Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,

im kommenden Jahr übernimmt Deutschland die Präsidentschaft der G20, was
ein Großereignis mit zahlreichen Konferenzen sein wird. Es soll auch
eine so genannte "Multistakeholder-Konferenz" im April in Düsseldorf geben.

Unter dem Stichwort C20 (c für civiel society) gibt es einen
entsprechenden Prozess, der die Interesen und Ziele
zivilgesellschaftlicher Gruppen dort einbringen soll
(http://civil-20.org/about-c20/).

Noch bis morgen sind zivilgesellschaftliche Gruppen aufgefordert, sich
über eine Online-Befragung dazu zu äußern, welche Schwerpukte gesetzt
werden sollten.

Bisher sind unter den Themenschwerpunkten weder Digital- noch
Medienpolitik bzw. -entwicklungszusammenarbeit. Ich würde Euch
ermutigen, das zu ändern (hier: http://civil-20.org/consultation/).

Das Passwort für die Umfrage ist C20Consultation

Grüße
Matthias

Dear all,

Feel free to forward this message!

- Short: Civil society groups working in digital rights could get
      excluded from the G20 negotiations on digitalistion. To prevent
      this, please take part in their 'civil society consultation',
      and raise the importance of having the G20 discussing your
      expertise digital issues:

http://civil-20.org/consultation/ <http://civil-20.org/consultation/>

Password:: C20Consultation
Deadline:  tomorrow Wednesday 14th

- Long: The G20 presidency announced their plan to focus on digital,
        and the OECD launched a dialogue to foster their digitalisation
        project in that context. CSISAC was invited to take part in the
        OECD-G20 dialogue, and we will be taking that opportunity to
        foster the Civil Society Goals there.

        In addition, the G20 has a 'civil society process' called 'C20'
        which runs in parallel with the labor unions ('L20'), the
        business ('B20') and others. The only information we have about
        the governance of the C20 is their webpage (link above). In
        order to shape the topics of the C20 process, they have launched
        that consultation; surprisingly, no reference is made to any
        digital issue. That is concerning: if the C20 excludes anything
        related with digitalisation, CSISAC and the digital rights
        groups could be factually excluded from a G20 process where
        digitalisation is planned to be a focus issue. A risk exists
        that no civil society groups at all take part in the G20
        process to share their expertise about the digital issues.

        As the topics of the C20 are to be decided based on that online
        consultation, the most inmediate step at this point is to take
        part and raise the importance of the digital issues: privacy,
        internet governance, security, IoT, multi-stakholderism,
        universal access, affordability, community networks, robotics,
        job displacement, consumer protection... all the issues that
        should be on the G20 table. Consultation link and passwd above.

Just please feel free to directly let me know about any doubt or
information that you could have.

Best,
