanded by an ad hoc system of organization, exemplified by the IETF, of multistakeholder collaboration. This came to be called, in fact, 'the Internet model'. Globally as, increasingly, authoritarian impulses drive attempts to control, or shatter the integrity of, the Internet abound, ISOC's role to advocate against such efforts is clear. Oe of the main ways we do this, and I recommend a viewing of* Kathy Brown's keynote * at the Mobile World Congress in Shanghai a couple of weeks back, is to encourage continuing local-driven growth at the edges i.e. community networks. In that speech, Kathy strongly urges cell carriers to support, and open their networks to, traffic from such communities, arguing that the resulting network effects will benefit everyone. This, I would suggest, is where the struggle lies today, in building sustainable modes of bottom up access to the network, rather than campaigning against yet-to-be manifested horrors of monopolistic manipulation. Fast lanes and slow lanes are beside the point. The rallying cry should be "OPEN THE PIPES!" joly -- Joly MacFie President - Internet Society New York Chapter (ISOC-NY) http://isoc-ny.org 218 565 9365 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Best, -Michael ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Wolfgang Obenland Date: Mon, Jul 10, 2017 at 11:56 AM Subject: Civil society groups reclaim policies for the public To: Sustainable Development Announcement List Civil society groups reclaim policies for the public Global report assesses how privatization and corporate capture have become obstacles to progress under the 2030 Agenda * New York, 10 July 2017:* A global coalition of civil society organizations and trade unions presents today the report Spotlight on Sustainable Development 2017. It is published on the opening day of the High Level Political Forum at the United Nations in New York. The report provides the most comprehensive independent assessment of the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). *For more, see www.2030spotlight.org * The editing team of the Spotlight Report states: *“In the 2030 Agenda governments committed to a revitalized Global Partnership between States and declared that public finance has to play a vital role in achieving the SDGs. But in recent decades, the combination of neoliberal ideology, corporate lobbying, regressive fiscal policies, tax avoidance and tax evasion has led to a massive weakening of the public sector and its ability to provide essential goods and services. * *“The same corporatized strategies and fiscal and regulatory policies that led to this weakening have enabled an unprecedented accumulation of individual wealth and increasing market concentration. * *"The proponents of privatization and public-private partnerships (PPPs) use these trends to present the private sector as the most efficient way to provide the necessary means for implementing the SDGs. But many studies and experiences by affected communities have shown that privatization and PPPs involve disproportionate risks and costs for people and the public purse. PPPs can even exacerbate inequalities, decrease equitable access to essential services and jeopardize the fulfilment of human rights. * *“Therefore, it is high time to counter these trends, reclaim public policy space and take bold measures to strengthen public finance, regulate or reject PPPs and weaken the grip of corporate power on people’s lives. In short, to put ‘people over profit’. These are indispensable prerequisites to achieve the SDGs and to turn the vision of the transformation of our world, as proclaimed in the title of the 2030 Agenda, into reality.”* The 160-page report is supported by a broad range of civil society organizations and trade unions, and based on experiences and reports by national and regional groups and coalitions from all parts of the world. Its 35 articles and textboxes cover all sectors of the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs, and reflect the rich geographic and cultural diversity of their authors. The Spotlight Report is published by the Arab NGO Network for Development (ANND), the Center for Economic and Social Rights (CESR), Development Alternatives with Women for a New Era (DAWN), Global Policy Forum (GPF), Public Services International (PSI), Social Watch, Society for International Development (SID), and Third World Network (TWN), supported by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation. ------------------------------ Spotlight on Sustainable Development 2017 Reclaiming policies for the public.

