Agenda
IGF 2014 sub theme that this workshop fall under IGF & The Future of the Internet Ecosystem |
Description The growing complexity and significance of Internet governance necessitates addressing the difficult issues that impact, or are impacted by the continued evolution of the global Internet. Capturing these issues requires that the roles played by intergovernmental, and governmental stakeholders in collaboration with Internet technical professionals, private sector businesses and other non-governmental stakeholders be better understood. Successfully dealing with these all-important Internet governance aspects requires connecting several, sometimes-disparate areas of technology, policy, development and civil society to work on solutions and act in concert to ensure collaborative stewardship of the Internet continues. |

Description of how the proposer plan to facilitate discussion amongst speakers, audience members and remote participants It can be difficult to address emerging Internet governance issues if there is a lack of understanding about the problem, incomplete agreement about the steps required to address it, or insufficient support from all stakeholders. The growing complexity and significance of the Internet governance environment necessitates framing and then addressing these difficult governance issues. A taxonomy approach that identifies the issues, captures the various aspects and characteristics of the issue and then identifies the roles and stakeholders is what is needed for a successful engagement and discussion is important in identifying and understanding the issues that are not being addressed elsewhere. |
