Dear Colleagues,

with apologies for the late delivery, please be so kind to find the draft DC-CIV Annual Activity Report for the year 2025. I invite you all to read through it and comment on: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Z8OdOUKT3Tze-JMxJl9c_520EF3mVRchw4OOkElEQJE/edit?usp=sharing

It is very likely that I have forgotten both some important interventions made on behalf of Core Internet Values by members of the Coalition as well as key points made in our various sessions, since I drafted most of the report from other session reports, some of which are already summaries. I admit also getting some help from AI tools when searching for specific quotes and interventions and in receiving some help in drafting the report, pursuant which, I thoroughly cross-checked the sources.

If you notice things that I have missed, please let me know as soon as possible. Whilst we are late submitting an annual report, deadlines are not so time-critical and I would rather have a full report of our year's activities than something incomplete. You may make suggestions and comments directly on the Google Doc - that's what it is there for!

For reference, our past year reports and papers submitted to the IGF Secretariat are posted on: https://intgovforum.org/en/content/dynamic-coalition-on-core-internet-values-dc-civ

I plan to follow-up with the IGF Secretariat for links to our yearly Sessions since 2018 to be added to that page.

I also take this opportunity to thank everyone who was involved in the DC's Activities in 2025. We had a great turnout for the session at EuroDIG that had started as a "flash session" but thanks to Joly McFie, was properly archived. We also had an exceptional turnout at the IGF Session since the DC CIV was one of few DCs that was allocated a workshop slot, in a venue allowing fewer sessions than usual. We made the best of it and received much praise for the exceptional panel and interesting discussions.

This is your Dynamic Coalition, and I am more than ever convinced that any issue of Internet Governance today, is as relevant to Core Internet Values today than it was in 2009. 
The main question is "where do we start?" because there is so much going on. 

At present, we have several threads:
- AI Thread in collaboration with DC-Network Neutrality
- Core Values and IoT thread in collaboration with DC-IoT
- Core Internet Values Tracking thread with CIVOBS

How do we push all of these and build on our experience and past sessions? Should we constitute sub-groups? Topic Leads? Let's discuss.

In the meantime, please comment on the Activity Report by Wednesday 1st April 2026.

Kindest regards,

Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond
DC Core Internet Values Chair

HI OLivier
This looks good.  I like how you gave the introduction of the DC. Did the DC participate in the Webinar series last year and if so then you may want to add that in.  As well as the IGF sessions that the DCCG had during the iGF as I recall you had participated in these as well.  Otherwise a good summation of the activity
