UN Preserves Multistakeholder Internet Governance Model
9.0
The United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday approved the WSIS+20 resolution, preserving the multi-stakeholder model of internet governance that treats governments as one voice among many. The resolution makes the Internet Governance Forum permanent and funds it, reasserts roles for bodies like ICANN, IETF and W3C, and renews links between internet governance, human rights, development and AI policy discussions.
Key Points
- 1Approves WSIS+20 resolution, preserving multi-stakeholder internet governance and making the IGF permanent.
- 2Signals international consensus to keep technical bodies like ICANN, IETF, and W3C central to governance.
- 3Enables practitioners to engage through IGF and multistakeholder channels on AI and internet policy.
Scoring Rationale
Official UN GA decision and permanent IGF broaden global governance impact; limited immediate operational changes constrain short-term action.