Over the last decade, Google has funded research papers that appear to support the technology company’s business interests and defend against regulatory challenges such as antitrust and anti-piracy, the US-based Campaign for Accountability (CfA) said in a report . “Google uses its immense wealth and power to attempt to influence policymakers at every level,” said Daniel Stevens, CfA executive director. ................ Academics were directly funded by Google in more than half of the cases and in the rest of the cases funded indirectly by groups or institutions supported by Google, the CfA said. Authors, who were paid between $5,000 and $400,000 (£3,900-£310,000) by Google, did not disclose the source of their funding in 66% of all cases, and in 26% of those cases directly funded by Google, according to the report. ........... “Whenever Google’s bad behaviour is exposed, it invariably points the finger at someone else,” said Stevens. “Instead of deflecting blame, Google should address its record of academic astroturfing, which puts it in the same league as big oil and big tobacco .” https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/jul/13/google-millions-academic-research-influence-opinion As we know Google has recently been fined $ 2.7 billion for anti-competitive practices by the EU regulator, which only means that in all countries that are too weak to take on google (or benefit from its profits, meaning the US) Google remains in violation of competition (and many other) laws..... All this Google funded research and advocacy, of dont regulate the Internet (read, Internet companies), are playing a dangerous game, seriously compromising public interest. It is time we declare the honeymoon of civil society and academic love for digital global corporations over. They are today like big oil companies -- no doubt the latter provide what is still the main energy resource that keeps our societies ticking but in the bargain they very often, and systemically, indulge in stuff that needs academics and NGOs to be watching against. It is pretty difficult to undertake such watching while taking considerable money from them. It is a simple truism, but the digital sector tends to ignore it. parminder -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It is the true definition of a totalitarian state when the state declares among its objective to "build an harmonious society", "carry froward traditional virtues" and "strengthen social sincerity" -- whatever all these terms mean (the ambiguity often being the whole idea)..... The Economist carried this article on "China invents the digital totalitarian state " a few months back which gives a good view of what is happening. parminder On Thursday 13 July 2017 04:29 PM, Brandt Dainow wrote: > > +1 to Vint. > > > > Let’s add some further aims: > > 1) Make everyone acts honestly all the time. > > 2) Ensure everyone gets treated fairly all the time. > > 3) Ensure all humans act in accordance with their society’s > highest ideals. > > > > This may look like it has nothing to do with the internet, but that’s > not the case.

Many of the sessions touched upon points of relevance to the Internet Governance community, such as cybersecurity, online privacy and data localisation. The Geneva Internet Platform provided a just-in-time reporting from many of the sessions. You will find information about it below. During the e-commerce week, the GIP, ITC, CUTS, UNCTAD and Diplo launched a course on Digital Commerce, which aims, among other things, to enable an exchange of information about the interplay between trade and digital policies, in preparation for the WTO ministerial at the end of the year.

And if you have no idea what I am talking about then the problem is that you do not know what global civil society is about, although you happily chose to come in and provide overbearing comments on the elist of a global civil society group. > *_ > _*I am not necessarily defending Google, I would need significantly > more evidence of their intent than > a speculative article written by someone who may very well have their > own "agenda" > > I have little respect for people who spend much of their energies > criticizing innovative & creative > entities who turn their creative efforts into success. And I, in turn, have absolutely no respect for business people who think that they can shout down civil society's central watchdog role on elists that are basically for civil society discussion. That is some real hubris. > > Those who use their energies & efforts criticizing & chastising > should spend less time moaning & complaining & more of this time > working towards effecting > positive change Yes, sure, it is the big corporates that are working for positive change and not public interest groups!!

I agree that broad-brush tarrings-and-featherings are not productive. My point is that when astroturfing masquerades as science, it undermines data-driven policymaking, which is, I think, the most important thing that will make government serve people better, in the long term. -Bill -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

That’s quite true, and in a broader sense, when politics and power games – which a lot of people across stakeholder groups indulge in – takes precedence over policy, research and data driven policymaking is the ultimate loser. I don’t care if the bias introduced is corporate, right wing, leftist, progressive, regressive or whatever else – it is a bias and vitiates the goals of that policy. Being what one considers “of the right ideology” doesn’t give anyone a free pass to do exactly what they condemn others when they do. --srs -------------- next part -------------- To unsubscribe from this list, click here: http://lists.igcaucus.org/sympa/auto_signoff/governance/tapani.tarvainen%40effi.org From suresh at hserus.net Thu Jul 13 14:20:02 2017 From: suresh at hserus.net (Suresh Ramasubramanian) Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2017 23:50:02 +0530 Subject: [governance] Accountability group puts Google in same league as big oil and big tobacco In-Reply-To: References: <86F7C4AD-FB9F-4175-B748-2407650D7064@hserus.net> <1B1511CD-C7F1-4A1F-8013-6B665BEEE244@pch.net> Message-ID: That said - a very interesting essay on stereotypes https://aeon.co/essays/truth-lies-and-stereotypes-when-scientists-ignore-evidence --srs > On 13-Jul-2017, at 10:19 PM, Suresh Ramasubramanian wrote: > > I don’t care if the bias introduced is corporate, right wing, leftist, progressive, regressive or whatever else – it is a bias and vitiates the goals of that policy.

