>> 
>> [Geneva, Switzerland - 16 May 2013] – Today, the World Telecommunication
>> Policy Forum (WTPF) came to a close with robust debate among all
>> stakeholders about the role of government in Internet governance.
>> Throughout the meeting, the Internet Society participated in dialogue that
>> focused on several key areas, including the significant role of Internet
>> exchange points as a means of enhancing Internet connectivity, the need for
>> timely deployment of IPv6, and the importance of the multi-stakeholder model
>> of Internet governance.
>> 
>> Six opinions were drafted by a WTPF Informal Experts Group and submitted to
>> the meeting, addressing topics such as capacity building, IP addressing, and
>> Internet governance.  These Opinions were discussed among all participants:
>> ITU member states and sector members, civil society organizations, and other
>> key international stakeholders. The inclusion of stakeholders assisted in
>> broadening the discussion to allow for a more inclusive dialogue.  As a
>> result, a vigorous debate related to the role of governments in the
>> multi-stakeholder model exhibited the importance of continued discussions in
>> a variety of fora.
>> 
>> “This week’s dialogue was a significant step forward,” said Lynn St. Amour,
>> Internet Society President and Chief Executive Officer.  “We know that the
>> multi-stakeholder model has served the Internet and individuals across the
>> world extraordinarily well, leading to innovations and infrastructure
>> development that may not have come about with a top-down model. We welcome
>> this open dialogue and hope these discussions continue over the coming
>> months at forums such as the Commission on Science and Technology for
>> Development and the Internet Governance Forum in order that all voices are
>> heard.”
>> 
>> The Internet Society is a global, nonprofit organization dedicated to an
>> open Internet for everyone. The Internet Society is a strong advocate of the
>> multi-stakeholder model of Internet governance because it is the heart of
>> the Internet’s architectural foundation and has proven to be the best way to
>> ensure that the benefits of the Internet are available to all.  Experience
>> shows that public policy processes that draw from a base of community
>> expertise are most effective in creating the environment in which Internet
>> development and access can flourish.
