Lightning dialogue
1. Focusing on Internet governance issues in the “Global Digital Compact”, discuss the limitations of rigid approaches in digital governance, as well as the necessity and specific implementation methods of flexible regulation. 2. Concentrate on the existing issues in cross-border data flows and their specific causes. 3. Explore the establishment of a trust system in the technology supply chain, and use mechanisms such as the United Nations to create a trustworthy space for international data flows, thereby promoting the free utilization of data among major countries.
1. In order to promote the interaction between the live and online speakers and the attendees, we will introduce the "speed matching" mode, reserve time for one-to-one exchanges between the live audience or online audience and randomly designated speakers; Set up a digital Q&A session to encourage the audience to participate in questions and discussions. 2. In order to ensure the best possible experience for online and on-site participants, we will prepare and distribute discussion outlines, core issues, and relevant cases before the forum, and organize pre-discussion by using social media and other tools; During the forum, mechanisms such as topic interruption, temporary motion, and overtime voting will be introduced to promote the pertinence and depth of forum discussions. In this regard, we will actively prepare materials and tools such as text, video and digital people, and prepare sufficient technical and personnel strength to ensure the smooth convening of the forum and achieve the desired results. 3.Pre-experience optimization. (1)Thoughtfully Pre-conference Preparation. Emailed 3 days in advance contains the following: - Interactive operation manual (graphic + short video) - Network stress test link: simulate real-time Q&A and group discussion to help users troubleshoot in advance. (2) Virtual Icebreaker Game - Participants are encouraged to upload a 30-second short video to introduce themselves (including basic information, region, most concerned issues, etc.), and the AI tool will automatically generate a “common interest map” to match with group discussion partners. 4. Multi-modal participation in the meeting (1) Strictly follow the meeting agenda and provide real-time subtitles; (2) Provide video recording of speeches for areas where real-time participation is not possible; 5.Mixed group discussions:By combining the grouping function of online platforms (such as Zoom Breakout Rooms) with on-site groups, mixed groups are assigned (with both online and offline members participating together), and representatives share their results after discussion.Real-time Q&A and polling: Use tools such as Slido and Mentimeter to synchronize online and offline viewers to submit questions or participate in voting, and the results will be displayed in real-time.
Report
At the Internet Governance Forum 2025, hosted by the United Nations from Monday to Friday in Lillistrom, Norway, domestic and foreign experts have talked about the necessity of a resilient digital trust framework, China’s efforts towards which purpose have received welcome.
In today’s world, digital technologies are reshaping economic and social life at an unprecedented speed and scale. However, alongside the opportunities come growing challenges to digital trust. Emerging technologies are rapidly evolving and becoming deeply integrated. Differences in digital governance philosophies, legal frameworks, and technological capabilities among countries and regions are becoming evident, calling for a resilient digital trust framework. The rapid proliferation of data has also brought unprecedented challenges, including privacy violations, the misuse of personal information and data breach. It is imperative that we establish a robust global data compliance system to address these challenges and ensure that data serves humanity in a responsible and ethical manner.
For decades, the Internet has benefited from open standards and multistakeholder governance. In fact, open Internet standards helped IT augment or replace parts of traditional telecom and now fuels the convergence of IT Information Technology with OT Operational Technology. However, it is important to remember that open standards for Internet were mostly successful at the network layer, which is intended to be application agnostic. Adding that it has proven harder to reach the same level of multistakeholder consensus at the application level, where Internet governance and AI governance may take different paths.
China has undertaken extensive efforts and explorations in advancing the development of a resilient digital trust framework, listing examples that It has been continuously improving its policy and regulatory system for digital governance, while also placing emphasis on maintaining policy flexibility.
