Dear everyone,
I am very happy to see/read this conversation and feel also privileged.
As many other I think that SEEDIG is a great opportunity to introduce
Internet Governance in our region to a larger and divers audience. A
critical mass is essential to have a serious debate and to make decision
makers aware of the importance of issues and themes.
I believe that we need to use the window of opportunity and positive
energy that Sofia had created thanks to the efforts of many of you and
have the SEEDIG as event in the region, we can call or think of it as a
standalone or a pre-event what is really important is to maximize
participation. In this regard, Belgrade is a great option and a very
accessible location.
On the connection between EuroDIG and SEEDIG I think it's a very natural
one and will be easy to report back, link and connect in Brussels.
I think is important to acknowledge the diversity existing in Europe in
terms of innovation, digital and gender divide and Internet Governance.
It is essential to name the many trends, speeds and challenges,
reflecting on them from our different perspectives. I am sure it will
enrich every one and will bring more input to a conversation that is
extremely relevant and common to us all.
best, hvale

> Such an approach would have several advantages, among which:
>

>
> 2. SEEDIG and EuroDIG remain interlinked, thus responding to the

>
>
> III.3. Challenges
> There are, of course, a number of challenges that would need to be

>
