informal and inclusive discussion and exchange on public policy issues related to Internet Governance (IG) between stakeholders from all over Europe - will hold its Conference in 2010 in Madrid, Spain on April 29 - 30th. EuroDIG was created in 2008 by a number of key stakeholders representing civil society, the business sector, the technical and academic community as well as European governments, institutions and organizations including the EU-presidency, the European Commission, the European Parliament, the Council of Europe and the European Broadcasting Union.
The purpose of EuroDIG is twofold: first to help European stakeholders to exchange their views and best practices on the issues to be discussed at global IGF meetings and to identify common ground which is shared by all European stakeholders as well as highlighting the diversity of experience of the different European stakeholders; second to raise awareness in Europe and among European stakeholders about the relevance of the issues discussed in the IGF context and also to raise awareness of the value of the new multi-stakeholder discussion format developed by and around the IGF.
With the purpose to include IG stakeholders from Bosnia and Herzegovina into the European IG discussions, a Video Conference in Sarajevo that will follow the EuroDIG 2010 Conference in Madrid will be organized at the Council of Europe Sarajevo Office premises. This Video Conference should also serve as source of information on newest developments related to IG issues in Europe, meeting ground and networking event for IG stakeholders from Bosnia and Herzegovina, and initiate discussion of in-country IG issues and formation of a national IG community. In addition to following the discussions in Madrid, time will be allotted for B&H participants to discuss IG issues between themselves.
