DC Coordination Activities

The Dynamic Coalition Coordination Group (DCCG)

The DCCG holds monthly meetings that are open to all. Each DC is invited to volunteer one or two of its members to join and its regular monthly meetings. Any other DC member is also invited to attend. The DCCG also communicates regularly via its mailing list.

The DCCG is guided by  its Terms of Reference.

2021 Coordination Activities

[New] Public survey on Dynamic Coalitions

In 2021, the Dynamic Coalition Coordination Group (DCCG) and the IGF Secretariat are developing a paper to document Dynamic Coalitions (DCs) experiences and explore their role within the IGF ecosystem. As part of this work, we are running a public survey to collect input from the IGF community on how they see DCs and their contributions to IGF processes. 

We invite members of the Multistakeholder Advisory Group and the broader IGF community to respond to this survey by 25 July 2021.

DC Mailing List Guidelines

Following thorough consultations within and among DCs, in October 2017 coalitions agreed to a common set of guidelines for managing their individual mailing lists. In particular, the guidelines identify steps to be taken both for the list administrator and member in cases of questionable mailing list conduct.

DCs 'Briefing Documents'

At the request of the IGF Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG), in April-May 2017, DCs contributed to the drafting of a broad briefing document to inform the MAG - and in particular newcomers to the MAG/IGF - on what DCs are and what the status of their collective work was in 2017. An updated version of this document was submitted in 2018, providing similar updates on their collective, as well as individual work, during the 2018 cycle. The documents are available below. ♦
