Workshop on Internet Governance

The workshop was organised on 12-13 November in collaboration with the Caribbean Telecommunications Union (CTU). Over 20 participants representing government, civil society, business, academia, and international and regional organisations took part. Workshop guest speakers helped make the discussions more relevant to the region and for the participants. Sheba Mohammid, from ISOC Trinidad, talked about ICT policy in the Caribbean and the regional challenges; Shernon Osepa, ICANN regional manager, talked about the IPv4 – IPv6 transition, and related regional aspects; Tracy Hackshaw, from ISOC Trinidad, tackled a regional case study on Trinidad’s ICT strategy, while Rodney Taylor, CTU Business Development Manager, also talked about ICT policy in the Caribbean region. Participants praised the interactivity of the workshop, which was made possible through simulations and negotiation exercises. The two-day workshop was also broadcast on Twitter.
