Colleagues, I will have 3 minutes in the WSIS+20 public forum on Wednesday to address the following question from an enduser perspective -- *How does your community explain what are the essentials to protect the global internet and to formulate a long-term vision that works for politicians.* *Note that WSIS+20 is a UN process which is multilateral -- so working with political allies would be essential. Background: WSIS2003 (World Summit on the Information Society) was an intergovernmental conference where other groups had access and observer status which was a step forward at the time. It established a working group on internet governance (WGIG) which was multistakeholder and which developed the following definition -- "Internet governance is the development and application by governments, the private sector and civil society, in their respective roles, of shared principles, norms, rules, decision-making procedures and programmes that shape the evolution and use of the Internet." This led to the establishment of the Internet Governance Forum (2006) How would we see this definition evolving and what kinds of resources are needed to realize that goal? I would welcome any input.
