This is a great discussion around #InternetGovernance, the #UN, the recent #WSIS +20 review, the importance of #InternetAccess, and in general about what's at stake for the future of the #Internet if we don't get this right... if you have 40 minutes, I recommend giving it a listen!

APC's statement presentation during the High-Level Meeting on the overall review of the implementation of the outcomes of the World Summit on the Information Society (#WSIS+20) urging to "remember that WSIS is about harnessing digital tools for people-centred development, not about developing digital tools and processes".

#WSIS20

Al #WSIS l'Assemblea Generale ONU ha confermato il mandato dell'Internet Governance Forum e il modello multistakeholder di governo della Rete.

È una buona notizia: nonostante le istituzioni aperte della Rete (ICANN, IETF, RIRs) abbiano le loro criticità, prima fra tutte l'essere ancora troppo USA-centriche, l'alternativa sarebbe stata la centralizzazione di ogni decisione nei soli organismi governativi

On 17 December, ICANN President and CEO Kurtis Lindqvist addressed the United Nation (U.N.) General Assembly during its High-Level Meeting on the overall review of the implementation of the outcomes of WSIS+20.

Hearing these principles clearly stated on the UN stage underscores the mission of the Sovereign Tech Agency and we very much appreciate the minister including this in his statement.
