IGF 2020 Parliamentary Roundtable

Building trust in a time of COVID-19 response and post-COVID-19 recovery‎


 

 

    Parliamentarians are among various important stakeholder groups that participate at the ‎annual ‎meeting of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF), in policy dialogue on data, inclusion, security ‎and ‎other areas related to Internet governance. In November 2019, at the 14th meeting of IGF, the ‎first-‎ever parliamentary session was convened as part of the main programme, and a key outcome ‎was ‎delivered as “The Jimmy Schulz Call: Messages from the parliamentarians”‎

    The IGF 2020 will also feature a Parliamentary Roundtable high-level session to support continuity and linkages between the annual meetings of IGF ‎‎with other global, regional and national legislative bodies. ‎The Parliamentary Roundtable is scheduled on 10 November 2020 at 17:00-‎‎18:30 hrs UTC. The interactive discussion between members of parliaments from all parts of the world, will focus on ways of building trust in the COVID-19 time and how people can recover from it.
