Some of you might know him from previous IGF's and sessions he organized and moderated. <br></div><div><br></div><div>I have no personal involvement nor stake in the IGF's new Dynamic Coalition and related survey that are referred to, but I think they are definitely worthwhile considering and could benefit from internet end user input and experience, especially from different regions. If you think it is of interest, feel free to share this within your own constituencies.<br></div><div><br></div><div>If you have any questions and/or remarks, please reach out to Wout directly via <a href="mailto:denatrisconsult@hotmail.nl">denatrisconsult@hotmail.nl</a> .</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks, and take care</div><div>Bastiaan</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">---------- Forwarded message ---------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername" dir="auto">Wout de Natris</b> <span dir="auto"><<a href="mailto:denatrisconsult@hotmail.nl">denatrisconsult@hotmail.nl</a>></span><br>Date: Mon, Sep 21, 2020 at 11:31 AM<br>Subject: Invitation to IGF survey and workshop on Internet standards deployment<br>To: Bastiaan Goslings <<a href="mailto:b.goslings@gmail.com">b.goslings@gmail.com</a>><br></div><br><div dir="ltr"><div><div style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">

<span style="font-size:12.0pt" lang="EN-GB">Dear reader,<u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;line-height:115%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";margin-top:12.0pt;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:0cm">
<span style="font-size:12.0pt" lang="EN-GB">The deployment of Internet security-related standards and ICT best practices is a topic that continues to be the subject of important discussion worldwide with the aim of achieving a more
secure and safer online environment that is necessary to support the rapid adoption of new digital technologies. This has been made even more urgent by the COVID-19 pandemic.<u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;line-height:115%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";margin-top:12.0pt;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:0cm">
<span style="font-size:12.0pt" lang="EN-GB">I am sure you would agree that it is time to move on from what has been largely an uncoordinated and technical debate spread across various fora, and initiate global stakeholder cooperation
that will have a positive impact on economic and social well-being through helping digital technologies to transform everybody’s daily lives. As you may know, the UN Internet Governance Forum is establishing a new Dynamic Coalition on Internet Standards, Security
and Safety (DC-ISSS) with the aim of achieving this objective and I am now writing as the leader of this initiative to invite you as a leading expert to join this important multi-stakeholder coalition.

<span style="font-size:12.0pt" lang="EN-GB">The intended outcomes of the DC-ISSS will be recommendations for actions by key policymakers and decision-takers that will enable security-related Internet standards and best practices to
be deployed more rapidly and with greater determination and commitment. By involving stakeholders like yourself we believe that we can at last make a difference in making deployment more effective and widespread. It has to stop to be a, primarily, technical
debate, to be changed into a digital healthcare topic.<u></u> <u></u></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt" lang="EN-GB">As a first step, the coalition needs to prioritise its work and finalise its work plan. A preparatory session for this purpose will be held during the upcoming IGF 2020 on Wednesday 4 November
at 09.40 – 11.10 CET. A short questionnaire has been drawn up to help with this process. It would be appreciated very much if in addition to considering the invitation to join the coalition, you could complete this questionnaire which can be accessed at:
