> It´s indeed a great opportunity for IFLA to participate at the next

> governance forum (IGF2015) and try to bring more the attention of the
> importance of widening Access to Information conversations, considering
> that
> the Internet is a major player for it.
>
> Bring people to know that Access to Information is more than an
> infrastructure problem. There´s much more to work, agree, recommend to
> national policy makers about getting advantage of the infrastructure, which
> means, making available pertinent information, contents, information
> services that may help communities to drive their own development.
>
> We need more countries aware of the importance of the information their
> institutions produce and more articulating actions that make it easy for
> people to access it without -not finding it by google- or trying to see in
> which web page the information might be found.
>
> What IFLA and Beyond Access have already achieved in terms of Access to
> Information with the Lyon Declaration and the participation at the SDG´s
> process is a major success!. The information laws that are being issued in
> many countries are also remarkable issues.
>
> I would say we need to go deeper in terms of:
> •       Promoting the establishment of national policies/strategies to make
> available and easier for people to have real access to the information they
> need.
> •       Promoting local content development.
> •       Promoting libraries as ideal places for enabling the communities to
> facilitate information access and local content development.
>
> Hope this helps,

> Dear members of the PAL-DC mailing list

> At this year?s main IGF in Brazil there will be an opportunity for the
> Dynamic Coalitions to showcase their work in the form of a main session.
> Priority will be given to Dynamic Coalitions who have inter-sessional work
> to present for feedback. IFLA and EIFL are of the opinion that this is a
> good time for us to work together as a community on something concrete
> around public access, perhaps a set of guidelines or principles that can be
> shared with the rest of the IGF community to make them more aware of the
> continuing value of public access to ICTs.
>
> We all know that we have a lot of material around public access already. So
> perhaps this exercise is more about identifying an appropriate format for
> our product (other coalitions have done guidelines, or principles), pulling
> together existing materials, and then drafting something off the back of
> this exercise. IFLA and EIFL are willing to get this exercise underway, and
> then to share out with the whole PAL-DC community for input.
>
> As a parallel track, but also a contribution exercise, we would be
> interesting to know what you think are the unresolved issues in public
> access i.e. what concrete actions would you like to see taken by actors in
> the public access space to make things better for users accessing the
> internet through libraries? We can build your responses into the draft of
> the product, and then share back with the mailing list for further input.
> The document could then be taken in a more advanced draft for to the IGF in
> Brazil for discussion in the Pal-DC session, and showcased in the main
> session for all DCs.
>
> What do you think? Could you find some time by the end of July to share
> your
> thoughts with the list? My colleague, Christina de Castell, who is the new
> Manager of Policy and Advocacy at IFLA, will be the main point of contact
> for this exercise, and will be responding to questions and keeping things
> moving.

> Looking forward to hearing from you all. As a separate question, please
> could you also indicate in your responses if you are planning to attend the
