PrepCom3 Parallel Events on Internet Governance
Organized by Computer Professionals For Social Responisbility (CPSR)
The purpose of these events is to facilitate focused, open, multistakeholder discussions on two major issues that were discussed in the report of the UN Working Group on Internet Governance (WGIG) and are prominent on the WSIS agenda for PrepCom-3 and beyond: 1) the possible creation of a new Forum for Internet governance dialogue, monitoring, and analysis; and 2) the possible reform of the current arrangements for Oversight of the Internet’s core resources (e.g. the root zone file and ICANN’s Government Advisory Committee). All attendees are very much welcome to participate in these discussions.
