VII IGF-UA unofficial report

VII Ukrainian Internet Governance Forum took place in Kyiv on October 14
2016. This event was co-organized by

Ukrainian Internet Association, Commission for Science and IT, Ukrainian
League of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, Joint European Union — Council
of Europe project “Media Freedom in Ukraine”, Internet Corporation for
Assigned Names and Numbers, RIPE Network Coordination Centre, ISOC
(Internet Society), Internet Governance Forum Supporting Association, iNGO
European Media Platform, National Commission for the State Regulation of
Communications and Informatization, with the support of Ministry of
information policy of Ukraine and Institute of modernization of education
(Ukrainian Ministry of Education and science). As a partner we had
Artzinger law firm.

This one-day event was attended by more than 136 participants on site and
had some dozens viewers. For the first time we had at least one active
remote participant with very good question (regarding the model of
decision-making in cybersecurity).

Detailed information regarding representation of different stakeholders and
different countries will be provided soon.

VII IGF-UA was organized in new format: it means that no one VIP could be
labeled as “co-organizer” just by delivering welcoming speech and without
active participation in live discussion. That is why we had only one
co-organizer from governmental bodies - National Commission for the State
Regulation of Communications and Informatization – member of which, Sergiy
Dzyuba, played extremely active role in preparation and carrying of VII
IGF-UA. Ministry of information policy of Ukraine and Institute of
modernization of education (Ukrainian Ministry of Education and science)
was titled as “with the support”, because this institution was not
represented at the highest level, but a lot of middle-level representatives
contributed a lot to the success of our event. Unfortunately, some other
very important governmental institutions could not accept new format of
IGF-UA and ignored it at all.

In total we had opening ceremony (which went on only for 7-10 minutes and
during which all co-organizers delivered their welcoming words), one
opening plenary, during which Michael Yakushev, ICANN VP, delivered his
report “ Review of Internet Governance on global level and near-term
prospects” (actually, it was the only one report during our VII IGF-UA),
one closing plenary with summaries from moderators of all workshops:

- THE ROLE OF GOVERNMENT IN INTERNET GOVERNANCE;

- CYBERSECURITY;

- RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS ON-LINE;

- INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS PROTECTION (IPR);

- DIGITAL ERA OF EDUCATION;

- ROUND TABLE ON DOMAIN ISSUES.

Summaries of all these workshops will be included in official report.

Besides, we had two side-events: Open lecture of Michael Yakushev on ICANN
educational programms for youth engagement and Stakeholders’ Lunch.
