Good day, colleagues,
In answer to Michele's question. The only difference I can think of, is that
many people did not want/were not allowed to travel to Ethiopia due to the
political/safety situation or a combination of both. As sessions can be
organised in a hybrid fashion, this may not explain a doubling of proposals in
one year. Thus I tend to agree with Chris, as a lot of attention is pulled
towards internet governance because of the U.N. deliberations and the fear of a
government takeover of internet governance, which may become a reality in 2025.
The more reason to work hard at proving/showing the added value and
effectiveness of the multistakeholder model and I mean this in the broadest
sense, not just the IGF. That is up to all of us....
Best,
Wout de Natris

Chris
Thanks for the update.
Is the volume of proposals etc a post-Covid bump? Or do you think there?s
something else going on?
Regards
Michele

Dear colleagues,
Just a quick update to alert you that the draft schedule of this year?s IGF
(taking place from 8-12 October in Kyoto, Japan, and online) has been published:
https://intgovforum.org/en/filedepot_download/290/26092
This is the most tightly-packed IGF schedule ever (which is saying something!),
and features a mix of workshops, Open Forums and Town Halls (generally sessions
prepared by international or inter-governmental organisations), lightning
talks, and main sessions. It?s worth noting that the number of workshop
proposals received this year (398 in total) was nearly double the number
received last year (a significant increase was also recorded for other session
types), so whittling down to the final selection was a challenge. Some more
detailed stats are available here:
https://www.intgovforum.org/en/filedepot_download/272/25975
?and the proposals received are accessible here:
https://www.intgovforum.org/en/content/igf-2023-sessions
This year?s IGF is taking place at a significant moment for global Internet (or
more broadly, digital) governance, particularly with the ongoing development of
the Global Digital Compact, next year?s 20-year review of the World Summit on
the Information Society (WSIS), ongoing review of the UN?s Sustainable
Development Goals, and developments in response to ssues such as artficial
intelligence. As the primary (perhaps only) multistakeholder space in the UN
for discussing these issues, the IGF is an opportunity to prevent discussion
and decision-making around these issues from being completely drawn into the
multilateral political space (and making sure that the Internet technical
community, alongside civil society and private sector interests, have a seat at
the table!).
If you have any questions about this year?s even in general, or any specific
sessions, feel free to reach out - hapy to help or explain where I can!
Cheers,
Chris
(IGF MAG member for the Internet technical community)

Hi Michele,
Have had some discussions about that, and no definitive answers. I think we
probably saw the bounce back from COVID at last year?s event, so I don?t think
a continuation of that would account for such a significant increase. More
likely the plethora of activities in relation to digital policy, whether at the
UN/global level or in specific states/supranational formations, has simply
brought a lot more attention to these issues and to the IGF itself.
There remain significant challenges in terms of institutional and financial
support for the IGF going forward, so it?s great to see that bottom-up
enthusiasm for participation - hopefully it can translate to the kind of
engagement that will be required to strengthen the IGF?s place in the landscape
of closed, top-down instituions and processes that seem to be multiplying!
Chris
