Roundtable
Duration (minutes): 90
Format description: The roundtable format is best suited as we are seeking an exchange of views where participants will build on each other’s ideas, advance their thinking and develop shared suggestions. The time duration is required because we anticipate significant interest in this topic during this year’s IGF, and will need as much time as possible to allow participants’ ideas to be both shared and developed.
A. How should the IGF evolve to meet the challenges of the modern digital world? (E.g. What new working methods are required?) B. How can governments, the private sector, civil society, academia and the technical community better engage with each other within the IGF to address digital challenges? C. How and where can the NETmundial+10 guidelines and process steps be applied within the IGF framework and elsewhere?
What will participants gain from attending this session? Participants will explore ways to strengthen and improve stakeholder cooperation within the IGF framework that allow it to better deliver on the needs of diverse stakeholders. Participants will have an opportunity to provide views on possible policy outputs such as the development of shared norms, non-binding policy recommendations or other new working methods for the IGF. They will also have an opportunity to consider how the IGF can implement the NETmundial+10 guidelines and process for multistakeholder consensus-building and decision-making.
Description:
Global Internet governance requires effective models of multistakeholder cooperation, which requires continued efforts by all stakeholders to aggregate their interests into implementable policy solutions that can address complex digital challenges. The aim of this workshop is to identify ways to strengthen and support the open, transparent, inclusive and bottom-up governance process related to the use and evolution of the Internet. The workshop will consider the outcomes of multistakeholder and multilateral Internet governance and digital processes in 2024, such as NETmundial+10 and the Global Digital Compact, and how these may be applied to achieving the Internet we want.
The session will identify ways to strengthen cooperation among stakeholder groups and evolve the Internet governance and digital policy system, including evolving the IGF itself. The session will document any ideas for new IGF working methods that arise from this session. We envisage this session may generate proposals that could be followed up through National and Regional Initiatives and other IGF intersessional work for ongoing discussion at global IGFs in future years.
Hybrid Format: The onsite and online moderators will work together to ensure that both online and onsite participants have opportunity to contribute equally to the discussion and developing of any outcomes of the session. Onsite participants will be asked to log into the virtual meeting to better engage with online participants. The session will be designed to facilitate discussion and consideration of potential new working methods for the IGF. The online and onsite moderators will work together to ensure the participant experience is as similar as possible by asking onsite participants equal participant experience e.g all questions will be queued through the zoom room rather than selecting from those physically present. Participants may be invited to use Mentimeter or similar tool to engage with and measure responses to specific policy questions
