Mon Jan 22 13:26:16 EST 2018

Lynn and others,
I also appreciate Lynn's open sharing of related activities, like the WEF
meeting, with her, requests for our contributions/input, and active support
and outreach concerning IGF activities. The MAG and IGF community should
take advantage of this opportunity.
Best,
Ginger

>> Dear colleagues,
>>
>> I am writing to you as I/the IGF have been invited to participate in the
>> World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos.   This year the theme is:
>> "Creating a Shared Future in a Fractured World”.    Note: There is a guide
>> on how to follow/“participate” in Davos here:
>> https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2017/12/how-to-follow-davos-2018/    And,
>> there is an ongoing stream of content on digital issues, including an
>> interesting interactive map available through the first panel here:
>> https://www.weforum.org/system-initiatives/shaping-the-
>> future-of-digital-economy-and-society/articles
>>
>> In 2017,  the IGF Secretariat, the CENB facilitators, some DCs, and I (as
>> IGF MAG Chair) participated in various World Economic Forum (WEF)
>> meetings/conference calls.   Many were connected to Access and their
>> “Internet For All” projects, but others were connected to IoT, and Networks
>> as Platforms, to name only a few.    WEF activities in relevant areas
>> (where we were aware of them) were flagged to the NRIs, DCs, etc.   In
>> addition, for several years there has been a two-way collaboration between
>> the WEF and the IGF major policy initiative (IGF Policy Options for
>> Connecting and Enabling the Next Billion(s)).
>>
>> As mentioned during previous MAG meetings,  I was also asked to Co-Chair
>> the Stewardship Board for a WEF Initiative called “Digital Economy and
>> Society” (DES).    This Stewardship Board is convened annually during the
>> World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos.  Per the WEF this initiative
>> provides an opportunity to develop a shared vision for a sustainable,
>> inclusive, and trustworthy digital future and priorities for collaborative
>> action.   In particular, the initiative seeks to align and accelerate
>> progress around six shared global outcomes:
>>
>> 1.     Access & Adoption: All people (without differences in geography,
>> gender or income) can access and use the internet
>> 2.     Responsible Digital Transformation: Business, government and civil
>> society leaders act responsibly and competently to usher in a sustainable
>> digital transformation
>> 3.     Fit for purpose, informed governance: Global, regional, national
>> policies are informed by evidence and well-equipped to deal with the
>> transnational nature of digital connectivity
>> 4.     Secure & resilient people, processes & practices: All individuals,
>> institutions and infrastructure are resilient to vulnerabilities created by
>> increasing digital connectivity
>> 5.     Robust, interoperable digital Identities: All people can access
>> and use integrated, inclusive, trusted digital identity regimes that
>> enhance their social and economic well being
>> 6.     Benefits from data sharing while respecting privacy: Individuals
>> and institutions can share data in ways that create social and economic
>> value while respecting the privacy of fellow digital citizens
>>
>> James Smith, President & CEO, Thomson Reuters is the other Co-Chair, and
>> together, we will be facilitating the Stewardship Board Meeting at Davos
>> this year.   To the extent that there are activities that are aligned and
>> that you wish to highlight we would welcome hearing them.
>>
>> I am also moderating or speaking at various panels during Davos and will
>> be reflecting IGF activities, value, values and principles.  Some of the
>> sessions:
>> - Strategic Outlook: Digital Economy
>> - BroadBand Commission - Internet For All session
>> - Trustworthy Data: The Foundation of Innovation
>>
>> There are many common topics of interest and everyone is encouraged to
>> share view points/submit questions, so please see the link below for social
>> media info., etc. https://www.weforum.org/agenda
>> /2017/12/how-to-follow-davos-2018/
>>
>> Note: I am sending this note to last years MAG (noting the 2018 MAG and
>> MAG Chair are not yet formally constituted).  I am also asking  the
>> secretariat to forward this note to the NRIs, DCs, CENB, etc. and to note
>> this on the IGF website in order to get the broadest distribution possible.

>> Very much look forward to your contributions,
