Hi everyone,

Yesterday, Caleb Ogundele and I organised and participated in a session 
at the recently-concluded Digital Rights Inclusion Forum 2019 here in 
Lagos, Nigeria called "*I**nternet Governance: Multi-stakeholderism and 
Participation in the Assigned Names and Numbers Space.*"

    and AFRALO) – Moderator

_(__Seun Ojedeji <https://icannwiki.org/Seun_Ojedeji>_of ALAC, AFRALO 
and ASO was meant to have joined us, but was unavoidably absent due to 
work obligations.)

Our session explained who ICANN is, their role in ensuring the 
interoperability and coordinating key technical and policy aspects of 
the underlying core infrastructure and the domain name system. Our 
discussion included explanations of the multistakeholder model, the 
ICANN structure, PDPs, GDPR and EPDPs and ways to contribute to and join 
ICANN,.

All in all, I hope and believewe had an engaging and interesting 
discussion, sharing what we do at ICANN. You can watch the *video 
recording *here: https://youtu.be/v_Pzfd6v4Sk

I will be putting together a short report about the session over the 
next week and will be sure to share it with you all.

Best regards,

Ore
