Can a few like-minded states, IGOs and neutral INGOs join in a new open inter-governmental body to radically increase the privacy and multilateral accountability of sensitive non-classified mobile communications of their elected officials, diplomats and millions of targeted citizens, building in the process the first global democratic digital public sphere?
Following on the trails of the 9th Edition of the Free and Safe in Cyberspace workshop series - held in Geneva last March inside the UN World Summit on the Information Society - the was scheduled in Geneva on May 11th, 2023, to bring together delegates of like-minded states, IGOs and neutral INGOs gathered in Geneva to learn and discuss a new cybersecurity capacity-building, cyber diplomacy, and joint venture initiative that aims to radically increase both the security and accountability of the sensitive non-classified communications of diplomats, parliamentarians, prime ministers, and millions of targeted law-abiding citizens, while enhancing national and international legitimate lawful access: the Trustless Computing Certification Body and Seevik Net Initiative.
As of May 9th, 2023 - in coordination with speakers and participants, and following 3 preparatory meetings of the 10th Edition of the Free and Safe in Cyberspace (FSC10) - the Main and Advanced Workshops of FSC10, originally scheduled for May 11th, 2023, have been postponed and conflated into the 11th Edition of the Free and Safe in Cyberspace, to be held in Geneva and on Zoom next June 7th, 2023.
Why? Due to the sensitive nature of the events and the underlying Initiative, a majority of the five states that had signed up as participants to FSC10, mostly via the Permanent Representative to the UN in Geneva, were not able to run through the needed internal approvals (or "hoops") to sign our FSC10-11 Terms of Participation document, which we require all participants to sign, to protect their confidentiality and that of the process.
Register today, as seats are limited to ensure highly interactive session:
“We cannot strike a balance between personal freedom and public safety in Cyberspace, as in a “zero-sum game”. It’s a “both or neither” challenge whose solution is paramount to protecting and enhancing human freedom, democracy and safety in the Digital and AI Age.”
