Subject: [Community] Fwd: [NRIs List] IGF 2019 Call for Travel Support

Colleagues,

The email below presents an opportunity for parties interested in Internet Governance (and that really should be all of us)

WACREN is promoting a model where NRENs and National and Regional IGF initiatives (NRIs)<https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-regional-and-national-initiatives> collaborate on issues of Internet Governance in their countries.  In particular, NRENs can exploit the student communities in their networks to bootstrap the emergence of youth-led initiatives.

The model was recently tested in Nigeria and you can read the report of the Nigerian Youth Internet Governance Forum (NYIGF) that was launched as a result at https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/index.php?q=filedepot_download/7508/1518

Best wishes,

Omo OAIYA

Chief Strategy Officer/Directeur de la Stratégie | WACREN<http://www.wacren.net/>

Dear Colleagues,

The Call for Travel Support to attend the 14th annual IGF meeting<https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/supporting-participation-at-the-igf-2019-annual-meeting> is open until 30 June 2019: https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/supporting-participation-at-the-igf-2019-annual-meeting

Background
During the IGF 2018 meeting in Paris, the United Nations Secretary-General has called for action to increase inclusiveness in the IGF processes. Specifically, it was called for a ‘dedicated effort to include and amplify the weak and missing voices’, as well as for the IGF to evolve toward a more multidisciplinary framework (see full speech<http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2018-address-to-the-internet-governance-forum-by-un-sg-ant%C3%B3nio-guterres>).
Historically, the IGF community has also advised to increase diversity in the IGF processes.
For these reasons, the IGF 2019 Host Country, Government of Germany, will support eligible stakeholders to participate at the 14th annual IGF meeting in Berlin, from 25 – 29 November 2019.

Application and Selection Process
All interested stakeholders are invited to submit their expressions of interest through a dedicated form<https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2019-call-for-travel-support> at the IGF website by 30 June 2019. The IGF Secretariat/UNDESA will collaborate with the multistakeholder organizing committees of the national, regional and youth IGF initiatives (NRIs) in order to identify the most suitable candidates that will enrich the IGF 2019 processes, but also bring long-term benefits to their respective communities from gained experience.

Potential applicants are kindly advised to consult the IGF website and review all information about the application and evaluation procedure, before submitting requests.

Best regards,
IGF Secretariat
