Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, on 15-18 November 2009
Pleased to inform you to the fourth annual meeting of the Internet
Governance Forum (IGF) in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, on 15-18 November
2009, which is being graciously hosted by the Government of Egypt.
Participation will be open to all entities accredited to the World
Summit on the Information Society (WSIS). Other institutions and
persons with proven expertise and experience in matters related to
Internet governance may also apply to attend.
The overall theme of the meeting will be Internet Governance -
Creating Opportunities for All. The theme reflects the basic purpose
of the IGF to develop a common understanding of how to maximize the
opportunities the Internet offers for all nations and peoples, and how
to address the risks and challenges, while also raising awareness of
the development dimension of Internet governance.
A broad-based consultation process through the Multistakeholder
Advisory Group has generated the following proposed agenda for the
meeting:
. Managing critical internet resources;
. Security, openness and privacy;
. Access and diversity;
. Internet governance in light of WSIS principles;
. Emerging issues - impact of social networks; and
. Taking stock and the way forward - desirability of the
continuation of the Forum.
