![]() ![]() ![]() I would strongly encourage you that when you introduce yourselves, please just say who you are, which organisation you represent, and then what will, the agenda for the day is something like this. It is not an area to kind of highlight our individual work. I would expect that this session is not really presenting what we are doing individually, because that we know very well what each individual members are doing through the individual communications we have. We have continued to engage in decision-making and lobbying the policymakers throughout the last five years, and that is I think a big achievement for the whole group. That is a big thing for us, I think, that we have assembled together. ![]() But since 2007, because of these Dynamic Coalition, we have seen large number of participation from child rights agencies and relevant stakeholders including law enforcement, including IT companies, private sector, telecommunication companies, civil society, and we have kept the momentum going until now. I think John was the only one who was present there in Athens. One distinct element of these Forum is definitely the members themselves, because if you can remember some of us who were there in 2007, we know the IGF started in 2006. This is to identify things over the Dynamic Coalition members, if you permit me to give a little bit of history how we started, and what is the difference between this session and all the other workshops related to child protection that is being convened at the IGF. This is not like we are presenting to an external audience. I would like to start because, you know, this is our own session. Thanks very much for coming in, and we have some distinct experts and panelists who will be speaking in various other workshops throughout the event. We have people from the private sector, Microsoft at the back, and welcome to you too. We have equal participation from all the members here. And we are the chair of the coalition of childhood online safety at IGF. And we hope we can adapt similarly here.Īnyways, for people who, I think there are a few people here which we haven't met before. I think there will be a bit of change in the plan, but that is how we work, right? Change of Internet policies and change of different things around us, we have to adapt. My idea was, we would get things started with the presentation, and then get into the thick of things with discussion between the members, as we had done earlier in the previous IGFs. We will try to see how we can accommodate her during the session. There are a few more people we are expecting to come in, but, and one of the speakers, we had one formal presentation for the day, and she is stuck in the traffic for the last 45 minutes. So thanks for your patience and bearing with us. We apologize, because yesterday we were hoping to start today at 9:30, but somehow the schedule got changed. Thank you again for coming in early, and sorry for the delay. Welcome and a very good morning to all of you, all friends, colleagues and faces that we haven't met before. We are going to start in maybe another 15 to 20 minutes, and the organisers have promised us we can go beyond our scheduled 10:30 timing, so maybe close to 11:00, just to compensate the delay. So we should not go beyond that, hopefully. Hopefully, we will see more people coming in around 9:15, 9:20. It looks like we are going to start a bit late. And we just realized with the later schedule, that it's scheduled at 9:00 this morning. ![]() Yesterday, we had informed our members that the meeting will be at 9:30 instead of 9:00.
