- Roundtable 1: Internet Users' Interests
- Leon Sanchez - Referenced ICANN bylaws that ALAC is the organizational home of internet end users. Noted there are other groups, NCSG, IPC, even the GAC, enables the interests of end users. Noted the RALOs and the ALSes that are able to reach out to local end users. This allows for the bottom up process through the RALOs to the ALAC. So there are more than one channel for how internet end users can participate. He also noted that individuals can participate in PDPs, although there are some membership requirements.
- Sarah Kiden - Cited the capacity building that is available. She noted that ALSes are active in the regions, but tend not to participate in the policy advice development process. Need to build confidence in the end users. Also, end users need to be empowered so they can contribute to the policy development process. Some in At-Large mentor people who need to build capacity.
- Jonathan Zuck - Noted the work of the CPWG. He described the tools of the CPWG. They include the two way dialogue from the CPWG to the RALOs and ALSes. There is room for growth here. Another tool is the use of surveys, both end user surveys and professional surveys Noted the End User Survey that is going to be focused on the topic of IDNs and UA in the Hindi speaking area of India.
- Pari Esfandiari - The internet is indispensable, cited pandemic use of Zoom and Ukraine invasion. Pointed out the challenges of cybercrime and other challenges of the internet. DNS abuse can lead to significant interruption to the stability of the internet. There are risks to the social contract as relates to end users' trust of the internet. Regulation and guidance are necessary.
