Since 2012, members of civil society have come together on the weekend ahead of the Internet Governance Forum for a meeting designed to facilitate coordination, knowledge sharing, and partnership on joint activities. Since 2016 this meeting has been broadened out to explicitly include other civil society networks, while the aims of the event remain largely the same.
Joint organizers of this meeting are the Association for Progressive Communications (APC), Best Bits, the Civil Society Internet Governance Caucus (IGC), the Just Net Coalition (JNC), and ICANN’s Non-Commercial Stakeholders Group (NCSG). The meeting is hosted by courtesy of Diplo Foundation and the Geneva Internet Project.
The overall theme for this meeting is Private Regulation of the Internet. The detailed session agenda (which is subject to change) may be found under the “Latest agenda” tab.
Objectives
- To raise the level of shared understanding about related groups, initiatives and issues and their political contexts.
- To broaden and diversify participation in the initiatives that participants are undertaking individually or in smaller networks in the areas of Internet governance and Internet and human rights.
- To amplify the voice of global civil society at upcoming multilateral Internet governance and Internet rights meetings.
- To strengthen involvement from civil society from the Global South in particular in global Internet governance and Internet rights debates and to dissolve North-South divides.
- To produce tangible shared civil society outputs addressing pressing current issues that can be used in advocacy at important upcoming Internet governance and Internet rights events.
- To develop an inclusive and sustainable civil society network for Internet governance and Internet rights issues.
