Title: From Talk to Action: Safeguarding Core Internet Values in Today’s Digital Governance
Over the years, FLASH sessions at EuroDIG and the Global IGF have provided vibrant spaces for community-driven dialogue. But how do we ensure that these conversations translate into action, especially when it comes to defending and evolving the Core Internet Values that underpin the open, global Internet?
This session will reflect on how past FLASH discussions, such as those at the Global IGF in Riyadh, have contributed to real-world initiatives or influenced policy. It will also examine whether and how Core Internet Values are being upheld, challenged, or reshaped in current governance processes, from content regulation and AI oversight to digital sovereignty debates.
Cheers,
Pari

Dear Olivier, Pari, and all taking part,
good luck! I hope you have the attendance our message needs!
Maybe a fitting summary would be "If you are here it's because the Internet's core values are still holding up - so what are you going to do to keep them going?"
Like many in the Americas it is likely I won't be able to connect to the session, so hopeful for a recording or transcript and your notes on attendance and impact. Cheers and best wishes!

May 14 2025 – the IGF Dynamic Coalition on Core Internet Values (DC-CIV) held a flash session ‘From Talk to Action: Safeguarding Core Internet Values in Today’s Digital Governance ‘ at the 2025 Pan-European dialogue on Internet governance (EuroDIG) at the Palais de l’Europe in Strasbourg France.
The Internet Governance Forum has been, in the past, often given the sobriquet of “a talk shop”. During the WSIS+10 Review, the APC performed an analysis of concrete decisions or actions that have been taken as a result of engagement at national, regional and global Internet Governance Forum. Since the WSIS+10 recommended that more “Concrete Outcomes” were needed from the IGF, a number of processes including the publication of formal messages from each IGF as well as the IGF High Level Panel were implemented. Today, many examples abound where the dialogue started at IGF and ended up with concrete outcomes including discussions that moved to specialised fora and agencies. Linking workshops and the IGF Processes to SDGs was also a significant step into making sure the IGF discussions led to advances in the world’s sustainable development.
This session looked at the specific case of Core Internet Values. From its first workshop in Sharm el Sheikh 2009 (Workshop on Fundamentals: Core Internet Values) until today, the DC-CIV has been refining the list of Core Internet Values and this, along with work undertaken by other organizations, has led to the widespread comprehension that there are indeed some Internet fundamentals which make the Internet what it is and what it will continue to be. But what and how can more be done?
