Dear All, Wanted to bring to your attention that in the next deep dive of the GDC on Internet Governance, the out of the three deep dive questions mention ICANN among other IG platforms and seeks communities opinion on what role its playing to support IG and how it can be strengthened. Posting the questions for easy reference. 1. Over the last twenty years the share of world’s population connected to the internet has more than quadrupled. New internet-based tools – from the smartphone to social media – have emerged and we are moving into an Internet of Things. How can we continue to ensure the unfragmented safe, global, secure, and inclusive internet? 2. The 2005 Tunis Agenda endorsed a multi-stakeholder approach to the governance of the internet. How have we succeeded in realizing vision? How do the roles and functions of various multi- stakeholder forums such as ICANN, IETF and the IGF come together to support internet governance? And how can they be strengthened? 3. How can governments, technical standard bodies, civil society, industry and all stakeholders work together for an open, indivisible, free, interoperable, global, secure, inclusive Internet?
