IGC priorities November 2019-November 2020

Introduction

In order to inform the priorities of IGC, and help the co-ordinators ensure that the facilitation of IGC efforts is aligned with the wishes of the IGC, please fill out the following survey by November 06.

We will use the survey results to guide our priorities as coordinators over the 2019-2020 period and it will also be used as a reference during the day 0 event in Berlin.

We are already working to put in place an Appeals Team for the IGC consistent with the Charter. The survey covers other aspects relevant to the IGC’s functioning, including possible priorities for coordinated advocacy at relevant global policy forums, and internal communications and administrative functions of the IGC.

Your views as an IGC member are very valuable to us, so thank you for your time in advance.

Question Title

* 1. What do you think should be the key focus for the IGC over the period November 2019-November 2020?

Identifying key thematic areas (e.g content moderation, emerging technologies/4th industrial revolution/AI, cybersecurity) which we would like to focus on as the IGC and developing a Strategic Development Framework for engagement, to include identification of key forums for engagement and areas for collaboration with other stakeholder communities such as the technical community and private sector.

Facilitating coordinated civil society inputs into discussions at key internet governance forums (e.g WTO, WIPO, ITU, UN First Committee/Second/Third Committee, Human Rights Council, G20/G7, others?)

Identifying how we can input into the IGF intersessionals such as the Best Practice Forums and the Dynamic Coalitions for IGF 2020.
