  1. Facing the recent announcements from some governments aimed to the fragmentation of Internet based on the argument to avoid mechanisms of surveillance, can we affirm that Internet End Users will continue to enjoy of the "Global Internet" as we know until today? 
    1. Can the Internet Users collaborate in the elaboration of regulatory frameworks and policies that are developed on surveillance of communications that include their own interests?
  2. Taking into account the Internet differences between developed and developing countries in relation to: infrastructure, access  (especially access to the bandwidth), accessibility, costs and quality of services, commercial agreements between access and content providers and local governments, how do these differences affect the interest, the activities, the possibility of creation of local content and innovation, the development, the training and the growth of Internet End Users from these regions? 
    1. Can we use Internet as a powerful tool to reach out the integration of developed and developing countries?
  3. In many multi-stakeholder spaces / forums for discussion and decision-making related to Internet governance, especially after the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), the following are listed as stakeholders involved in these processes: governments, private sector, civil society and technical and academic community. We note that the Internet End Users are not considered as a particular stakeholder and different from other stakeholders. Some people consider that these users should be included within civil society, others within the technical community; others say Internet End Users cannot be included within civil society because civil society represents more diffuse and general interests. What is the place of Internet End Users in Internet Governance? Do they need to be involved in it? Should they be considered as a new and different stakeholder in the Internet Governance ecosystem?
