On Tuesday, 2 June 2026, at 13:00-15:00 AST (17:00-19:00 UTC), the Caribbean Telecommunications Union (CTU) will host ‘Caribbean Internet Governance Policy Framework (CIGPF) meeting on Data Governance‘ online.
The Caribbean Internet Governance Policy Framework (CIGPF) is a regional reference document for Internet governance policy. First published in 2009 and now its fourth edition, the CIGPF is a product of the Caribbean Internet Governance Forum (CIGF).
The Global Digital Compact (GDC) and the WSIS+20 review outcome have explicitly elevated data governance to a primary international policy concern, both having direct obligations and opportunities for the Caribbean. Given the need for regulatory and institutional frameworks that may go beyond the ICT sector, the CTU invites all stakeholders to consider:
- Whether data governance can be adequately housed within the CIGPF’s Internet governance mandate
- Whether the CTU should initiate a multistakeholder process for the development of a Caribbean Digital Governance Policy Framework as a companion to the CIGPF.