Take a look. A great resource for many of us in dealing with policy processes. Cheers, Ginger *Interactive Online course* *Negotiation Skills* Non-traditional areas of diplomacy (education diplomacy, health diplomacy, Internet governance, humanitarian diplomacy, development diplomacy, and more) require the use of diplomatic skills to build bridges across sectors, diverse actors, and borders. Negotiation Skills is a practical, interactive course that equips participants to successfully prepare, undertake, and conclude negotiations in a variety of formal and informal settings with government and non-government actors alike. The course introduces the concept and principles of negotiation and reflects on the role of power and empathy in negotiation. It introduces key skills supported by case studies and practical learning activities, including an online simulation exercise. The course is offered by DiploFoundation and the Center for Education Diplomacy (an initiative of the Association for Childhood Education International ). This new online course starts on *18 September 2017*. The application deadline is *21 August 2017*. *Who should apply?* The course is aimed at participants from government and non-government sectors engaged or interested in various fields of diplomacy, such as education diplomacy, health diplomacy, Internet governance, humanitarian diplomacy, and development diplomacy. Applications from relevant government ministries, the business sector, and civil society will be welcome. The following groups may find the course particularly relevant: • Officials from relevant ministries • Staff of international organisations and NGOs, civil society, and the private sector working on or interested in relevant issues including education, Internet governance, health, humanitarian issues, etc. • Graduate students interested in international affairs, international development, education, human rights, and other relevant issues • Educators interested in learning about international issues in education and the workings of diplomacy as it relates to education Like us on FaceBook Follow us on Twitter Our website Our network ------------------------------ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Not once, during all this time, anyone cared to ask what our thoughts are or what we think the best for our region is. Well, we would like to ask all parties to stop talking about us as if we can't speak for ourselves. It must not be forgotten that the Amazon region involves the population of nine South American nation-states. For us, this is a time of challenges over the Amazon such as illegal mining, deforestation, water pollution among others. Any policy decision about the region or its name (in any language) is a matter of great interest for all of us, and we cannot be left aside. Let's start with the view of .amazon being a brand as well as a region and a river. We were never asked, again, when the name was used in the first place. The consequences of this can be seen now, when we are mistaken as a faceless, plain, uncharacteristic area in a world map without content or people, an exoticly empty part of the world to be conquered and debated abstractly by trademark lobbyists, private companies and governments. We have faces, names, content, history. Using our name to tell another story, a company's history, would de-characterize us? Likely not. We will not disappear. Instead the Amazon is a vibrant region, which bets on sustainable development and becomes increasingly more involved with internet governance, alongside with Northeast Brazil, which hosted IGF2015. However, using our name without acknowledging our importance is certainly a mistake. Using our name refers directly to a vast land of rich diversity, with much to uncover and with many cultural gems already discovered. So if using our name, at least acknowledge us, respect us. Give back to the "lung of the Earth," to a river which hosts hundreds of communities by its riverbanks. Invest on us. We want the same you do, more education, a thriving internet market and respect to sustainable development for a better future. It is also important to note that ICANN's Independent Review Panel comes at a moment when the discussion about the use of geographical names is very controversial, as it was seen in meetings in Johannesburg. And it is surprising, given there is no consensus yet about this theme in the community. Governments of nine nations also speak our name. With such ownership and familiarity that you could sometimes forget that we do not belong only to one of them. The Wikipedia, which also does not belong to only one company or government, can enlighten that: "This region includes territory belonging to nine nations. The majority of the forest is contained within Brazil, with 60% of the rainforest, followed by Peru with 13%, Colombia with 10%, and with minor amounts in Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana. States or departments in four nations contain "Amazonas" in their names. The Amazon represents over half of the planet's remaining rainforests, and comprises the largest and most biodiverse tract of tropical rainforest in the world, with an estimated 390 billion individual trees divided into 16,000 species." This means that even if you agree with nine governments on whatever decision they take on the Amazon, you could still be in disagreement to half of the planet, and their thoughts on the importance of our region. Governments representational crisis is real and does not belong to one country or another. Governments should listen to their citizens. Yet, none of our major political powers are located in the Amazon and have not spoken to us about any aspect of the recent process. This becomes much more complicated when the Amazon is referred to as an area of indigenous population. Our indigenous population was not asked when colonized, the majority did not elect the government of the nine nation-states which comprise the Amazon. Likely, the majority of our indigenous population suffers from abandonment, land conflicts, health crisis and lack of an education system. More importantly, our indigenous population wants, just as companies or governments, an internet market which provides jobs and enables development. Indigenous population may not speak only Portuguese or Spanish but they can speak too. So why does everyone insists on talking about us without listening to us? The rainforest is disappearing fast. This process is not going to slow down unless there is responsibility from all stakeholders in a dialogue about our region and how to respect it. When referring to the new gTLDs or any issue of public policy, public and private sector need to address us, we are all part of a cross border region and an strategic navigation channel and this dialogue has to take this unique situation in account. It must not be forgotten that, after all, the multistakeholder model that we all support to have a free and open Internet, involves multiple parties. This is not only an issue of the private sector and governments, the population is a key participant, that in this particular matter was never consulted. So please, consult us. Don't take our name without talking to us. Stop talking about us as if we can't speak.

