IGF 2010: developing the future together
The United Nation Internet Governance Forum (IGF) has published an updated paper on the program for the IGF5 meeting that will be held in Vilnius, Lithuania from the 14th to 17th September 2010.
The paper states:
“The agenda of the Vilnius meeting
“IGF 2010 – developing the future together” is the overall theme for the Vilnius meeting.
The key themes used in the previous IGF meetings have proven their validity and they were maintained for the Vilnius meeting. A new key theme – ‘Internet governance for development (IG4D)’ - was chosen to replace the theme entitled ‘Internet governance in the light of WSIS Principles’ from 2009. Additionally, the 'Taking stock and looking forward session' has been refocused to 'Taking stock of Internet governance and the way forward.'
The agenda for the 2010 meeting includes the following key themes:
- Managing critical Internet resources
- Security, openness and privacy
- Access and diversity
- Internet governance for development (IG4D)
- Taking stock of Internet governance and the way forward
- Emerging issues: cloud computing”
