The National Democratic Institute (NDI's) Democracy and Technology team is pleased to invite you to join us at 10:00 EDT on May 25, 2022 for a panel discussion marking the launch of our new white paper on building democratic norms and standards for the global internet.

Influencing the Internet: Democratizing the Politics that Shape Internet Governance Norms and Standards explores barriers for organizations and individuals from the Global South to meaningfully participate in the development of internet norms, policies, and standards. In it, NDI outlines recommendations for donors, development agencies, governments, activists, civil society organizations, internet governance institutions, and the private sector to improve coordination and make meaningful progress towards more inclusive processes.

Panelists:

Stephanie Perrin, Advisor, Electronic Privacy Information Center

Richard Hill, President, Association for Proper Internet Governance

Tomslin Samme-Nlar, Vice Chair, Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council, Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)
