As usual, we’ve primed this edition of the [[ICANNWiki Quickie]] to be a helpful aid to newcomers--which means an introduction on how to get involved in [[ICANN]], a whole new slew of expanded and explained acronyms, a feature on gender equity in tech organizations as well as an exhibition of the numerous capacity building projects making the Internet a better place. We also built this Quickie to honor members of our community who weren’t able to make it to this meeting--which means crafting another creative mural. From cover to cover, we’ve lovingly crafted a comprehensive primer for newcomers. We hope you enjoy, and most importantly, learn something new and useful.

'''[[Diplo Foundation]]'s IGCBP'''<br />
Diplo’s Internet Governance Capacity Building Programme
(IGCBP) engages stakeholders from small and developing countries to participate in Internet policy processes through a multidisciplinary program, that goes beyond training and research, by partnering with international organizations, academics and governments. Participants begin with an online Introduction to Internet governance course, followed by more in-depth courses on important subjects, such as cybersecurity, E-participation and more. Then the course transitions to a research phase, followed by policy immersion and finally community practice.
Diplo is also the home of the Geneva Internet Platform, which provides monthly briefings on Internet governance and seeks to be a “neutral and inclusive space for digital policy debates.” They utilize their physical presence in Geneva and their online presence, such as the Digital Watch to empower global stakeholders, but especially those from small and developing countries.

'''[[Asia Pacific Internet Governance Academy]]'''<br />
'''[[Asia Pacific Internet Governance Academy]]'''<br />
In August 2016, ICANN and KISA (Korean & Internet Security Agency) co-hosted a five-day conference in Seoul, South Korea at Yonsei University. The conference focused on Internet governance for undergraduate and graduate students and strove to convey the history and development of Internet governance, as well as how to shape and get involved in these spaces now. Topics included the technical fundamentals of the Internet, the role of the Asia Pacific region in the Internet governance ecosystem, and an introduction to multistakeholderism.

The five-day event covers Internet governance’s many pluralities, including the socio-cultural, political and technological implications. These topics and more are given real-world context through roleplay and interactive sessions. The last MEAC-SIG took place August 2016 in Beirut, Lebanon.

'''[[Tech Needs Girls]]'''
Tech Needs Girls is a mentorship program based in Ghana, Africa. The organization currently has 2,065 girls enrolled and partnered with 15 mentors in order to learn code and take part in contributing to developing technologies.The program routinely holds hands-on coding, social media and software development courses for young women, in order to improve college graduation rates and to disrupt the young bride tradition often found in the lives of Ghanan girls.
'''[[African Internet Governance Forum]]'''
The AfIGF, held once a year, is a space for dialogue between over 200 stakeholders from 30 countries regarding the wellbeing and growth of the Internet in Africa. AfIGF met in October, 2016 in Durban, South Africa with a few key objectives in mind: to increase inclusiveness with regard to African digital transformation, and building a gender balanced multistakeholder model. Pre-conference sessions focused on the role of African civil society on Internet governance, as well as the influence of youth.
==Europe==
'''Southeastern European Dialogue on Internet Governance ([[SEEDIG]])'''<br />
Outside of planning for an annual meeting, stakeholders participate in intersessional activities that promote a cohesive inclusion. After meeting, session takeaways and deliberations are disseminated throughout regional governmental agencies, parliaments, companies and organizations.
SEEDIG 2016 meets “not [to] make decisions, but...influence those who do.”
The third annual meeting will take place May 24-25 in Ohrid, in the former Republic of Yugoslavia, Macedonia.
'''[[EUROSSIG]]'''<br />
From the organization’s website: “The European Summer School on Internet Governance (EuroSSIG) helps interested students
and academics as well as individuals working in the private sector or in government, to understand better the global Internet Governance controversy and to get a comprehensive and structured knowledge on the various aspects of Internet Governance. A one week academic course, taking place annually end of July, covers the political, legal, economic, socio-cultural, technological and other dimensions of the governance of the Internet. The course includes also practical oriented lectures covering the management of critical Internet resources as well as the development of the domain name market.”
[[EuroSSIG]] is an annual summer school on Internet Governance, now in its 11th year. This year’s event will take place in Meissen, Germany, July 16 - 22.
==Latin America==
'''[[The Youth Observatory]]'''<br />
In an effort to improve youth engagement in Internet Governance, participants of the Youth@IGF 2015 formed the Youth Observatory. 80 members, including a full board created a charter letter in order to work together to create an environment of growth and learning. The organization’s website hosts a series of newsletters full of opportunities for developing professionals. While the organization is largely comprised of Latin American youth, anyone who is considered a youth and has interest in governance is welcome to join.
'''South School on Internet Governance ([[SSIG]])'''<br />
The South School on Internet Governance (SSIG) holds an annual program to train stakeholders in the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region on issues relating to Internet governance (IG). The school is held in different locations each year, to provide diverse perspectives and participation. It features experts from different stakeholder groups on panels that educate the fellows about the most pressing issues facing IG. The conference organizers host a number of Fellows and strive to cover most expenses through sponsorship, so that attendance is possible for anyone interested in IG.
This year’s conference will be held in Rio de Janeiro from 3-7 April 2017, in the Auditorium of the Getulio Vargas Foundation, and will feature simultaneously translations in English, Spanish and Portuguese, all of which will also be available for remote participation.
