Dear Colleagues,

 

This is to update you on the status of the IGF 2023 Youth Track.

 

As you know, the first open planning meeting took place in January. The Youth IGF coordinators and other participants agreed that the track will follow the last year’s structure. The overall umbrella topic relates to cybersecurity and trust with a motto ‘Safe Digital Future’.

It is expected that four capacity development workshops will take place in a leadup to the IGF 2023 Global Youth Summit hosted on 8 October in Kyoto.

 

The Secretariat is in a process of confirming the delegated focal point from Youth IGFs (independent ones as well as those integrated in other NRIs) as well as participation from international youth-focused organizations.

 

All members of the organizing team are contacted already to understand their formal engagement in this year. As confirmations are received, the profiles are added to the IGF 2023 Youth Track page https://www.intgovforum.org/en/content/igf-youth-track.

 

Please do let us know if your multistakeholder organizing teams would like to delegate a focal point to participate in the organizing team.
