CanadianIGF
Canada's premier multistakeholder forum for digital policy dialogue and an NRI of the @intgovforum.bsky.social
- We wrapped up the main sessions of #CIGF2025 with a Town Hall, giving participants the chance to ask questions and discuss key topics like data sovereignty, digital safety, multistakeholderism, AI and more. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s CIGF!
- “Our hope is that young participants start off as youth stakeholders then move to other stakeholder groups. That’s how we sustain engagement over time and build the next gen of leaders for the WSIS+20 process and beyond,” says Dana Cramer, Founder, President & CEO, Young Digital Leaders of Canada.
- The last #CIGF2025 panel is live, looking ahead to the WSIS+20 review. Moderator Jenna Fung leads Charles Noir, Dana Cramer, Isra Rosas, Becky McGilley and Kelly Anderson in discussing lessons learned and the relevance of the multistakeholder model amid fragmented platforms and shifting geopolitics.
- “The diversity of voices risks sidelining the technical community or injecting geopolitical influence into technical decisions, highlighting the need to recognize it as a distinct stakeholder in internet governance,” says Becky McGilley, Senior Director for Government Engagement Operations, ICANN.
