While there are regional and continental Schools on Internet Governance within Africa, Nigeria only held the first one in July 2019. This is beginning to make a change in the limited numbers of Nigerians participating in Internet Governance. The Nigerian School on Internet Governance gives Nigerians room to learn more about Internet Governance and subsequently continue to participate in the IG space both locally and regionally.

The Nigerian School on Internet Governance was initiated within the Internet Society Nigerian Chapter for the benefit of members of the Nigerian Internet community.

The main objective of the Nigeria School of Internet Governance is to train new leaders of opinion in all aspects related to Internet Governance, from a global perspective and with focus on the Nigeria perspective.

The program helps interested students, academic as well as individuals working in the private sector as well as in government to get comprehensive and structured knowledge on Internet governance. To better understand the complexity related to Internet governance and its importance in the future of the Internet.

The mission of the Nigeria School of Internet Governance is to:

1. Increase the number of representatives from Nigeria in the international Internet Governance debate spaces.
2. Motivate its participants presenting their opinions and to become active participants in Internet Governance meetings and activities, where the future of the Internet is shaped.
3. Make the participants become the future leaders on Internet Governance in the Nigeria space and region.

It will consist of 15 sessions covering IG topics.

The 2nd NSIG is in its second year and the only  national / NRI School of  Internet Governance in Nigeria aside the WASIG in the region.

There will be opportunities for Q&A, coffee breaks (morning and afternoon), lunch and social events during the 4 day school.

Timing:

The NSIG  will be held in July, 2020 . Specific date is TBD (Subject to the availability / presence of the Federal Minister of Communication and Digital Economy) who is expected to close the Nigerian Internet Governance forum.

Request: 

We are requesting travel, lodging and per diem support for a minimum of 6 speakers well rooted in the ICANN/ ATLARGE process which will augment the pool of local speakers. We also request  for travel support fellowship for students and next generation leaders to attend and participate actively in the school.

Demographics: 

There will be at least sixty (60) participants in the School of Internet Governance. This will include 30 members from Internet Society (ISOC) Nigeria chapter who will be given fellowships to attend and interested stakeholders from CSOs to regulator/government, academia, technical community distributed evenly.

Prior to EURALO f2f General Assembly that will be held in FY21, a training will be organized for all EURALO ALS representatives similar to what was held during ATLAS III.

As we had a small number of Euralo participants to ATLAS III, we would like to organize a targeted training on policy involvement for each ALS rep + some members of Euralo IUA (who will be at the GA).

Request Number

20K$ to 40k$

We will carry out Training activities on topics that represent milestones in the process of Evolution of the Multistakeholder Model within ICANN and Update of Policy Issues within the LACRALO Directory.

Fortunately, part of the LACRALO Board of Directors actively participated in ATLAS III, which allows us to ensure an application of what has been learned and an evolution of the process.

Our proposal seeks to promote greater participation from countries such as Nicaragua, which has been more actively incorporated shortly before ATLAS III.

As part of our regional strategy to promote the participation of countries that are not yet represented in LACRALO, our activity focuses on creating the Regional Strategy, for Five (5) years, that allows us to engage more members with active and informed participation .

We want to create an Information Bulletin which allows us to give an institutional voice to the Organization

Regional and globally promote the most important activities and information of the Organizations of Users (ALSs) of the Region.

Type of Training: Education/training - Capacity Building / Policy Discussion / Outreach

Deliverables: 

• Paper: Evolve of Regional Strategy for next five (5) years.
• Guidelines to Detect and Mentor potential active members from our four (4) sub-regions.

Travel Support: For any ATLAS III participant who is not funded for the LACRALO General Assembly.

To organize and deliver the third NORTH AMERICAN SCHOOL OF INTERNET GOVERNANCE (NASIG). This would be a two-day capacity building event to provide in-depth knowledge of Internet Governance (IG) issues to approximately 40 individuals, with many from ATLARGE. NASIG 2020 is our third consecutive year and the only School of Internet Governance in North America. Past NASIGs have proven to be successful and well attended, with 28 students in 2018 and 50 students in 2019.  

NASIG 2020 will consist of 10-15 sessions covering the most pressing IG topics, many of which will align with the strategic objectives and goals identified in ICANN’s Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2021-2025, such as the IANA functions, Universal Acceptance, cybersecurity, the multistakeholder model, ICANN’s role in Internet Governance, and much more. These sessions will be run by community leaders, including many of those actively involved in ICANN.

We will seek to bring in students from all across North America and will also seek to take advantage of the high level of interest in Washington, DC. This includes policymakers, tech policy staff for civil society and industry, students from the many universities in the area.

By bringing in a wide variety of stakeholders for this educational program, we are contributing to a healthy Internet governance ecosystem, by making sure that the people who have an interest in IG in North America are well-informed, which will lead to better results for the Internet.

We are requesting $10,000 to be put toward venue costs, catering, and tech support for livestreaming and captioning.

Based on previous experience organizing events in Washington, DC we expect the costs of each to be in line with the following estimates:

Venue Rental - $5000

Catering - $6000

Livestream and Captioning - $4000
