>> Dear Bruna,
>>
>> Thank you for keeping us informed about these fast-moving developments. As someone who was heavily involved in the first NETMundial ten years ago, it is great to see the event taking shape. I particularly like the angle that has been selected by the conveners, which does not propose to revisit and revive what has been achieved in 2014, but to critically access the adaptations that should be introduced in governance approaches, in order to keep up with the changes that have taken place in the last ten years. These changes have been highlighted by many individuals in CS and Academia recently. Just to name a few examples that come to mind:
>>
>> - Milton Mueller and the IGP convened an excellent conference to discuss the way in which several aspects of Internet governance discussions are actually taking place in a field that we could call the "digital political economy", which follows a distinct rationale and (this last part is my own opinion) represents a challenge to CS continued meaningful engagement.
>> - Bill Drake has called attention repeatedly to the need to pay attention to how several aspects of Internet governance discussions are being discussed (and decided upon) within trade agreements (which are not multistakeholder, transparent or accountable).
>> - The World Bank,  UNCTAD and WEF, to name a few, pointed out that digital inequality (and unequal distribution of wealth generated by the digital economy) is growing. Considering the importance of the digital economy for overall economic growth, the picture we have today is less rosy than 10 years ago from a development angle.
>> - Laura DeNardis has published an excellent book, the Internet in Everything, in which she explores, among other things, the merge between cyber and physical, and what this means for several policy areas, including Human Rights, and for governance.
>> - DeNardis, Francesca Musiani and others, have eloquently shown the 'turn to the infrastructure' as a way to exercise governance and power. Corinne Cath and Niels ten Oever have depended the analysis on very important and under-explored points of the IG ecosystem, on infrastructure and standards.
>> - The Geneva Dialogue, organised by Diplo, has shown how topics, such as digital supply chains, necessarily need bottom-up standards of coordination to foster security.
>> - Luca Belli and his team in FGV have helped to understand not only the dynamics of governance in a multipolar world, but also how points of gravity in governance discussions have changed from the US-EU-centered WSIS discussions.
>> - Many good academic papers and policy papers have been published on topics digital sovereignty and public infrastructures, and there is a much more nuanced understanding of these issues than in 2014.
>>
>> This is just to say that I think that whoever takes part in the organization of the event should be attentive and proactively seek to capture these reflections of the last 10 years. They are disperse, but extremely relevant to the overarching concern of NM. And when time comes, I hope CS organisations may also capture some of these concerns in contributions to the final NM document.
>>
>> I would be interested to join the call today depending on the time to get to know more about the plans for the event. I recently deposited my PhD thesis, and I confess I have not been following NM preparations closely. Please share the call details if possible @Bruna Martins dos Santos <mailto:bruna.mrtns at gmail.com>
