IGF just-in-time reporting

The GIP Digital Watch observatory will provide just-in-time session reports from the IGF, and IGF Daily newsletters, which will be available on the dedicated webpage, dw.giplatform.org/igf2016. A final report, right after the IGF meeting, will summarise the main themes. These will complement the dynamic updates that will be offered through the observatory.

One of the aims of the just-in-time reporting is to address the challenge faced by participants and the wider community in general, both at the IGF and online, to absorb the vast amount of information and data provided in numerous and parallel sessions and other activities.

Diplo / GIP booth

Diplo and the GIP will have a dedicated booth at the IGF Village. Visit us throughout the week, for news and updates on major Diplo projects (IGF updates, GIP Digital Watch, monthly briefings, capacity development activities, and more). A limited number of Internet governance-related publications - including the latest issue of the Geneva Digital Watch newsletter, and the IG Acronyms book, will be available. The Diplo/GIP booth will also serve as an informal - and traditional - meeting place for alumni and friends.
