Title: Shaping the Internet through multistakeholder governance
Session Description:
A healthy multistakeholder governance model is crucial for the smooth functioning of the internet. It allows for inclusive and adaptive governance that takes into account diversity of perspectives and contexts from various stakeholders, which is important in the backdrop of the constantly evolving nature of the internet and other digital technologies. As the region is at a crossroads, with issues related to digital divide and inclusion on one hand, and new and emerging technologies on the other, while also ensuring the internet and related infrastructure are secure, we must examine how these intersections impact each other and how these various issues can be governed through a robust multistakeholder model.
