War in Ukraine \u2014 Internet Governance in Wartime<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Main sessions and YOUthDIG segments<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&quot;Act now, support Ukraine, and support Internet governance!&quot;<br \/>\n\u2014 <strong>Kateryna Bovsunovska (YOUthDIG participant, Ukraine)<\/strong> [4][5]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>Participants confronted how to keep Internet services running for Ukrainians since the invasion, and the roles every stakeholder group must play [4][5]<\/li>\n<li>The Messages from Trieste stated that preventing Internet fragmentation requires globally compatible regulations, even under sanctions pressure [4][5]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>2. Digital Sovereignty \u2014 Is Europe Heading the Right Way?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Focus Area 1 &#39;Digital sovereignty \u2013 is Europe going in the right direction to keep the Internet safe and open?&#39;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Francesca Bria (Italian National Innovation Fund) framed Europe&#39;s path as a middle road between Silicon Valley&#39;s big-tech model and China&#39;s state-centric model [4][5]<\/li>\n<li>Messages noted regulation has &#39;brought more clarity to the economic market, thus fostering the growth of businesses and small and medium-sized enterprises&#39;, while insisting digital sovereignty must enhance connectivity and keep individual rights central rather than isolate Europe [4][5]<\/li>\n<li>Careful human rights impact assessments for new technologies were urged [4][5]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3. Rethinking the Multistakeholder Model \u2014 Born of Political Compromise<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Main sessions and workshops on the governance model<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wolfgang Kleinw\u00e4chter noted the multistakeholder approach arose as a political compromise between nation states and relies on powerful actors willingly sharing influence [4][5]<\/li>\n<li>Richard Hill provocatively argued the IETF is not truly multistakeholder, being open to individuals rather than stakeholder-group representatives [4][5]<\/li>\n<li>The Messages recorded that multistakeholder approaches favour resilience despite geopolitical strain \u2014 and that youth remain underrepresented [4][5]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>4. Implementing Regulation and Standards \u2014 A Post-DSA\/DMA Reality Check<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Focus Area 2 &#39;Reality check \u2013 do we implement effective regulations and set the right standards?&#39;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#39;Dialogue and understanding of the need for standards are crucial&#39; (Messages from Trieste) \u2014 the debate shifted from writing rules to making them work [5][3]<\/li>\n<li>The green and digital transitions differ, and common methodologies to measure environmental impact are needed [5][3]<\/li>\n<li>Cybercrime treaties, participants noted, require flexibility for different national legal systems [5][3]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>5. Encryption and Digital Identity \u2014 Flashpoints in Governing New Tech<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Focus Area 3 &#39;Coming next \u2013 outlook on new technologies&#39; and related workshops<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The technical community&#39;s warning that the EU&#39;s proposed CSAM regulation is incompatible with end-to-end encryption became a major flashpoint [4][5]<\/li>\n<li>Switzerland&#39;s referendum rejecting a government digital-ID scheme (about 65% opposed) was contrasted with the EU digital wallet; digital identity, the meeting concluded, must prioritise human rights and global interoperability [4][5]<\/li>\n<li>The Messages also called for open standards and protocols for space-based communications [4][5]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Three-Minute Short Talk \u2014 Your Questions Answered<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Q. So what did the conference actually decide?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. EuroDIG doesn&#39;t &#39;decide&#39; \u2014 it&#39;s Europe&#39;s regional IGF for open dialogue. The outcome document, the Messages from Trieste, went on to the global IGF. The headline: even in wartime, Europe&#39;s Internet community committed to preventing fragmentation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. What was the most contentious topic?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Two clashes: how sanctions over Ukraine square with keeping the Internet whole, and the EU&#39;s child-protection (CSAM) proposal versus end-to-end encryption \u2014 a fight between two things everyone wants to protect.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Why should I care?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Keeping regulations compatible to avoid a splintered Internet is now a global agenda item, and Switzerland&#39;s rejected digital-ID scheme holds lessons for every country building one.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is EuroDIG?
