Roundtable
In a roundtable format, the session will mix information from experts with questions and dialogue. There will be designated speakers for each of the main topics of the session, but other experts, representative of different regions, will also attend. The Internet is inherently a collaboration, we aim to use the session to inform and also identify areas for collaboration. Participants in the session will gain a comprehensive understanding of the topics at hand without feeling rushed. Presenters and discussants will include representatives all the Internet Technical Community Organisations from all regiobs: ICANN, Regional Internet Registries, ISOC, IETC and Country Code Top Level Domain Name mangers.
What do we mean when we say the "Internet"? To many of us, the Internet might be what we access on our phones or laptops – content, applications, and services. It provides a way for us to communicate with family, friends, and colleagues, and to access and share information. However, the Internet – an essential communications, development, and empowerment tool – would be impossible without its technical meaning. The Internet is a network of many networks, more than 70,000+, independently owned and managed, that are globally connected and use common protocols that facilitate communications and enable interoperability. The Internet We Want is only possible because of the stability, resiliency and interoperability of its technical foundation. The technical aspects that make up the Internet are invisible to many and are often taken for granted. The session aims to strengthen participants' understanding of the technical foundations of the Internet and the technical community’s role in the Internet’s operations and development. We will discuss how these organizations that comprise the Technical Community, with separate responsibilities and work together to ensure the Internet continues to function well. The session will take a step-by-step approach in explaining how Internet communications are enabled. How do our computers know where to find the website we want to access? How does our email end up at the correct destination? At this year's IGF, we will discuss the Internet We Want. This session will provide participants with a deeper understanding of how the Internet’s technical foundations and robust multistakeholder governance model supports the Internet we all want.
We encourage online as well as onsite participants. The Internet technical community is very familiar with working on hybrid formats, it is how we conduct many of our meetings. The moderators and speaker are very experienced in this format.
