NETmundial+10, a global multistakeholder forum for debating on the global challenges surrounding the issue of digital world governance, was held on April 29 and 30, 2024, at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, in São Paulo, Brazil. There were more than 400 participants registered for the event, from more than 60 countries. [1].
Context[edit | edit source]
The initiative for NETmundial+10, which took place ten years after NETmundial, had the intention of being an opportunity for the national and international community to discuss how to improve governance processes in a context of accelerated digitalization and the rise of new technologies. In 2014, the multistakeholder community convened and issued consensus-based principles and a roadmap for a free, open, safe, and more inclusive Internet. Instead of being a revival or a celebration of the first one, NETmundial+10 seeked to address how to improve governance processes to cope with issues arising from the accelerating pace of digitalization and disruptive technologies. Rather than discussing the details of specific policy issues, the focus of the new event was on bolstering the governance architecture, bringing together key stakeholders to deliver concrete recommendations on how to strengthen the multistakeholder approach as the basis for consensus-building and democratic governance, including in existing multilateral and other relevant decisional fora [2].
Organization[edit | edit source]
The Brazilian Internet Steering Committee (CGI.br), along partner organizations and individuals, brought together the NETmundial+10. (https://netmundial.br/statement/joint-statement-of-the-netmundial10) The NETmundial+10 High-Level Executive Committee (HLEC) was responsible for the organization of the event, shaping details such as the program, modes of participation, and expected outcomes. The HLEC chair was Renata Mieli [3].
Themes and Program[edit | edit source]
The aim of NETmundial+10 was not to duplicate efforts in discussing specific issues of Internet governance and digital cooperation but to create an arena that would allow the community to jointly build concrete political messages and commitments on the multistakeholder approach.
On the first day, two themes were part of the program: “Global Challenges for the Governance of the Digital World”, which aimed to be an overarching debate tackling pressing issues related to the main goals of the event; and “Results from the Consultation and the NETmundial+10 Draft Outcome Document”, which, in turn, was the motto for the members of the event's Executive Committee to briefly discuss the possibilities and listen to comments from the public. Also on April 29, two working sessions delved into specific aspects of the final document, considering the contributions received from the consultation process.
On April 30, in addition to a working session, there were debates on three topics: “Process Coordination: GDC (Global Digital Compact), WSIS+20 (World Summit on the Information Society), IGF (Internet Governance Forum) and others”, which reflected on the fragmentation of spaces and the opportunities for more collaboration and coordination; “Follow-up to NETmundial+10 and Implementation of Outcomes”, which had the goal of gathering opinions from the community on how the results of the meeting would be taken forward and how they would be implemented in relevant forums; and finally, the “Closing Plenary: Multistakeholderism for the Governance of the Digital World”, to present the NETmundial+10 outcome document and hold a brief discussion on possibilities and means of outreach to the global audience [4].
