VIDEO – May 14 – DC-CIV – From Talk to Action: Safeguarding Core Internet Values in Today’s Digital Governance ‘

May 14, 2025 by ISOC Live

May 14 2025 – the IGF Dynamic Coalition on Core Internet Values (DC-CIV) held a flash session ‘From Talk to Action: Safeguarding Core Internet Values in Today’s Digital Governance ‘ at the 2025 Pan-European dialogue on Internet governance (EuroDIG) at the Palais de l’Europe in Strasbourg France.

The Internet Governance Forum has been, in the past, often given the sobriquet of “a talk shop”. During the WSIS+10 Review, the APC performed an analysis of concrete decisions or actions that have been taken as a result of engagement at national, regional and global Internet Governance Forum. Since the WSIS+10 recommended that more “Concrete Outcomes” were needed from the IGF, a number of processes including the publication of formal messages from each IGF as well as the IGF High Level Panel were implemented. Today, many examples abound where the dialogue started at IGF and ended up with concrete outcomes including discussions that moved to specialised fora and agencies. Linking workshops and the IGF Processes to SDGs was also a significant step into making sure the IGF discussions led to advances in the world’s sustainable development.

This session looked at the specific case of Core Internet Values. From its first workshop in Sharm el Sheikh 2009 (Workshop on Fundamentals: Core Internet Values) until today, the DC-CIV has been refining the list of Core Internet Values and this, along with work undertaken by other organizations, has led to the widespread comprehension that there are indeed some Internet fundamentals which make the Internet what it is and what it will continue to be. But what and how can more be done?
