Dear colleagues, Please find below the call for workshop proposals for this year’s Internet Governance Forum (IGF), which is planned to take place in Ethiopia in November, but which will be a fully hybrid event (so you don’t need to be on-site to be an active participant, or even session organiser!). This IGF is happening at a very dynamic and significant moment for Internet governance - this is playing out in a variety of ways, not least in how the world’s governments are trying to engage with the Internet and exert varying degrees of control over its use and operations. You’ll note in the call for proposals that the IGF this year has been structured around five themes (each workshop proposal should relate back to at least one of these themes) - this is a deliberate strategy to reflect the themes that the UN has identified for a “Global Digital Compact” that it plans to develop in 2023 (see Commitment #7 here: https://www.un.org/en/content/common-agenda-report/#download). By structuring the conference in this way, it’s hoped that the IGF discussions will provide multistakeholder input to this development of this Global Digital Compact. The RIPE NCC (and our fellow RIRs) will be looking at how best to participate in IGF 2022, and will be happy to work with members of the RIPE community to ensure that this community’s perspectives and concerns are reflected in the discussions. If you’ve got any questions about the IGF or this process, please feel free to drop me a mail! Cheers Chris ——— Chris Buckridge Advisor to the Managing Director, Global Strategic Engagement RIPE NCC (…and your friendly neighbourhood IGF MAG member!)