I thought the information below may be useful to the youth on the group. Or you can forward it to your networks. ============================================ Dear All, The Internet Society is now opening applications for the *2017 Youth at IGF programme*! *I encourage you to share this information with others who are also passionate about seeing more youth engaged in the future Internet.* Information and links to apply can be found here: In English: https://www.internetsociety.org/youth-igf-programme In Spanish: https://www.internetsociety.org/es/programa-para-la-juventudigf In French: https://www.internetsociety.org/fr/programme-jeunesseigf Additional details, including program design and background, are below. Please note that the call for applications for Phase 1 will close on 15 August 2017. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact leaders at isoc.org. Thank you in advance for your collaboration. Best regards, *Alejandra Prieto* Implementation Lead Internet Leadership, Global Engagement +41 22 809 03 75 <+41%2022%20809%2003%2075> Internet Society ====================== *Additional Information* *2017 Youth at IGF programme* This time, the Youth at IGF programme supports a crucial leadership development opportunity for young adults aged 18-25 from all around the world, with an emphasis on youth from Europe, Africa, Asia-Pacific and the Middle-East. The programme will include: - 4-week *Online Training* on topics including, Internet Governance; Actors and Stakeholder Groups; Infrastructure, Standards and Protocols; and Policy Principles. Participants will be grouped into classes, each with a dedicated expert moderator to facilitate the learning process. Classes will be delivered in English, French and Spanish. - *Travel Fellowships* for the best participants of the online course to the Internet Governance Forum 2017 in Geneva, Switzerland, 18-21 December . - *Webinar Discussion Series* led by global Internet Governance experts to deepen the youths’ knowledge and to prepare them for the IGF event. - *Onsite Collaborative Leadership Exchange* in partnership with Internet Society Ambassadors to IGF, Youth Fellows from other programs, and IGF attendees more generally. *Background* Early in 2015, the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee (CGI.br ) identified as a desired outcome of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) an increase in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) youth participation in the Internet governance processes and the meeting specifically. Both CGI.br and Internet Society have extensive experience in providing capacity building on Internet governance through online courses and fellowships to previous IGFs. Therefore, the two organizations combined efforts to create the LAC Youth at IGF program to empower the next generation of leaders and increase the participation of young voices (age 18-25) from LAC in the debates about Internet Governance. Since then, and together with our partners – NIC.MX, the Government of Mexico, Microsoft and Verizon – we have brought more than 130 youth from all around the world to IGF 2015 and 2016 under the Youth at IGF programme, as part of our commitment to ensure the next generation of Internet leaders are primed to advance an Internet of opportunity for all. As a result of these efforts, many of these young people are now contributing to the Youth SIG and to regional meetings, such as the African Internet Summit, EuroDIG, and others.

I cannot remember how many of the IGC members were there but a good number of civil society folks were. This meeting was considered as a place for CS groups to consider their challenges and get ready for a common voice during the IGF. Did we reach this objective, among others that were casted? We have started discussing a possibility of having another CS day ahead of the IGF in Geneva and wanted to know what's the feeling here, whether we (IGC) should be part of this initiative this year again. Please do feel free to share any thoughts, concerns, directions that will help me to better represent the IGC in those discussions. What issues do you think CS folks should discuss? How should we get ready for the upcoming IGF? Note that we will need to define an agenda, call for speakers/participants, etc. I look forward to hearing from you.

I think, in my humble opinion, that we should first look at the platform. We need to assess our strengths and weaknesses; Explore the ins and outs of the actions we have undertaken or are undertaking. My main theme is "Caucus review of Internet governance". It will be possible to organize sessions around this central theme. It will be a very good opportunity because it will take place at the IGF 2017 in Geneva just at the end of the year. *SCHOMBE BAUDOUIN* *SECRETAIRE EXECUTIF FGI-IGF RDC* *COORDINATION NATIONALE CAFECICANN/AFRALO Member* *ISOC Member* Téléphone mobile:+243998983491/+243813684512 email : b.schombe at gmail.com skype : b.schombe blog : http://akimambo.unblog.fr 2017-07-26 8:08 GMT+01:00 Arsène Tungali : > Dear colleagues, > > As some of you will recall, there was a joint civil society meeting that > was done ahead of the IGF in Mexico where groups such as the APC, Just Net > Coalition, NCSG, Best Bits and the IGC met to discuss some civil society > questions and a way to get ready for the main IGF that started later on in > Mexico. > > I cannot remember how many of the IGC members were there but a good number > of civil society folks were.

Message-ID: We're already preparing for the IGF2017... I found this to be a good way to get the big picture for my topic planning, and you might find it interesting as well: Jovan Kurbalija (Diplo) has just published the mid-year review of digital policy trends, revisiting the predictions made in the beginning of the year, and predicting what we can expect until the end of the year. https://www.diplomacy.edu/blog/ten-major-trends-internet-governance-2017-mid -year-review This might be a good place to reflect on how the trends affect our own country/region, or on the relevance of trends in IG policy that we should keep on our radar as we plan?
