SIDI Hub Community Newsletter – February 2026 Update.
HIGHLIGHT!
The SIDI Hub initiative made substantial strides in 2025, with two workshops held in Ethiopia and Paris. These efforts led to the publication of a Trust Management Report and the establishment of a new work item by the ITU-T.
FINAL REPORTS AVAILABLE FOR ADDIS ABABA AND PARIS
Missed the Paris Workshop? No worries! The report is now available. And if you couldn’t make it to Addis Ababa, the report is also ready for you too.
