Internet Governance Conference Room 6

Area:  (EMERGING AND CROSS-CUTTING) Inclusive IG ecosystems and digital
cooperation <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/taxonomy/term/1002>)

Another question to address touches on how the technical governance of the
protocols and procedures that underpin an interconnected Internet relate to
the ongoing Internet public policy discourses.

Policy questions

   1. Digital sovereignty: What is meant by digital sovereignty? What
   implications does it have for the global nature of the Internet, for
   Internet governance itself, and the effectiveness of the multistakeholder
   approach? From an opposite angle, what are the implications of the Internet
   and digitalisation for national sovereignty?
   2. Assessing Internet governance approaches and mechanisms and fostering
   inclusiveness: What are the main strengths and weaknesses of existing
   Internet governance approaches and mechanisms? What can be done, and by
   whom, to foster more inclusive Internet governance at the national,
   regional and international levels?
   3. Governance and cooperation for an evolving Internet: How does
   Internet governance need to change in order to meet the changing nature and
   role of the Internet? What tools, mechanisms, and capacity building
   instruments are needed for stakeholders to effectively cooperate, and
   engage in Internet governance?
   4. Technical Internet governance: How can the technical governance of
   the Internet (e.g. the development of standards and protocols, and the
   management of critical resources) take into account the needs and views of
   all stakeholders?
   5. Advancing global digital cooperation: What opportunities are provided
   by the current focus on digital cooperation resulting from the UN
   Secretary-General's Roadmap for digital cooperation? What role should the
   IGF play (and how) in advancing global digital cooperation?
