The Internet Governance Forum (IGF)
2019 has open for registration. The fourteen IGF is schedule to be hosted by the Government of Germany under the
overarching theme: ‘’One World. One Net. One Vision from 25 to 29 November 2019,
Berlin Germany. The Forum aims at bringing together more than 2,000
participants from different stakeholder groups and some of the most prominent
individuals in the global Internet governance discussion.
According to IGF secretariat, “Following extensive, broad-based, and
multi-stakeholder discussion on the thematic direction for IGF activities in
2019, the IGF Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) has identified three
priority themes for a focused and cohesive programme for this year. These are,
(1) Data Governance; (2) Digital Inclusion; and (3) Security, Safety, Stability
& Resilience. The detailed programme
of the 14th IGF, including its main sessions and workshops, as well as related information,
is available at the IGF website. In addition, the programme will be enriched by
the community-led Best Practice Forums on Big Data, Internet of Things and
Artificial Intelligence; Cybersecurity; Gender and Access; and Local Content,
as well as by the work of 18 multistakeholder Dynamic Coalitions and 116
national and regional IGF initiatives. The Forum will focus on how digital
frontier technologies bring benefits to our economies and societies. Their
transformative impact is critical to the future sustainability of our world and
to the achievements of the sustainable development goals (SDGs). However, with
these great benefits come a growing number of concerns and challenges.
Increasingly we are faced with cyber-attacks, data and privacy breaches, and
proliferation of hate speech and censorship. These and other emerging
challenges threaten to undermine the beneficial impact of the Internet. “
