> Dear Friends, [Apologies for possible duplications] We would like to bring
> to your attention the civil society call for expressions of interest to
> participate in the Global Conference on Cyberspace 2015 (GCCS 2015) and a
> civil society pre-event, hosted by the government of the Kingdom of the
> Netherlands, and taking place in The Hague on 16 and 17 April 2015.
> Following on from the London (2011), Budapest (2012), and Seoul (2013)
> Conferences, the 2015 event in The Hague will provide an opportunity for
> strategic level discussion of key cyberspace issues. The Conference aims to
> examine core issues related to the cyber domain, structured around the three
> main themes of Freedom, Security and Growth. Focus will be placed on
> exchange of knowledge and ideas on these issues and the development of
> concrete solutions. The Conference will encourage multi-stakeholder
> participation from the worlds of business, academia as well as civil
> society. A day and a half civil society pre-event will take place in the
> run-up to the Conference (14-15 April) to facilitate civil society
> coordination and input into the main Conference. An in-depth training on
> cyber security issues will be offered as part of this pre-event. In
> addition, an online training curriculum will be made available to the wider
> public. The Conference organisers are interested in a balanced and diverse
> participation and in supporting those who will find a practical use for the
> training and attendance offered. The Expression of Interest Form, in
> addition to logging interest in attending the Conference and the civil
> society pre-event, will also serve as a platform to capture requests for
> financial support. Limited financial support is available for a number of
> civil society participants. In order to be considered as a
> Conference/pre-event participant and/or a candidate for financial support,
> please fill in the Expression of Interest Form via the following link by
> January 30:https://www.gccs2015.com/civil-society-participation-form
> Expressions of interest and requests for funding received will be evaluated
> by an ad hoc Advisory Board set up to assist the organizers of the
> Conference in selecting civil society participants to receive funding and to
> attend the GCCS2015 and the civil society pre-event, to help ensure that the
> Conference is as inclusive and representative as possible. Criteria for
> financial support are designed to ensure a diverse spread of applicants is
> achieved, focussing on global south applicants and aimed at securing a
> balance of gender, regional diversity and level of experience in cyber
> security issues. Please feel free to share this information with your
> networks. Best wishes, On behalf of:Andrew Puddephatt, Evelien Wijkstra, Tim
> MaurerAdvisory Board Co-chairs
