ICANN at the Internet Governance Forum | International Convention and Exhibition Center, Istanbul, Turkey, September 2-5 2014
25 August 2014
ICANN looks forward to participating in this year's 9th Internet Governance Forum (IGF) meeting in Istanbul, Turkey. The overarching theme of the Istanbul meeting is: Connecting Continents for Enhanced Multistakeholder Internet Governance. This year's meeting will build on previous IGFs and further the dialogue on Internet governance and emerging Internet issues. It will also build on the success of NETmundial and promote its outcomes. ICANN believes that the IGF plays an effective role in fostering global multistakeholder cooperation in Internet governance and strongly supports its continuation beyond its 2015 mandate.
The IGF is an open forum for multistakeholder dialogue on public policy issues related to key elements of Internet governance aimed at promoting the multistakeholder Internet governance approach to ensure sustainability, robustness, security, stability and development of the Internet. The United Nations Secretary-General formally announced the establishment of the IGF in July 2006 and the first meeting was convened in October/November 2006.
