The third annul meeting of civil society network Best Bits will take place just before the IGF in Istanbul. As a member of the Best Bits Steering Committee, Anja Kovacs has been involved in the organisation of the event. She is also co-facilitating the session on the ‘Follow-up to WSIS+10 and tactics moving forward’.   Details

As the WSIS+10 Review has started, development issues, though initially intended to be at the centre of the WSIS agenda, have come to take a backseat. Instead, larger questions about who should govern the Internet, and how, have taken centre-stage. This plenary session at the APrIGF, organised by the Internet Democracy Project, will aim to draw lessons from our collective experiences of the past 11 years as part of the WSIS process on how we can move towards a future in which development issues become central in the WSIS once again. In particular, it will consider lessons learned from multistakeholder processes such as the NETmundial, the MPP and the WGEC on how to best get the Internet governance part of the WSIS agenda unstuck. Anja Kovacs is a panelist on the plenary.   Details
