SUMMARY:2nd Small Island Developing States Internet Governance Forum
DESCRIPTION:Venue: Antigua and Barbuda\nSide Event: 2nd Small Island Developing States Internet Governance Forum \nDate |Time : 29 May 2024 | 14:00 – 15:30 \nVenue: Room 11 \nIntroduction \nThe 2nd Small Island Developing States (SIDS) Internet Governance Forum (IGF) is proposed to be a significant Special Event during the SIDS4 conference in Antigua and Barbuda. Building upon the foundational work of the inaugural SIDS IGF in 2022\, this forum aims to further enhance the dialogue and cooperation among SIDS in the realm of Internet Governance (IG)\, Internet Policy\, and the Digital Economy. By aligning with the current theme of the SIDS 4 conference\, this event seeks to leverage the collective experiences and challenges of SIDS\, to foster a more inclusive\, resilient\, and sustainable digital future for all. \nBackground \nThe first SIDS IGF established a vital platform for SIDS across the Caribbean\, Pacific\, and the Africa\, Indian Ocean\, Mediterranean\, and South China Sea (AIMS) regions to engage in the global discourse on Internet Governance without the necessity of formal membership in entities such as the Dynamic Coalition on Small Island Developing States in the Internet Economy (DC-SIDS). This forum highlighted the unique challenges and opportunities facing SIDS in the digital economy\, fostering a global recognition of the need for inclusive dialogue and collaborative problem-solving. It set the stage for ongoing cooperation and identified initial governance\, procedural\, and operational mechanisms to address critical issues effectively. \nMeeting Objectives  \n\nMaintain this globally visible\, reputable\, recognised platform and ongoing process where SIDS can be involved\, collaborate\, cooperate\, share experiences and have their voices heard re: issues arising from and impacts on their countries by IG\, Internet Policy and the Digital Economy without necessarily having to “join” an entity (e.g. the DC-SIDS)\nHighlight and seek solutions for the critical issues affecting SIDS efforts towards a resilient prosperity.\nConsider and Identify appropriate initial governance\, procedural and operational mechanisms to effectively address and achieved resilient prosperity\nEnsure that all stakeholders\, including marginalised and remote communities\, are included in the dialogue on Internet governance and digital economy\, promoting equitable and inclusive growth.\n\n

The CIGF is the longest running Internet Governance Forum in the world. \nThis year the 20th CIGF will return to Guyana\, where it was launched in 2005. It will be staged in-person but with remote participation via online videoconferencing under the auspices of the CTU and the Government of Guyana. In addition to reviewing achievements over the years\, the Forum will address various facets of Internet Governance of current import to the Caribbean including UN initiatives to adopt a Global Digital Compact in September 2024 and undertake a 20-year review of WSIS-initiated activities in 2025 (WSIS+20 Review); enhancing the reach\, resiliency and sustainability of critical digital infrastructure in the Caribbean; fostering adoption and growth of our digital economies in a trusted and secure manner; and harnessing the benefits of emergent technologies (e.g. AI) while minimising attendant risks. The 3rd Caribbean Youth Internet Governance Forum (3rd CYIGF) will also be hosted during the time of the 20th CIGF. \n\nConsider Internet governance policies and initiatives for priority attention and regional consensus to facilitate accelerated digital transformation in the Caribbean\nElicit the voices and develop the capacity of Caribbean youth in Internet governance by facilitating the 3rd Caribbean Youth Internet Governance Forum\nBuild national and regional capacity and systems in IG to enable\, support\, strengthen and sustain socio-economic development and effective Caribbean participation and representation at regional and global Internet Governance fora\n\nTarget Audience\n\nAcademia\nCivil society\nGovernment policy makers and IT Managers\nInternet users\nInternet service providers and Telecommunications operators\nInternational organisations\nICT Regulators\n\nMore info \nREGISTER
