Information
This group aims to start the discussion about the four themes that will be debeted in the IGF in Diplo IG debates.
Members: 39
Latest Activity: Feb 2, 2016
The IG Debates will be hold in the IGF by Diplo. The idea is to provoke open discussions on major controversial issues, providing a battleground for conflicting opinions and arguments. Last year in Hyderabad Diplo IG debates were a remarkable success. The participants presented high level arguments and caught the attention of other IGF attendees.
How will it work?
Four statements will be provided and there will be two groups per statement, one for it, and the other against it. They will be able to present their arguments and in the end the audience will vote to approve or reject the motion.
What is the aim of this group?
To coordinate the participation on the debates, exchanging views and arguments about the four issues that will be presented for discussion in the IGF.
Who can participate?
Any person interested in IG. Even if you are not going to be present in the IGF for the live debate, you´ll be able to strenghten the arguments of the group of speakers, by presenting your views "for" or "against" the motions.
Take a stance: argue "in favor" or "against". Test your position in a controversial discussion! Join the IG Debate!

Hello all!
I would like to thank very much all those who have been involved in Diplo IG debates this year, especially our debaters and the group of bright young people that have voted on the motions and raised interesting points for further debate. I would also like to thank Pete and Tim for coordinating social reporting and the youth corner.
We managed to discuss two of the motions, about cloud computing the three strikes regulation. The brief summary of the points raised during the debate is under each motion listed above.
Thanks Pete for sharing your notes about cloud computing, that I take the liberty to mostly reproduce.
If you believe that anything is missing, please feel free to add comments!

Hello Aminou! Great to hear from you!
I would like to invite the group to add their posts to the four motions proposed. What do you think about them?
These are all controversial and timely issues that may affect Internet governance and our daily lives on the forthcoming years!
