[Chapter-delegates] Montevideo Statement on the Future of Internet Cooperation

[Dr. Alejandro Pisanty Baruch]

Wende,

thanks a lot for sending this news.

The Statement looks in many ways and levels like it emerged from some kind of Summit meeting. Can you or someone else from ISOC leadership tell us about it?

I guess we Chapters people must have missed the news about it while being busy in discussions about "community-wide efforst towards de evolution of global multistakeholder Internet cooperation" in our own little space, and also in each Chapter's activities toward the same ends in our local and other organizational spaces.

Thanks in advance!

Yours,

Alejandro Pisanty

Montevideo Statement on the Future of Internet Cooperation

[Montevideo, Uruguay – 7 October 2013] -- The leaders of organizations responsible for coordination of the Internet technical infrastructure globally have met in Montevideo, Uruguay, to consider current issues affecting the future of the Internet.

The Internet and World Wide Web have brought major benefits in social and economic development worldwide. Both have been built and governed in the public interest through unique mechanisms for global multistakeholder Internet cooperation, which have been intrinsic to their success.  The leaders discussed the clear need to continually strengthen and evolve these mechanisms, in truly substantial ways, to be able to address emerging issues faced by stakeholders in the Internet.

In this sense:

•They reinforced the importance of globally coherent Internet operations, and warned against Internet fragmentation at a national level. They expressed strong concern over the undermining of the trust and confidence of Internet users globally due to recent revelations of pervasive monitoring and surveillance.

•They identified the need for ongoing effort to address Internet Governance challenges, and agreed to catalyze community-wide efforts towards the evolution of global multistakeholder Internet cooperation.

•They called for accelerating the globalization of ICANN and IANA functions, towards an environment in which all stakeholders, including all governments, participate on an equal footing.

•They also called for the transition to IPv6 to remain a top priority globally. In particular Internet content providers must serve content with both IPv4 and IPv6 services, in order to be fully reachable on the global Internet.
