SUMMARY:Digital Leadership in the Caribbean
DESCRIPTION:Venue: Trinidad and Tobago \nIntroduction \nThe Caribbean region is continuing to show meaningful progress in the ways in which governments conduct business and provide public services\, through the adoption of digital transformation strategies. According to the 2022 United Nations E-Government Development Index (EGDI)\, all member states of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) surveyed\, except Haiti\, placed in the “High” development group1. Nevertheless\, citizen impatience with the pace of digital reforms and their ongoing preference for accessing public services through non-digital channels continue to be formidable challenges\, requiring more ambitious and nuanced digital transformation agendas. To deliver on these new agendas\, regional knowledge exchanges on digital policy development\, that leverage the successes and insights gained from each country’s journey\, are critical. \nThe Ministry of Digital Transformation in Trinidad and Tobago (MDT)\, on behalf of the Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago\, in partnership with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the Caribbean Telecommunications Union (CTU)\, wishes to create an enabling space for the region’s most senior policymakers with portfolio responsibility for digitalisation\, in which they can address collaboratively some of the most common impediments faced in the digital transformation of the state. By contributing\, from their unique set of competencies\, knowledge and professional experiences\, these executives will learn from each other and enhance the knowledge base for Caribbean digital policy and practice. \n  \nWorkshop Objectives \nThe Executive Sessions will seek to: \n\nFacilitate a comprehensive understanding among executives of cross-border challenges and opportunities to advance digital transformation in the Caribbean;\nSupport strategy development for confronting and addressing impediments to public sector innovation at the regional\, national and organisational level; and\nChart joint action among the Ministers\, with support from the IDB and CTU\, in the areas of research and innovation to advance the digital agenda.\n\n  \nWorkshop Format  \nThe Executive Sessions will provide six (6) substantive sessions focusing on practical guidance on the most salient topics for Caribbean digitalisation such as (i) e-Identity and interoperability platforms; (ii) cybersecurity for critical infrastructure; and (iii) cross-border data governance. The Executive Sessions will feature in- person presentations by renowned digital thought leaders and offer a helpdesk setting where questions can be asked and answered confidentially2. Moreover\, they will foster an esprit de corps among the policymakers by facilitating peer exchanges on their digital policy successes that reflect the unique sensitivities\, strengths and institutional settings that typify the Caribbean experience. Policy makers will also have facilities available for technical advice in real-time\, by having their designated technical advisor(s) attending the sessions virtually. An open session with specially invited guests representing the region’s private sector and civil society will also allow policymakers to gain perspective on the imperatives of championing a more engaged and trusting digital citizenry. \n  \n1 See Publication: https://publicadministration.un.org/egovkb/en-us/Reports/UN-E-Government-Survey-2022 \n2 Chatham House Rules will be in effect for all closed sessions. \n  \nVIEW AGENDA

SUMMARY:SIDS at ICANN – Where we are at and how do we chart a way forward
DESCRIPTION:Venue: Virtual\n\nBACKGROUND \nThe Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is a key partner of the Caribbean Telecommunications Union (CTU). ICANN is a not-for-profit\, public-benefit organisation formed in 1998. Its staff operates the Internet’s Domain Name System; coordinates allocation and assignment of the Internet’s unique identifiers\, such as Internet Protocol addresses; accredits generic top-level domain (gTLD) name registrars; and helps facilitate the voices of volunteers worldwide who are dedicated to keeping the Internet secure\, stable and interoperable. ICANN promotes competition in the domain name space and helps develop Internet policy. \nThe CTU has been working with ICANN to encourage and support the active participation of Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in ICANN processes. The substantive and sustained participation of SIDS in ICANN is low and the absence of inputs from this globally dispersed but important group of ICANN stakeholders may be adversely impacting ICANN’s policy development. \nIn a measure to identify the challenges SIDS face in participating in ICANN’s processes\, as well as to develop strategies to encourage their sustained and active participation\, ICANN conducted a LAC SIDS Survey in 2022. The objective of the survey was to collect data from stakeholders that clearly identifies the challenges and barriers to SIDS participation in ICANN in order to form an empirical foundation for planning future actions aimed at increasing consistent and substantive participation of SIDS in ICANN. \nThe research questions for the ICANN LAC SIDS survey were: \n\nWhat is your level of participation/involvement at ICANN? (low/medium/high)\nWhat in your opinion are the top 3 challenges to SIDS participation in ICANN?\nWhat do you think makes SIDS engagement different from other developing countries?\nAre you aware of ICANN programs supporting the participation of stakeholders from developing countries?\nAre you aware of the current ICANN support programs? (Newcomers/Fellowship/NextGen)\nIn addition to existing programs and initiatives\, what type of resources should ICANN provide to increase SIDS participation?\nHow does the present structure of geographic regions lend itself to SIDS participation given the diversity of SIDS from a geographic perspective? (Africa\, North America\, Latin\nAmerica/Caribbean\, Asia/Australia/Pacific and Europe)\nWhat strategies should the ICANN Organization use to broaden SIDS stakeholder participation?\nIs there value in focus groups aimed specifically at SIDS vs Developing countries?\nIs there value in focus groups aimed specifically at SIDS vs LAC vs Oceania vs Africa?\n—- the following questions only show if participation in ICANN in question 1 is medium or high\nWhat are the topics of interest to you which are being discussed in ICANN?\nWhat topics currently not being discussed in ICANN would you like to see included in ICANN Discussions?\nWould you like to see KPI’s related to SIDS and under-served regions participation in ICANN?\nHow can regional organisations such as the Caribbean Telecommunications Union (or similar organizations in Oceania and Asia and others) be better leveraged for SIDS engagement in ICANN?\nWhat are some of the other regional organisations that could assist and how?\n\nThe survey population for the survey included persons with knowledge of and experience with ICANN in the Caribbean SIDS\, Oceania SIDS\, Africa SIDS\, Asia SIDS and ICANN organisation GSE. \n  \nMEETING OBJECTIVES AND TARGET AUDIENCE \nThe purpose of this meeting is to present the results of the ICANN LAC SIDS survey to SIDS stakeholders and to discuss openly and collaboratively\, mechanisms and approaches to increase consistent and substantive participation of SIDS in ICANN. This will include any support SIDS’ representatives indicate they require to achieve this objective. \nThe substantive and sustained participation of SIDS in ICANN is low and the absence of inputs from this globally dispersed but important group of ICANN stakeholders may lead to a deficiency of views considered in ICANN policy development leading to implementation of policies which may be detrimental to SIDS. This meeting is one of many stakeholder engagement events that aims to address this ongoing challenge. \nThis meeting is open to all CTU stakeholders and will be conducted virtually on 8th January 2024 at 13:00 hours (AST). \n  \nmore
