Diplo
Foundation has announced the intention to host web seminar (webinar) on
Netmundial with people that matters as the subject gains momentum, ITRealms reports.
According to Mrs. Stephanie
Borg Psaila of Diplo's Internet Governance (IG) webinars team told ITRealms that as part of the March
Internet governance webinar, arrangement has been concluded to focus on the
upcoming NETmundial slated to hold in Brazil.
Also, she invited participants
to the webinar on Friday 28th March at 14h UTC/GMT, on the Global
Multistakeholder Meeting on the Future of Internet Governance (NETmundial),
which is taking place in Brazil in April.
Raúl Echeberría, executive
director of LACNIC and co-chair of NETmundial’s Executive Multistakeholder Committee,
and Rodrigo de la Parra, ICANN vice-president, Stakeholder Engagement, Latin
America and the Caribbean, she said, would update the IG community with
developments in Latin America in the preparation for NETmundial.
Further, she said to ITRealms that the webinar
would address the following, among other aspects: “What can we expect from
NETmundial in terms of a tangible outcome? With various IG bodies engaged in
the process, how can the IG community participate in the run-up to the meeting
and during the meeting itself? Based on the contributions received, what are
the top three items on NETmundial’s agenda? What type of ‘Latin American’
flavour can we expect at NETmundial (issues, priorities and actors)?”
She explained to ITRealms that to
participate, potential participate would fill in the registration form though attendance
is free but registration is required.
“The link to join the webinar will be e-mailed on the day, shortly before the start of the webinar. Participants will be able to discuss the topic with the presenters and other participants present for the webinar,” she submitted.
