PAULO, June 30 (Xinhua) -- Jack Ma, founder of China's ecommerce giant
Alibaba, was elected co-chairman of the Global Internet Governance
Alliance (GIGA) at the first general meeting of </span><span style="font-family:georgia,serif">GIGA council held here Tuesday.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif">"This election signifies trust in China's Internet, and how China governs its Internet," said Ma.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif">The
meeting was set to discuss key issues related to international
cooperation on Internet governance while highlighting China's role.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif">Brazilian
President Dilma Rousseff had called for a just and equal global
Internet environment and regarded China as the "key factor to the
success of global Internet governance," said Fadi Chehade, president of
the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif">Rousseff had suggested he find Chinese partners for cooperation, Chehade said.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif">To
establish a multiple-stakeholder platform, Chehade said that dialogues
among different partners should be improved, the platform should be
transparent and just, and all stakeholders should be able to equally
participate in global Internet governance.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif">GIGA
is co-sponsored by ICANN, the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee and
the World Economic Forum to provide a platform for the discussion of
Internet governance solutions. </span></span></p><span><font color="#888888">
