Hi Tim,

I hope you had a good Easter break?

We've now fleshed out a bit our proposals for IGF workshops, and as per your good advice I've sent them round to the list.  However, I have had the bounce back below though and wondered if you could resend to the list for me?

We would love your input and suggestions on these proposals and how you think you could engage with the privacy session (perhaps not so much the women's one, but happy to have of any of your thoughts on this as well). It would be great to hear any suggestions about additions that you would see strengthening the proposal and if there is anything else you think we should be discussing under these topics.

We're still keen on engaging with a greater number of young people, and as such, we will be working with our four youth delegates to create two relevant surveys for each workshop that they will conduct with their peers in order to inform the debate. Is this something that we can share with you as we create them and do you have any networks that you think we could disseminate this via?

A last question - do you have any suggestions of other proposed panellists who spring to mind when thinking about these topics?  We're talking with the APC a lot about the women's one, and I'm working on approaching Sheryl Sandberg (COO Facebook) and have some other high profile women in mind too - possibly Randi Zuckerberg.

[...]

All the best,

Lucinda

Hi all,

I wanted to share with you the two workshop proposals that we have drafted and begun to share with various partners.

1. A consideration of how the internet and access to information can empower women economically, educationally and politically at different stages of their life.  (Access and Diversity)

2. Social media, young people and freedom of expression. (Privacy, openness and security)

We will be talking with our youth delegates (four young people between the ages of 16 and 17) and working with them to create two relevant surveys for each workshop that they will conduct with their peers in order to inform the debate.

Four questions for the group:

 *   We want to know are any other youth panels attending and being interested in part of these sessions?
 *   Would anyone be able to distribute the surveys to their networks and share the results with us? (These are still to be drafted and we will be open to contributions of questions for these)
 *   Does anyone have any comments or suggestions about the workshop proposals - specifically useful additions that you would see strengthening the proposal, (nothing that would change the tone/meaning at this stage.)
 *   Can anyone suggest any other panellists who spring to mind when thinking about these topics?

The closing date for submissions is 20th April - it would be great to hear back by Monday 16th April so we can work to include any input.

With best regards,

Lucinda

Hi Dima,

thanks for the suggestion, the intergenerationnal workshop in vilnius about internet values was good and it will great to do the same for IPR issue where we rarely(in fact never) heard youth speaking in the related sessions .

[Pascal Bekono]

Hello Tim, Lucinda

Thanks for sharing this. I think that both workshops are interesting,
it can be good if we can have different regions perspectives.

Hi Tim, Lucinda and Everyone,

I think the two proposals are good to go. Thanks for the great work. I agree with Pascal's comments.

My two comments:

Consider emphasising the role of government/enforcement agency in the debate on youth, social media and freedom of expression. This is in relation to the roles of these media in political and social activism and the subsequent crackdowns that some governments have imposed/are imposing. What are the experiences from different countries? eg BloggingGhana is trying to use social media to encourage political participation. This campaign is receiving a lot of support locally and elsewhere. Is the situation the same in Iran, USA, Serbia?

Also, about women empowerment and Internet access, in Africa and other parts of the developing world, few women have access to the Internet due to socio--cultural barriers. How can these barriers be removed? And for the few women who have access too, they are likely to encounter more men in their immediate online networks. How does that affect the dynamics of interaction. Is it the same as what pertains offline?

Please share links to the surveys when they are ready. I would like to pass them on to my networks, most of whom are dynamic young African netizens.

BR,

Gameli

Hi All

 

 

This is a very good thought and important platform for women to start engaging at the IGF . We would wish to be involved in doing the survey for African  region. I wish to recommend two young ladies that you could work with you on this

1. Clementia Ondimu email ms.on...@gmail.com
2. Juliet Muthoni Kamiri juliet...@gmail.com

 

Some of the issues that you could look at include

 

·         Empowering Women to take leadership position both at political and cooperate arenas.

·         Content Development is key and we need to get women who can engage others in developing  relevant content

·         Social Economic issues that include addressing cultural issues that remit women in development examples being Early Marriage and FGM.

·         Enabling women access  education through ICT
