Let's support Sudha's nomination on NRO/NC Nomination-reg
by Afifa Abbas 13 Aug '19

Hi Team, Let's support Sudha with her nomination. I have known her so far as a dedicated human being who will definitely justify with this role. A brief background on Sudha: I am a doctorate in Computer Science with specialization in networking, I come from a technical background and am an academic. I have been an APNIC fellow and am contributing to the regional discussions related to number resources and involved in the policy discussions. I am involved in carrying out research in the area of addressing, routing and security. Bringing new and diverse voices to the discussion I believe will help not only make the multistakeholder process more inclusive but make decision making more nuanced. I look forward to your suggestion and would be very grateful if you could guide me at this juncture. Regards, Afifa

Fwd: IGF BPF Gender: A short survey to help refine the work programme
by Nadira Alaraj 05 Aug '19

I appreciate your response to the survey, Nadira ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Anriette Esterhuysen <anriette(a)apc.org> Date: Thu, Aug 1, 2019, 21:51 Subject: IGF BPF Gender: A short survey to help refine the work programme Dear colleagues, *Gender and Access Best Practice Forum: A short survey to help refine the work programme for 2019, July 2019* https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/gender-bpf-gender-and-acce… The Internet Governance Forum's Best Practice Forum on Gender and Access need your assistance. Since its launch in 2015, the Best Practice Forum (BPF) on Gender and Access <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/bpf-gender-and-access> <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/bpf-gender-and-access> has focused on different aspects of women’s meaningful access to the Internet: online abuse and gender-based violence (2015); barriers to accessing the Internet (2016); identification of the needs and challenges of diverse women’s groups with respect to Internet access (2017); and the impact of supplementary models of connectivity on women’s Internet access (2018). The BPF session at the 2018 IGF <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/lexicon/8#IGF> <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/lexicon/8#IGF> emphasised the need to consider what happens once women and LGBTIQ people have some form of access to the internet? Does it mean they are automatically able to benefit from this access and that they are able to participate in the digital economy <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/lexicon/8#Digital_Economy> <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/lexicon/8#Digital_Economy> in ways that improves their lives? In this context, in response to input from people and organisations who have been part of this BPF, it was decided that the focus of work in 2019 will be on "after access" concerns, in particular the opportunities and challenges faced by women and LGBTIQ people who want to participate meaningfully in the digital economy. To help us move to the next phase of our work we would really value your response to a short online survey by 12 August. The survey is at https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/gender-bpf-gender-and-acce… Let us know if you have any questions. You can join the Gender and Access Best Practice forum mailing list at https://intgovforum.org/mailman/listinfo/bp_gender_intgovforum.org Thank you for your interest.
