<p class="MsoNormal">Reaffirming its resolution 70/1 of 25 September 2015,
entitled “Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”,
in which it adopted a comprehensive, far-reaching and people-centred set of
universal and transformative Sustainable Development Goals and targets, its
commitment to working tirelessly for the full implementation of the Agenda by
2030, its recognition that eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions,
including extreme poverty, is the greatest global challenge and an
indispensable requirement for sustainable development, its commitment to
achieving sustainable development in its three dimensions — economic, social
and environmental — in a balanced and integrated manner, and to building upon
the achievements of the Millennium Development Goals and seeking to address
their unfinished business,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In paragraph 55 of the Tunis Agenda,
and in this regard recognize that the
existing arrangements have worked effectively to make the Internet the highly
robust, dynamic and geographically diverse medium that it is today, with the
private sector taking the lead in day-to-day operations and with innovation and
the creation of value at the edges. However, almost 4 billion people,
representing approximately two thirds of the people residing in developing
countries, remain offline.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It was recognize that
there is a need to promote greater participation and engagement in the Internet
governance discussions of Governments, the private sector, civil society,
international organizations, the technical and academic communities and all
other relevant stakeholders from developing countries, particularly African
countries, least developed countries, landlocked developing countries and small
island developing States, and middle-income countries, as well as countries in
situations of conflict, post-conflict countries and countries affected by
natural disasters. We call for strengthened, stable, transparent and voluntary
funding mechanisms to this end.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">It was also reaffirm that Internet governance should continue to follow the provisions set forth in the outcomes of the summits held in Tunis and Geneva<br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:7.5pt;margin-left:7.5pt;margin-bottom:0.0001pt;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Symbol;color:rgb(102,102,102)">·<span style="font-stretch:normal;font-size:7pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:7.5pt;margin-left:7.5pt;margin-bottom:0.0001pt;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Symbol;color:rgb(102,102,102)"><span style="font-stretch:normal;font-size:7pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'"> </span></span><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(102,102,102)"><a href="https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/content/documents/8141Interactive%20Dialogue%201%20-%20Poverty%20and%20Hunger.pdf" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:8.5pt;color:rgb(26,146,183);border:1pt none windowtext;padding:0in;text-decoration:none">Interactive Dialogue 1 - Ending poverty and hunger</span></a></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:7.5pt;margin-left:7.5pt;margin-bottom:0.0001pt;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Symbol;color:rgb(102,102,102)">·<span style="font-stretch:normal;font-size:7pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'">
