The NETmundial Multistakeholder Statement covers a wide range of Internet Governance issues that are of great interest to IGF. In particular, the Statement highlighted the need for a strengthened IGF in its mandate of serving as the focal point for the discussion of many issues that are not being adequately addressed by existing organizations and fora. This main session aims at taking stock of how well those issues are being advanced by the community 18 months after São Paulo.
The session will have two main objectives:
a) To take stock of the evolution of the Internet Governance ecosystem with regard to the principles contained in the NETmundial Multistakeholder Statement and its roadmap.
b) To assess the current and future impact of the NETmundial Statement on Internet Governance processes.
The main part of the session will be organized in five consecutive blocks. The three initial blocks will correspond to the discussion of the following three policy questions:
In each of these blocks, a main speaker will have 10 minutes to address concrete examples that show the advancement of the Internet Governance ecosystem, as appropriate for each of the policy questions. A debater will have 5 minutes immediately after the main speaker to discuss his/her contribution. The fourth block will bring three debaters that will address all three policy questions together. The fifth and final block will be entirely reserved for the interaction with the audience, from a global perspective regarding all policy questions.
