[Asia Pacific Fellows] Asia Pacific Regional Internet Governance Forum 2018 Port Vila Synthesis Document - Draft 0 published
The Asia Pacific Regional Internet Governance Forum 2018 Port Vila Synthesis Document - Draft 0 is now published. Draft 0: https://comment.rigf.asia/ Draft 0 will be open during the entire forum for participants both in-person and remote to input reflections and discussions from all workshops. Join us during the daily Synthesis Document Townhall Session (for time and location, see agenda: http://aprigf.vu/agenda/) to shape this year's document and make your voice heard! Background The APrIGF Synthesis Document was an experiment of the APrIGF 2015 Macau <http://2015.rigf.asia/> , which can be referred back at http://2015.aprigf.asia/synthesis-document/, and its continuation during the 2016 Taipei and 2017 Bangkok meetings https://www.aprigf.asia/events.html. The concept was first raised and discussed at the APrIGF 2014 New Delhi <http://2014.rigf.asia/> Multi-stakeholder Steering Group (MSG) meetings, and further refined over the course of MSG deliberations through the year. The Synthesis Document aims to document items of common interest relevant to internet governance in the Asia Pacific region. In terms of the process of the development of the Synthesis Document, building on the success of the inaugural APrIGF Synthesis Document from the APrIGF 2015 Macao meeting and the increased participation in the consecutive 2016 Taipei document, a webinar prior to the conference was introduced for the 2017 Bangkok process. Now an institution of the APrIGF, the Synthesis Document this year will build upon the overarching theme of "Empowering Communities in Asia Pacific to build an Affordable, Inclusive, Open and Secure Internet". The Synthesis Document aims only to document the input from discussions at the APrIGF and is not intended to be representative of the diverse Asia Pacific region. Nevertheless, it is the hope of the APrIGF MSG that the development of the Synthesis Document can help drive active participation in the movement, as well as to allow for a platform to project voices, views and thoughts in the Asia Pacific region as contributions to relevant global, national, local and international forums on internet governance.
