Dear all,

We, the members of the High-Level Executive Committee of NetMundial+10,
would like to share some relevant information about the upcoming event.

High-Level Executive Committee

As announced by CGI.br, the High-Level Executive Committee (HLEC)
<https://netmundial.br/HLEC> will oversee the organization of the event,
shaping details such as the program, modes of participation, and expected
outcomes. The Civil Society Group of the HLEC is composed of the following
names: (a) Anita Gurumurthy (IT4Change), (b) Bia Barbosa (RSF); (c) Bruna
Santos (Digital Action); (d) Grace Githaiga (KictaNet); (e) Jason
Pielemeier (GNI). Valéria Betancourt (APC) is our stakeholder group
representative in the Co-Chairs group of the HLEC.

The HLEC group was also sub-divided into 3 working groups on (a)
Consultation, (b) program and (c) Participation. So far, our approach to
the discussions have all aimed at ensuring linkages with other processes;
consideration of structural inequality and exclusion matters as well as
barriers for MS engagement in the framing of the consultation and agenda;
an open, inclusive and transparent NM+10 process.

Dates and Participation

As announced at the website <https://netmundial.br/>, the event is set to
take place in São Paulo, at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, on the 29th and 30th of
April 2024. A form for the submission of statements of interest for
participation (online and onsite) will be launched in the coming days.
Through the assessment of pre-defined diversity criteria CGI.br will define
the final list of participants.

Format of the event

The event is being conceived in a similar format to the initial edition
<https://netmundial.br/2014/pt/>: 2 days of discussions, with an opening
session on the morning of the 29th and a closing ceremony at the end of
April 30th. Participation onsite will be limited to up to 100 people per
stakeholder group, but the HLEC has also confirmed CGI.br initial intention
to host the event as a hybrid one with equal footing of participation for
online and onsite participants.

Subject and outcomes

As previously announced by CGI.br,  the event will follow the already
announced framework of talking about current challenges for
multistakeholderism and digital governance - and in the opinion of our SG
group the values of equity, justice, and people's participation we hold
dear as civil society.

NetMundial+10 Secretariat and the HLEC are already working on a draft
consultation document about two points: (a) Principles (drawing on the landmark
2014 document
<https://document.netmundial.br/1-internet-governance-principles/>); and
(b) a common structured agenda named "a new agenda for the future evolution
of the digital world".

What's next?

   -

   Form for collection of statements of interest for participation - Early
   March
   -

   Consultation document with a set of principles and request for topics
   that could integrate the "new agenda for the future evolution of the
   digital world" - Mid/late March



Kind regards,
