It is a tradition that European National and Regional Internet Governance Initiatives (NRIs) are meeting at EuroDIG. The session will consist of 4 thematic segments, facilitated by various stakeholder. The meeting is open for everyone interested in the work of the NRIs.

Session description

Part 1

Digital Cooperation Roadmap in an European context: Update on the processes and the establishment of a Multi-Stakeholder High Level Body (MHLB)
Proposals: #78 #80

Part 2

ICANN – Strengthening and Supporting the IGF. (20 mins) – Andrea Beccalli This part will review ICANN’s history of support for the IGF, along with the mutually reinforcing benefits of collaboration. The talk will also cover identified characteristics of successful and sustainable NRIs, based on ICANN experience. ICANN’s current approaches to IGF support will be covered as well.
Proposals:#64#64

Part 3

IGFSA Update – Future Prospects and Approaches (20 mins) – Markus Kummer or Nigel Hickson or Chris Buckridge This part will provide a brief update on the role and approach of the IGF Support Association, introducing the executive committee and key areas of activity. These include new communications vehicles and a fundraising campaign. Emphasis will be placed on the value added through IGFSA support for NRIs, along with eligibility criteria and how support works. A ‘call to action’ will seek help on achieving IGFSA goals

Part 4 Session hosted by the IGF Secretariat

Towards an innovative IGF 2021 For over a year, the world turned to digital completely. The IGF, as well, was hosted completely online for the very first time in its history. Many lessons are learned and being applied to this year’s IGF. Join us for this interactive session to learn what is new and to help us improve further IGF 2021.

The IGF 2021 process includes an interactive community-centred preparatory phase and the 16th annual meeting to be hosted by the Government of Poland in Katowice from 6 to 10 December. The entire process will be hosted in a hybrid format, to ensure as-equal-as-possible participation of online and onsite participants. Even though the IGF was always hosted in a format that aimed to accommodate online participation, this year's process will invest even more effort into this goal. The COVID-19 pandemic and related travel restrictions are not the only factors that prompted the IGF to evolve towards a hybrid nature. Its mandate, continuous advice from the community, as well as the Roadmap for Digital Cooperation all added to the momentum for concrete action in improving the participation conditions.

The IGF is more out there, closer to people. This is why the intersessional working modalities are also advancing and many capacity development activities are being introduced. We hope that the IGF 2021 process will engage many historically unrepresented stakeholders who will help us to ensure Internet governance processes are present in all corners of the world. This session will allow participants to learn more about IGF innovations and how to effectively engage in the IGF 2021 processes.

Format

Briefings and updates followed by interactive discussions among NRI-Organisers supporters and everyone interested.
