WEBCAST MAY 28 – Understanding Internet Governance: Implications for Digital, Data, and AI Governance

LIVESTREAM | PERMALINK

On Wednesday May 28, 2025, at 11:00-12:30 EDT (15:00-16:30 UTC), the Columbia Institute for Tele-Information, as part of its Global Digital Governance series, presents a webinar ‘Understanding Internet Governance: Implications for Digital, Data, and AI Governance‘.

June 2025 is the 20^th anniversary of the report by the UN Working Group on Internet Governance (WGIG). Convened by the UN Secretary General to help resolve key questions that were blocking the World Summit on the Information Society negotiations, the WGIG produced a report that inter alia advanced a broad and holistic “working definition” of Internet governance and proposed the establishment of the Internet Governance Forum with the same character.  The definition highlighted that Internet governance involves shared frameworks developed by both states and stakeholders for both the underlying infrastructure and its diverse uses.  The WGIG’s recommendations helped to deescalate a divisive battle over intergovernmental vs. multistakeholder governance and were incorporated into the negotiated outcome, and the definition has been invoked as foundational in UN processes and beyond ever since.

But while governments and stakeholders signed onto the WGIG’s understanding of Internet governance in 2005, the international debates and politics over the twenty years since suggest that commitment to it has not been uniform or deep.  The balance between intergovernmental and multistakeholder approaches has remained contested, and attention to improving the design of institutions has been limited.  This has special salience today not only because the UN is reviewing the World Summit’s twenty-year implementation in order to determine the next steps, but also because we are once again in a period where there are pressures to establish new international governance mechanisms.  In and outside the UN, there are multiple processes underway concerning the governance of the digital economy, data, and artificial intelligence that are raising challenges akin to those confronted in the Internet governance battles of the past.

Among the questions worth exploring in this context are: 1) Has the WGIG’s understanding of Internet governance stood the test of time?  What are its strengths and weaknesses, and with the benefit of hindsight would a similar exercise produce the same results today?  2) To what extent is the approach taken in 2005 useful in addressing the contemporary push for governance of the digital economy, data, and artificial intelligence? Are there lessons to be learned that would assist in managing the analytical and political challenges?  3) What are the implications of the new governance debates for the Internet Governance Forum and related institutions?

This webinar will explore these questions.  A panel of WGIG veterans will lead off the conversation, and then the rest of the session will be devoted to open discussion among all interested attendees.  At the June 2026 Internet Governance Forum meeting in Norway, a larger WGIG+20 session will build upon this discussion.

The session is simulcast live by ISOC LIVE.

Avri Doria – independent researcher and consultant.
Wolfgang Kleinwächter – Professor Emeritus of International Communication Policy and Regulation, University of Aarhus
Markus Kummer – Internet governance and policy expert
Vittorio Bertola – Head of Policy & Innovation, Open-Xchange

WEBCAST 28 MAI – #NetGouv25

LIVESTREAM | PERMALINK

Le 28 mai 2025, Le Groupe de travail sur la gouvernance et la régulation d’Internet, en partenariat avec l’AFNIC, l’Université Sorbonne-Nouvelle (Irméccen), et Internet Society (ISOC) France, organise sa deuxième conférence annuelle ‘#NetGouv25‘ à la Maison de la recherche de la Sorbonne Nouvelle et en ligne.

Cette gouvernance d’Internet – à la fois en tant qu’infrastructure et espace public rendu possible par celle-ci – fait l’objet de controverses, de mobilisations politiques, et d’une gouvernance reposant sur une grande diversité de parties-prenantes et d’institutions, parfois rivales, parfois coordonnées. Comprendre les enjeux et les effets des décisions prises dans ces arènes requiert la collaboration de nombreuses disciplines (STS, SIC, droit, science politique, informatique, géopolitique, design, économie…) représentées lors des conférences #NetGouv.

ARCHIVE | PERMALINK

On Thursday May 22, 2025, the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) Dynamic Coalitions (DCs) held their third Global Webinar with the theme ‘Capacity Building for the Digital Age ‘.

In an increasingly interconnected world, digital technologies are transforming how economies function, how societies interact, and how individuals live and work. As the digital landscape evolves rapidly—shaped by innovations in artificial intelligence, data-driven platforms, and cloud infrastructure—there is a growing need to equip individuals, institutions, and governments with the capacity to engage meaningfully and effectively in this new paradigm. However, this digital acceleration has also exposed and, in some cases, deepened existing inequalities. The divide between the digitally connected and the digitally underserved—whether across geographies, socio-economic strata, or communities—risks marginalizing large populations from the benefits of digital progress. Addressing this gap requires more than just access to technology; it demands a structured and sustained approach to capacity building—encompassing digital literacy, cybersecurity awareness, infrastructure development, inclusive governance, and agile policy-making. This webinar seeks to explore effective strategies, innovative frameworks, and collaborative models for capacity building in the digital age. By convening global thought leaders, practitioners, and policy influencers, the session will foster dialogue on how diverse stakeholders can co-create resilient, inclusive, and future-ready digital ecosystems that uphold the principles of equity, security, and empowerment.

On 8 May 2025 the Internet Society Egypt Chapter (Internet Masr ) presented the fourth in its infrastructure webinar series with a briefing session ‘The Planet Paradox: Digital Infrastructure & Environmental Responsibility‘. Ahmed Abdel-Latif explored the real-world impact of digital infrastructure on the planet we live on. As the digital economy continues to grow at an unprecedented pace, the demand for the infrastructure that powers it accelerates. While they are essential to enabling innovation, AI, cloud computing, and global industry reinvention, data centers also raise urgent questions about energy consumption, sustainability, and environmental stewardship.

VIDEO – May 14 – DC-CIV – From Talk to Action: Safeguarding Core Internet Values in Today’s Digital Governance ‘
May 14 2025 – the IGF Dynamic Coalition on Core Internet Values (DC-CIV) held a flash session ‘From Talk to Action: Safeguarding Core Internet Values in Today’s Digital Governance ‘ at the 2025 Pan-European dialogue on Internet governance (EuroDIG) at the Palais de l’Europe in Strasbourg France.

The Internet Governance Forum has been, in the past, often given the sobriquet of “a talk shop”. During the WSIS+10 Review, the APC performed an analysis of concrete decisions or actions that have been taken as a result of engagement at national, regional and global Internet Governance Forum. Since the WSIS+10 recommended that more “Concrete Outcomes” were needed from the IGF, a number of processes including the publication of formal messages from each IGF as well as the IGF High Level Panel were implemented. Today, many examples abound where the dialogue started at IGF and ended up with concrete outcomes including discussions that moved to specialised fora and agencies. Linking workshops and the IGF Processes to SDGs was also a significant step into making sure the IGF discussions led to advances in the world’s sustainable development.

This session looked at the specific case of Core Internet Values. From its first workshop in Sharm el Sheikh 2009 (Workshop on Fundamentals: Core Internet Values) until today, the DC-CIV has been refining the list of Core Internet Values and this, along with work undertaken by other organizations, has led to the widespread comprehension that there are indeed some Internet fundamentals which make the Internet what it is and what it will continue to be. But what and how can more be done?
