[Governance] IGF 2023 - CS Event gathering

Wed May 24 15:30:43 EDT 2023

Dear all,

Circling back on this topic, I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that
I have just submitted a request for a day zero event for IGC and partner
orgs with the following approach:

Title of the Session or Event: *Scoping Civil Society engagement in Digital
Cooperation*

Description of the Session or Event:

*The United Nations (UN) Global Digital Compact (GDC) is one of the most
relevant current discussions regarding the digital space and human rights
online, and for the potential it has for possibly revolutionising the
Internet Governance ecosystem. Despite the relevant participation
possibilities facilitated in this process with the Deep Dives and
Consultations, the recent publication of the UN SG policy brief highlights
that there's still the need to further discuss relevant aspects such as:
Strengthening the Human rights and international law aspects, reinforcing
the relevance of the internet governance Forum as well as avoiding the risk
of duplication of existing forums and fragmentation. *

*Based on the GDC process most recent developments such as the thematic
Deep dives and the UN SG Policy Brief, this session aims to gather input
from Civil Society members in order to better scope our stakeholder
engagement. During this opportunity, we also plan to discuss what are the
better paths of engagement in moments such as the beginning of negotiations
at the Ministerial meeting that will be initiated after the Issues Paper,
as well as the Summit of the Future. *

*In order to enable a fair and open discussion around scoping civil society
organisation and participation in future phases of the GDC process, the
session moderator will frame the discussion with brief introductory
remarks, after that, the proposed session will be divided into three parts
of speakers interventions followed by a Q&A in order to allow audience to
bring their views and inputs. Another important factor to encourage
interaction was the selected session format - gathering. Although this
session has pre-defined panellists, we want to ensure every single attendee
that wishes to contribute can join the conversation and bring their
inputs.  *
*****

I will keep everyone updated about updates on this submission and fingers
crossed we get it.

Best,
Bruna
