Subject: [IRPCoalition] IRPC at IGF 2024 - Agenda and Call for on-site moderators

Dear members of the IRPC,

The IGF 2024 in Riyadh (and online) is going to start in a few days (15-19 December 2024). See here for more details: https://www.intgovforum.org/en/content/igf-2024

The Coalition’s steering committee put together a set of workshops and meetings for the IGF.

Due to a number of cancellations due to illness and declined funding this year, we need to re-arrange the plans made for the IGF. The hybrid annual meeting of the IRPC will now occur as a new year event in mid-January, taking stock of the IGF24. We will send around details later and we will offer two separate timings, covering many time zones. Some sessions, such as the 0-Day event “Fit-for-future? A visioning exercise on digital cooperation” with IT for Change, the Global Digital Justice Forum, the Digital Constitutionalism Network and the Dynamic Coalition on Platform Responsibility (DCPR), or the Dynamic Coalitions Main Session, will move forward just with online-participation or moderation by IRPC SC members.

However, most crucially, two planned sessions of the IRPC are at risk as no member of the IRPC steering committee (SC) is able to attend the IGF 2024 in person.


We would cordially invite any member of the IRPC, who is going to be in Riyadh on-site, to support our two sessions, which are currently not able to go ahead due to lack of in-site moderator/organizer. These are:

IGF 2024 AI and Disinformation: Safeguarding Elections

  *   Wednesday December 18, 2024 16:45 - 17:45 GMT+03
  *   Contact: Dennis Redeker (dennisredeker at gmail.com<mailto:dennisredeker at gmail.com>)

IGF 2024 DCPR Information Integrity: Human Rights & Platform Responsibilities.

  *   Thursday December 19, 2024 13:15 - 14:45 GMT+03
  *   Contact: Yasmin Curzi (yasmincurzi at virginia.edu<mailto:yasmincurzi at virginia.edu>)

These sessions are planned and come with speakers, both online and on-site. The SC (and the DCPR) is able to support remotely, as rapporteurs and online moderators. However, it is essential to have someone in the room to make arrangements with the technical team and who can facilitate physical interactions in the room.

If you are in Riyadh and able to support us, please reach out to Dennis or Yasmin (DCPR) respectively.

Best wishes,
The IRPC Steering Committee
