WSIS+20 -- Towards an intervention strategy
The 2025 review of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) implementation is a critical opportunity to reaffirm support for multistakeholder Internet Governance. At an ICANN76 public forum on the topic, participants agreed that participation from as many groups as possible was essential to ensure the future of multistakeholder internet governance. However, specifics around how such participation might be organized has yet to be determined. This session would discuss the process underway and seek out ways various stakeholders could engage in a process that will move forward in a highly structured multilateral space.
Objective: to update the community on the current stage of the process and propose intervention strategies that stakeholders might adopt
Ideally, this would be a collaborative session GAC-At Large. If this is not possible, At Large could certainly run such a session on its own.
Time slot proposed: 60 minutes
Panel format: 4-5 panelists with in-depth knowledge of the file and the ways and means of organizing responses from specific sectors as the WSIS+20 process moves through it's various phases
**** The following are suggestions for possible participants. None of these people have been approached****
