SUMMARY:7th Geneva Engage Awards – What is Geneva’s digital footprint?
DESCRIPTION:The annual Geneva Engage Awards recognise International Geneva actors in their social media outreach and online engagement. Geneva Engage examines Geneva’s global footprint by looking at social media engagement of Geneva-based organisations\, and Geneva’s web relevance and online meetings. \nUltimately\, Geneva Engage examines the links between International Geneva and communities from around the world that are affected by the policies discussed and negotiated in Geneva in areas such as development\, human rights\, and digital issues. \nThe three categories of the Geneva Engage Awards are: \n\nInternational Organisations\nNon-Governmental Organisations and Associations\nPermanent Representations to the UN in Geneva\n\nThe 2022 Geneva Engage award for Non-Governmental Organisations and Associations will be dedicated to the memory of internet pioneer Ian Peter (1948–2021). This is particularly relevant and important in recognition of Ian’s lifelong commitment to civil society engagement in use of the internet for communication in support of marginalised and vulnerable groups. For more information about Ian\, see: \nIn Memoriam: Ian Peter (9/6/1948 – 26/12/2021) \nIn memory of Ian Peter\, internet pioneer and visionary thinker… \nFarewell to visionary\, Ian Peter \nIan Peter’s weblog \nIn 2020\, a new award was introduced for online meetings. \nJoin us on Tuesday\, 1st February 2022\, 7 am –8:30 am (12:00–13:30 UTC). \nFor more information\, visit the dedicated page.

SUMMARY:Digital Technologies and the Environment: a Synergy for the Future
DESCRIPTION:Digital technologies can amplify efforts to mitigate climate change and\, as such\, are becoming part of environmental and digital policies on the national and international levels. Most global policies from international bodies\, the European Union (EU)\, the US\, and Germany substantially reflect on the issues related to the nexus of environmental and digital developments. In this discussion\, we will look into current developments in the relevant fora\, such as the US-EU Trade and Technology Council\, and consider the possibilities to deepen cooperation and understanding between the US\, the EU\, and Germany on issues related to environment and digital developments. \nDiplo US and the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung USA\, Washington\, DC office\, commissioned a report mapping the interactions between digital developments and the environment. The report looks into existing policies and avenues of cooperation between the US\, EU and Germany. The report explores the topics of greenhouse gas emissions\, rare earths\, and e-waste. It will be available for download\, free of charge\, at the event. \nRegister to reserve your virtual seat at the event on Thursday\, 17th February\, at 09 am EST. The event will be 45 minutes long. \nRegistrations are open \nRegister×

SUMMARY:International digital standards: Stepping up the engagement of stakeholders from the ARIN region
DESCRIPTION:Event date: 22 February 2022\, 10:00–11:00 EST\, online \nThis event is addressed to stakeholders in the ARIN service region (national and regional standard development organisations\, governmental entities\, industry\, the technical community\, academia\, and civil society groups with an interest in digital standards.) \nRegistrations are open \nRegister×\nStandards for digital technologies are all around us\, enabling devices to interact with each other\, allowing us to connect to mobile networks\, and facilitating the exchange of information. They are developed at the national\, regional\, and international levels\, typically through consensus-driven processes where different actors – manufacturers\, sellers\, trade associations\, governmental entities\, etc. – contribute their views and promote their interests.  \nGiven the global nature of the digital economy\, international standards – set within organisations such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)\, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU)\, and the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) – are of particular importance. Although participation in such organisations is generally open to anyone interested\, stakeholders from large and developed countries usually prevail in this ecosystem. This standardisation gap – the imbalance in participation in international standardisation processes\, in particular between developed and developing countries – is visible across the region serviced by the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN): While stakeholders from the USA and Canada are very active in standardisation processes (even if with differing levels of engagement over the years\, from one organisation to another)\, there is very little (if any) participation from other countries in the region. \nOur event is intended to help raise awareness about digital standards among stakeholders in small\, developing countries in the ARIN service region. It will feature:  \n\nan overview of international digital standards\, their relevance and implications (technical\, economic\, social\, etc.)\, and where they are developed \ninsights into the extent to which stakeholders from ARIN countries participate in several key international standards development organisations \na discussion on why and how to contribute to international standardisation processes \na close look at the upcoming ITU World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (to take place in March 2022)\, what to expect\, and what to pay attention to \n\nThe paper International digital standards: A case for the involvement of stakeholders in the ARIN region (in English and Spanish) will be launched during the event. \n*** \nThis event is part of the Raising awareness on digital standards for ARIN region countries project funded by ARIN through its Community Grant Program and run by Diplo US. The project includes research\, training\, and awareness-building components dedicated to promoting a better understanding of the importance of international digital standards across the ARIN region\, focusing on developing countries. \n\nRegister
