I attended several IGFs and ME IGFs but what I’ve seen at the APrIGF of the empowerment and capacity building of their community and youth in the Internet Governance space doesn’t have its parallel at any other regional IGFs. APrIGF, does give high attention to youth from schools through introducing them to the Internet Governance policy work. That gives to youth the opportunities to be future leaders in their countries and internationally. The evidence of this empowerment is the maturity of the youth logic during the debates which is very close to senior participants.  Another activity at the APrIGF that empowers the fellows is the thematic buddy group assignment which is based on the APrIGF themes. Then at the closing plenary, members of the group provide a short summary report on each of the sub-themes.

The APrIGF Multi-Stakeholder Steering Group (MSG) is open, inclusive and transparent, because any community member can join the MSG mailing list and contribute to their discussions and planning. I'm now on the MSG and the program committee. I consider myself an active community member because I'm already contributing to the revision of their rules and procedures.

A strategic invention stemmed from APrIGF is the Synthesis Document which takes into consideration all the community inputs. Comments are collected from participants through different methods, a dedicated platform that receive comments, the daily panel after the meeting and from panelist. The synthesized outcome would reflect the current Asia Pacific concerns and updates of the region and it will be shared at the IGF.
