The Year of the Christchurch Call \u2014 a Prime Minister at the National IGF<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Opening speech by InternetNZ CEO Jordan Carter; keynote by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>InternetNZ explicitly framed the theme around the Christchurch Call, after the 15 March mosque attacks and the livestreamed footage that spread online [1]<\/li>\n<li>CEO Jordan Carter&#39;s opening speech invoked the Call and urged participants into &#39;hard but important conversations&#39; to shape the Internet New Zealand needs [1]<\/li>\n<li>PM Ardern&#39;s keynote put the government leading the global framework on terrorist and violent extremist content face-to-face with its own Internet community [1]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>2. Openness and Free Expression \u2014 Jillian York Returns<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Keynote by Jillian York of the EFF<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Returning after 2017, York challenged assumptions about what online openness really means, arguing openness is not incompatible with freedom of expression [1]<\/li>\n<li>Placing a civil-liberties keynote amid rising takedown pressure showed NetHui&#39;s determination to keep the safety debate balanced [1]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3. Data and Privacy in Small Communities \u2014 M\u0101ori and Pasifika Perspectives<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Breakouts on data &amp; privacy in small communities and technology &amp; M\u0101ori community wellbeing<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sessions asked how data use can clash with small communities&#39; cultures, traditions, ethics, beliefs and environment, exploring data aligned with mental health, child wellbeing and M\u0101ori and Pasifika aspirations [2]<\/li>\n<li>A disconnect between technological advance and community leadership was called out across health, education and transport [2]<\/li>\n<li>PICISOC board members attended from the Pacific, reporting the issues &#39;resonated with island experiences&#39;; Vanuatu&#39;s IGF coordinator was also in the room [2]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>4. The Rural Connectivity Gap \u2014 Life Outside UFB and RBI<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Breakout session on rural access<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Even with the government&#39;s UFB and RBI programmes, rural and remote areas remain under-served, participants reported [2][1]<\/li>\n<li>Wireless ISPs (WISPs) carry much of the rural load but face funding and licensing hurdles [2][1]<\/li>\n<li>For the first time, action-planning sessions closed both days, with each discussion group sharing the next actions it needed [2][1]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Three-Minute Short Talk \u2014 Your Questions Answered<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Q. Is a prime minister at a national IGF normal?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Highly unusual. Months after leading the Christchurch Call against violent extremist content online, Jacinda Ardern faced her own Internet community directly at its national forum.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. What was the core tension?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Takedown pressure versus the open Internet. The EFF&#39;s Jillian York argued openness is not incompatible with free expression, deliberately balancing the safety-first mood.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Why should I care?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Every Christchurch Call supporter nation faces the same balance, and the sessions on data sovereignty for small and indigenous communities remain a reference point for that debate anywhere.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is New Zealand IGF?
