One of the most valuable parts of the #IGF is the opportunity to meet with the community and stakeholders to discuss future plans for the Internet. There is much more to come this week—let's keep the conversations going!

>>> The 20th annual Internet Governance Forum 2025 is an hybrid event (on site & online).
Organised by UN Secretary-General, 22 - 26 June, it will be hosted under the overarching theme Building Digital Governance Together around four sub-themes:
- Digital Trust and Resilience
- Sustainable and Responsible Innovation
- Universal Access and Digital Rights
- Digital Cooperation
#RIPE90: That’s a wrap!
Five days of tech talks, policy debates, community catchups—and maybe one too many pastel de nata.
From rewilding the Internet to stories of resilience and DIY ISPs, RIPE 90 was a vibrant reminder that the RIPE community is built on connection, collaboration, and a shared belief in an open, resilient Internet.
Thanks to .PT, our speakers, and everyone who joined. Recordings are on YouTube. See you at RIPE 91!

Interesting article about #InternetGovernance https://labs.ripe.net/author/hisham_ibrahim/why-effective-digital-governance-begins-with-understanding-the-internet-itself/
It explains very well the difference between the infrastructure (the Internet) and the services (Tiktok, Instagram, etc). Many politicians still don't get it and want to mess with the infrastructure for their political goals. Understanding the Internet is necessary if you want to have a sound policy.
