Dear colleagues and members For those interested in following the preparations for the global IGF 2026, the first Open Consultations and MAG Meeting are currently taking place. The global IGF will be held in Nairobi, Kenya, from 14–18 December 2026. The agenda for the three-day Open Consultations and MAG Meeting is available here: https://intgovforum.org/en/content/igf-2026-first-open-consultations-and-mag... During the opening session, the UN DESA Under-Secretary-General, Mr. Li Junhua, suggested sovereignty, trust, and an open Internet as possible themes to help frame discussions for IGF 2026. His presentation is available here: https://www.intgovforum.org/en/filedepot_download/342/31315 Given the Cooperation WG's interest in Internet governance and digital policy developments, I thought colleagues might find both the agenda and the presentation useful. The proposed themes raise interesting questions about the future of the Internet and digital governance. I would be interested in hearing colleagues' views on whether sovereignty, trust, and an open Internet are the right framing for IGF 2026, and whether there are other themes that deserve greater attention. Desiree — Coop WG Co-chair
