Dear Listers, As part of the Civil Society Alliances for Digital Empowerment (CADE) <https://cadeproject.org/cade-mission/> project co-funded by the European Union, Expectation State <https://expectationstate.com/> has been commissioned to conduct *a comprehensive mapping and baseline study on civil society organisations engagement in multilateral and multi-stakeholder Internet Governance processes.* CSOs, especially those from the Global South/Global Majority, continue to be under-represented in these essential discussions. This lack of representation and meaningful engagement, hurts civil society's ability to advocate for critical issues such as human rights, accessibility, inclusion, and gender equality in the digital realm. The baseline survey aims to address this issue by identifying and documenting existing, emerging, and cross-cutting issues and gaps in CSO engagement across key Internet Governance (IG) forums. It will delve into the challenges and opportunities CSOs face in these processes, focusing on capacity strengthening needs and on the top policy asks from civil society. The data gathered will be used to develop actionable recommendations and share best practices, with the objective of enhancing CSO participation in IG. *The online survey is estimated to last 15 – 20 minutes.* The completion of the online survey is entirely voluntary. There are no right or wrong answers; you can refuse to answer any question and terminate the survey at any time. The online survey does not collect personally identifiable information (PII) and will not ask personal questions. Your responses will be treated with the utmost confidentiality.
