It seems that the Commission, or more precisely DG CONNECT, is working on a
significant policy document, a Communication to Parliament and
Council.
You can get a flavour of some of their concerns here:
"What is the situation we have decided to change:
The current multi stakeholder approach to Internet governance is very complex
and lacks both transparency and accountability in order for all
actors to fully adhere to the way the internet is currently governed.
That says to me "we don't understand it, can someone please explain it
better". Keeping the same staff on the job for more than year or two
might help, of course.
We need to ensure that the global principles for Internet governance continue
to develop in line with our internet COMPACT, through enhanced
coordination with EU Member States and proactive presence in international
fora.
I'm not aware that anyone is actively seeking to prevent their
participation, or even actively seeking to prevent a greater
participation.
