Meeting Co-chairs: Sandra Hoferichter, Avri Doria (onsite)

Session draft

Schools on Internet Governance and their curricula

Round Table – 90 Min

Description

This will be the first meeting of the DC-SIG since its organization. One of the first action points agreed upon in the formation document is: Bring together the various SIGs to compare their curricula and the way they work. The models can be documented using common terminology, to be developed, that makes learning from each of models available to all who wish to start or improve a SIG.

This meeting is a follow up from the founding meeting during the last IGF. We will discuss the following issues:

  1. Schools on Internet Governance Taxonomy: There is a great variety among the existing SIGs and the features of the various types of schools. That often makes it difficult to talk about these Schools and to describe them in a less ambiguous manner. Aim is to agree on several categories and criteria for a taxonomy. 
  2. Website: We will introduce a draft website for the DC-Network including tools for interaction (i.e. wiki) and ask for feedback.
  3. Workplan: We will look into the tasks ahead and call for participation in the network, possibly form sub working groups.
