About the session
The Global Internet Policy Observatory (GIPO), an initiative of the European Commission, is an online tool to help monitor developments on Internet policy around the world and provide better understanding and access to the largest number of potential stakeholders. Governments, NGOs and others interested in Internet Governance, including Internet users, are often daunted by the complexity of this fast-paced policy area. Thanks to the use of advanced IT technologies, GIPO provides a practical tool to navigate this field, increasing expertise and understanding among many more interested actors.
In the third year of the initiative, the Advisory Group members gather together in an open session to discuss GIPO´s future governance structure and its way forward.
Agenda:
13.00-13.20 Quick presentation of the GIPO Observatory Tool status

14.10-14.30 Helping improve multi-stakeholderism by increasing the number of stakeholders and the usefulness of the tools: GIPO’s role (A Follow Up to the IES Policy Brief on Building Better Multistakeholderism)
