[NCUC-DISCUSS] [Announcement] NCUC session at the Internet Freedom Festival

[David Cake]

The Internet Freedom Festival is an excellent event, and I think it is great we are building on the event Renata and I worked on last year. I very much wish I could attend.

I also really am very interested in the Safer Community Spaces Toolkit that is due to be launched there, and whether there are suggestions in there that we might consider for NCUC. I hope some of our leadership team there will attend.

As these participants are already tracking issues like privacy and data protection, human rights in online contexts, economic growth and development for empowerment, and increasing access to knowledge, we believe they have the capacity to be quickly brought up to speed on our work. Our longer-term goal is to help them translate these skills to Domain Name System policy debates.

It is organised around seven themes, one of which is “Advocacy, Policy, and Research,” and is held annually in Valencia, Spain. The NCUC’s participation in this forum is made possible through one of ICANN's CROP regional opportunities.
