With over 1,500 attendees at this year's Internet Governance Forum, family online safety was a dominant theme. From the opening morning of the workshop schedule, the Dynamic Coalition (which includes FOSI) took its theme as "The Global Path of ensuring Online Child Protection and Safety: Effective Strategies and Specific Actions." Subsequent workshops ensured child online safety was never far from the top of the agenda.
The forum culminated on the last day with a Host Country Honourary Session, during which FOSI signed a ground-breaking agreement between it and the Egyptian Government. Signed in the presence of H.E. Suzanne Mubarak, this two year agreement commits both parties to a number of important family online safety initiatives in Egypt and the wider Arab World.
