Cyber Events Calendar

As cybersecurity becomes a critical policy issue in the digital age, there is a growing need for human rights defenders to engage in relevant policy processes. However, the policy landscape is complex and difficult to navigate.

This calendar seeks to address this by mapping the key events and processes which shape the global cybersecurity policy landscape, and highlighting those that matter most for human rights defenders.

The calendar covers events across the global cybersecurity policy space, which we’ve organised into the following four categories:

• UN and subsidiary bodies: as well as mainstream UN events (like General Assembly meetings), this category also includes the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), the Internet Governance Forum (IGF), and the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS).
• Governmental and intergovernmental processes: this includes processes at the national, regional, and global level.
• Technical and standards-setting bodies: for example, The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
• Other processes.

We welcome relevant input related to events, spaces or processes. To propose additions or amendments to the mapping for consideration, please contact us.
