Fellow IPC Members, For those of you following Internet Governance matters outside of ICANN, the email below and the document and blog referred to should be of interest. Greg Shatan IPC President ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Constance Bommelaer <bommelaer@isoc.org> Date: Fri, Jul 31, 2015 at 11:14 AM Subject: [Internet Policy] ISOC Contribution to UN WSIS+10 Review To: Internet Policy External <InternetPolicy@elists.isoc.org>, "internetsociety_advisorycouncilne@ConnectedCommunity.org" < internetsociety_advisorycouncilne@connectedcommunity.org>, "internetsociety_chapterleaderscommunityne@ConnectedCommunity.org" < internetsociety_chapterleaderscommunityne@connectedcommunity.org> Dear Members, The Internet Society has submitted a <http://www.internetsociety.org/doc/internet-society-written-submission-wsis10-non-paper>*written contribution to the UN General Assembly WSIS+10 Review* <http://www.internetsociety.org/doc/internet-society-written-submission-wsis1...> to be held later in December, in New York. In our submission, we highlight the two main outcomes we are aiming for: - Preserving the consensus of the 2005 Tunis Agenda that recognizes the distributed model of governance of the Internet where each stakeholder group has its own role and set of responsibilities, while all working together; - Laying the foundations of an inclusive, people-centered and development-oriented Information Society for the next decade, articulated around three main pillars: 1/ collaborative networks for human empowerment and sustainable development, 2/ collaborative security for trust-worthy environments, and 3/ collaborative governance where open frameworks lead to successful discussions. For further background information, you can also read this *blog post* <http://www.internetsociety.org/blog/public-policy/2015/07/internet-society-i...>. With regards to *next steps*, all contributions received will feed into a "non-paper" published by the UN in August. The next face-to-face consultations will take place in NY in Oct, leading to the UN GA High-Level Event on 15-16 Dec. where leaders from all communities should be invited to speak (see the WSIS+10 preparatory process roadmap <http://unpan3.un.org/wsis10/preparatoryprocess> ). Many thanks to all the colleagues who have made suggestions and shared useful insights, they were very useful to develop ISOC's submission. Our Members and Chapters are an essential part of our engagement with the UN.
