Message-ID: Dear IGC, Hope this email finds you well despite the strange circumstances we find ourselves at during this pandemics. I am writing to you in order to consult whether we would like to submit a session for the Global IGF . The Secretariat facilitated a webinar this week, giving the community a few updates on the preparations for this year's event and confirming that they are continuing to plan for the event alongside with the Host Country. Additionally, IGF secretariat also mentioned that they plan to keep the community updated about any new events and the possible chance of a cancelation. In light of that, I would like to consult the list how do we stand on a session submission. Sheetal and I have been considering that it would be important, and part of our collective work in restructuring IGC, to have a session at this year's event. On that note, we have a few options - 1) continue with our day one event; 2) submit a session proposal collectively constructed by the Caucus and 3) submit both a Day zero and a session proposal. *The deadline for Workshops, Open Forums, Day Zero events and Call for travel support is the 22nd of April*, so this gives us a few days to come up with a submission. As a possible subject, since this was one of the groups in which the debate around dot org was also active, I would suggest for us to submit something related to what we consider a public interest Internet - but this can also be discussed as we are open for any suggestions you can come up with. Having said that, Id like to hear back from the list if we consider it to be feasible to submit a workshop proposal and the possible topics for that. Best regards, *Bruna Santos * ICG Co-Coordinator ----- *Calls to submit session proposals for Workshops | Open Forums | Day 0 Pre-Events | IGF Village Booths | DC Sessions | NRIs Sessions | open until 15 April 22 April 2020, 23:59 UTC.* *IGF 2020 Call for Travel Support open until 15 22 April * . -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Pierce / Dave Farber) *[TL;DR: Please help circulate a new guide for organizers of virtual conferences.]* Dear colleagues, The Association for Computing Machinery recently chartered a Presidential Task Force to gather and disseminate guidance on best practices for virtual conferences, aimed at the many conference organizers moving their events online right now. The task force report, *Virtual Conferences: A Guide to Best Practices , *is now available on the ACM web site It offers a comprehensive survey of issues, organizational strategies, and technology platforms for successful virtual meetings. We hope that you (and your colleagues) will find this report useful. If you do, we would love to hear about it! And naturally if you have any suggestions for improvement, we would love to hear those too. (The PDF document linked above includes a pointer to a live Google Doc where you can leave suggestions and comments if you like.) If you have recently organized a virtual conference or are organizing one now, we would especially like to include your experiences (how you organized it, how it went, what people thought, a summary of any post-conference survey results, your advice for future conferences, etc.) and add it (or better yet a pointer to it) to the appendix that we’ve provided for such experience reports. Finally, can you please help us make sure this guide reaches the people that need it by forwarding this announcement within your networks (especially, of course, to current conference organizers)? Many thanks!

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Thank you, Bruna. I am in favor of holding the day one event, as usual, and also in submitting a session. Public interest internet is a good catchall. It could feature discussion of a few different topics: the proposed .ORG sale will still be a relevant issue in November, whether it's gone through or not; the acceleration of public dependence on internet infrastructure as more activities move online; the deterioration of offline channels like traditional, national postal systems and broadcast infrastructure; and of course the dominance of private platforms, with implications for economic, social, cultural, and civil and political rights and interests. Let me know how to help you and Sheetal, and thanks again for coordinating.

On Wednesday, the California Attorney General sent this well-researched letter to ICANN: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/becerra-to-botterman-marby-15apr20-en.pdf I recommend reading the letter in its entirety, as it raises a number of very valid questions about ICANN's governance processes, the Internet Society, and the proposed sale: "ISOC purports to support the Internet, yet its actions, from the secretive nature of the transaction, to actively seeking to transfer the .ORG registry to an unknown entity, are contrary to its mission and potentially disruptive to the same system it claims to champion and support. Assuming, arguendo, that Ethos Capital possesses ideas to improve PIR’s financial health, it is unclear what prevents PIR and ISOC from engaging in improvements now. No response has yet been provided supporting the proposition that as nonprofit corporations, PIR is currently restricted from engaging in new practices that would both improve their financial health while furthering their charitable mission. There has been too little information provided about the sale process by which the proposed transfer sale was agreed to by ISOC. If ISOC was concerned about diversifying its revenue streams, what did ISOC do, if anything, before deciding to sell the .ORG registry agreement? Why did ISOC not conduct a competitive bid process for a new registry operator if it wanted a change in the registry operator? Did ISOC explore options other than a sale to a private equity firm, given that its nonprofit status was key to PIR becoming the .ORG registrar? What consultation, if any, did ISOC conduct with its stakeholders prior to proceeding with the proposed sale?" In response to this letter, The Register reports[1] that ICANN has delayed making its decision on whether or not to 'sign off' on the change of control of the registry agreements.

I'm afraid I was late picking up the feed because of problems accessing Microsoft Teams, WSIS's platform of choice. They had implemented Teams' integrated AI captions, which were less than satisfactory, They were awkward to turn on, and only appeared as brief one line snippets. After a short time you'll see me switch to webcaptioner (google translate) and 3 lines. I also noticed Teams was very slow to switch camera when speaker changes. I have a suspicion WSIS will be switching to zoom. At least they are trying! Although I didn't test it but it did appear that the Microsoft AI offered auto-translation. This is something I am often asked about, and could be a big +1 for teams.

The UN’s work on development is carried out by a broad range of agencies, funds and programmes and contingent on local contexts and regional and global economic and political dynamics. In 2019, the UN started implementing a reform to reposition the United Nations development system. The reform aims at a system that is more integrated, more focused on delivery on the ground, with clearer internal and external accountability for contributions to national needs, and with capacities, skillsets, and resources better aligned to the 2030 Agenda. A year into the reform, high-level experts share the experiences with the independent and empowered Resident Coordinator system at the country level, the redesigned UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework and the collaboration at the global and regional levels at the UN Sustainable Development Group. The discussion will unveil how the UN’s development system can work to support countries to achieve the 2030 Agenda but also highlights challenges to achieve this goal. The panel features: Mourad Wahba, Assistant Administrator and Regional Director for Arab States, UNDP Giovanie Biha, Deputy Director, United Nations Development Coordination Office Irena Vojáčková-Sollorano, Regional Director, UN DCO for Europe and Central Asia and UN Resident Coordinator in Turkey Jeffrey Sachs, University Professor and Director of the Center for Sustainable Development, Columbia University Moderated by Daniel Naujoks, Director a.i. for International Organization & UN Studies, Columbia University -- -------------------------------------- Joly MacFie +2185659365 -------------------------------------- - -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
