I\u2019m Roshatey \u2014 a technologist and strategist with a background in Computer Science, Public Policy, and Innovation Management. I work at the intersection of emerging tech and public systems, with a focus on designing products and digital infrastructure that are both future-ready and context-aware. From AI to blockchain, my interest lies in how we shape technologies to serve complex governance needs \u2014 not just through adoption, but through intentional, human-centred design. With experience across both government and private sector spaces, I build with scale, equity, and long-term impact in mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fellow Report:<\/h4>\n
My EUROSSIG 2025 Journey<\/h5>\n

When you start a week in the charming town of Meissen, surrounded by cobblestone streets, porcelain history, and a cohort that looks like a world map come alive, you know you\u2019re in for something special.<\/p>\n

We kicked off with Wolfgang\u2019s presentation \u2014 Internet Governance between Policy and Technology \u2014 which took us through the six waves of internet development, the Four Digital Seasons, and the Circular Approach. It was like watching the evolution of the internet speed-run before my eyes: from the early utopian days to the present-day geopolitical chessboard \u2014 US vs EU, China vs US, Russia vs the West \u2014 and the nuanced realities in India, Africa, and Brazil.<\/p>\n

For me, this moved far beyond theory. As someone from the public sector, it made me reflect on how AI and cyber technologies are increasingly being applied in government spaces to improve service delivery and tackle emerging challenges.<\/p>\n

Multistakeholderism Comes Alive<\/strong>
\nHere, multistakeholderism wasn\u2019t just a concept on a slide \u2014 it was in action. The room brought together Global South and Global North representation alongside voices from policy, tech, civil society, and academia. Meals turned into debates, coffee breaks into policy clinics, and the porcelain factory tour\u2026 well, let\u2019s just say it proved that craftsmanship isn\u2019t limited to ceramics \u2014 it exists in internet governance too.<\/p>\n

And then there were the breakout groups \u2014 part policy lab, part global ideas caf\u00e9. That\u2019s where we rolled up our sleeves for the WSIS+20 elements paper, debating, drafting, and refining until our final input reflected a true chorus of perspectives.<\/p>\n

Faculty That Felt Like Mentors<\/strong>
\nOne of the true highlights was the breakout discussions and one-to-one knowledge exchanges with faculty who were as approachable as they were insightful. Conversations with Adam Peake, Keith, Alena, Dirk, Chris, Hans, and Bertrand were genuinely enlightening \u2014 each bringing a unique lens to internet governance and policy. These sessions felt less like formal lectures and more like open, evolving dialogues where questions flowed freely, ideas were challenged, and perspectives deepened.<\/p>\n

From IP Addresses to Cybersecurity<\/strong>
\nComing from a Computer Science + Policy background, I found the ICANN sessions on acronyms, IP addressing (IPv4, IPv6), and DENIC\u2019s role in ccTLDs highly informative.<\/p>\n

Tatiana\u2019s session on Cybersecurity and Cybercrime highlighted practical realities for policymakers:<\/p>\n
