[IRPCoalition] The IRPC at the IGF 2025 in Lillestrøm

[Dennis Redeker]

Dear members of the IRPC,

The Coalition will (obviously) be taking an active part in this year's
Internet Governance Forum in Lillestrøm, Norway (23-27 June 2025) and
online. Many of you - the IRPC's members - and also the Steering Committee
are getting ready to engage in various Internet governance discussions in
specific workshops, lightning talks, open fora and coffee breaks.

You may discuss human rights online as part of your in person or through
remote participation (and perhaps refer to the Charter
<https://internetrightsandprinciples.org/charter/>). When you discuss these
matters, you may wonder about how "mainstreamed" human rights are in
Internet governance discussions. Yet, you may also be dismayed about the
striking lack of full realization of human rights online.

To discuss your experiences at the IGF and beyond, and to induce new
dynamism into our Dynamic Coalition, we will hold an *Annual Meeting of the
IRPC* on 25 June 2025 both onsight in Lillestrøm and online. From 12:00 to
13:00 Central European Time, we would like to discuss with all of you how
to develop and reinvigorate our mission at a crucial time for Internet
governance, human rights and democracy.

In person: Meeting Room "Hordaland 2" - one of the IGF-provided meeting
rooms - in the Thon Hotel Arena (next to the conference venue)
Zoom: Please register here
