I-Engage Institute Mission and Vision
- Mission: To help bridge the gap between territorial and digital sovereignty.
- Vision: To be an activity-based platform meant to support the stakeholders of the Internet Ecosystem, its governing processes and institutions.
I-Engage Institute role and activities
The I-Engage Institute fulfills his mission and vision as a think tank for all of the Internet Ecosystem through the following activities:
- Providing a platform for all Internet Ecosystem stakeholders to engage in multi-stakeholder dialogue and exchange that is based on the implementation of joint activities of common interest to all participants;
- Doing outreach and awareness building specifically targeting the biggest Internet stakeholder group of them all -the global general public -, to address relevant issues related to the Internet Ecosystem and its governance;
- Providing a space for impartial cross cutting research;
- Supporting the economic development and sustainability of the Internet Ecosystem and the DNS (Domain Name System), this underlies it.
What makes the I-Engage Institute different?
The Institute is different from existing IG-related institutions as:
- It is created, governed and maintained by the Internet Ecosystem Stakeholders themselves;
- It is independent and bridges the gap between territorial and digital sovereignty and is therefore a vital instrument to support the Internet Government processes and institutions;
- Its operations and impact is based on concrete joint action of the stakeholders and not only on dialogue;
- It recognizes and addresses the need for awareness-building and the inclusion of the global general public on all topics/aspects/issues related to the Internet Ecosystem and its governance as the foundation for its stability, security and overall sustainability.
