The resilient and interconnected internet is governed by many different stakeholders across many bodies and it works.

But the UN, and crucially its member states, want more say over the future of the internet.

Catch up on the chatter just in time to join a major milestone in the debate this coming Thursday.

The UN process to give itself and states more control of the internet is the WSIS, which established in 2005 the crucial multistakeholder internet governance modes.

At the WSIS+10 they talked about "enhanced cooperation", which completely failed to bring states into existing processes or strengthen internet governance.

Now as the WSIS+20 approaches they talk about "digital cooperation" as a replacement for internet governance. I have a hunch that this time states won't be sitting this one out.

The status as of today is that in 2025, the UN Internet Governance Forum (IGF 2025) is to be held in #Russia. If this country, ruled by ((already officially prosecuted)) #war #criminals , has just assumed the presidency of the #UNSC then I guess there is nothing inappropriate for it to host such a forum, right ?
