What is Caribbean Internet Governance Forum?

The Caribbean Internet Governance Forum (CIGF) is a multi-stakeholder grouping initially convened by the Caribbean Telecommunications Union (CTU) and the CARICOM Secretariat in 2005 to bring together Caribbean views on the issues that were being addressed at the World Summit on Information Society (WSIS). The CIGF has since been convened annually by the CTU with the intention of studying and offering recommendations on technical, content, policy, cyber security, privacy and other matters related to the Internet. The CIGF was the first regional forum of its kind worldwide and it continues to evolve with the Internet.

The CIGF has had 16 sessions from its inception to 2020 and has produced and maintained a policy framework document based on the outputs of those sessions and inter-sessional online discussions.
