After Abuja, I think it's a great opportunity to find ourselves together
again.
This is an important session and I'll be there

> The DC-PAL meeting at the 2014 IGF will concentrate on the intersection of
> public access to ICTs and development. Building on feedback from workshops
> held at the African and LAC IGFs, and the WSIS+10 HLE, as well as
> experiences gained at the meetings of the Open Working Group on Sustainable
> Development Goals in New York during 2014, the meeting will look at the
> prospects for ICTs within the post-2015 framework, and the way that the
> framework could create new realities for Internet Governance. The meeting
> will also review two new policy briefs on public access launched by
> coalition members during 2014, discuss the importance of public access for
> women and girls, and assess the progress of the Beyond Access and Global
> Libraries projects funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
>
>
>
> While there will be a number of short presentations to help set the scene,
> the DC-PAL is intended to be more of a discussion than a business meeting,
> and participants are encouraged to come prepared to share how they are
> working with public access in their countries. Panellists will bring their
> viewpoints and discuss how their organisations intend to engage during 2015
> to ensure that public access to ICTs stays on the agenda at national and
> international levels.
