<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="color:black">The term “multistakeholder” (MS) is now claimed as a legitimizing feature of various international, Internet-related policy development entities. While in many ways the advance of MS governance
is a good thing, it also means that the term can be applied loosely or even deceptively. We need to ask what multistakeholderism really means in a particular policy environment, and we need to assess critically how organizations that adopt the label are set
up. </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="color:black">In our upcoming IGF workshop (Friday at 11:15 CET, 10:15 UTC) we showcase a set of criteria for analyzing and contrasting multistakeholder initiatives. We will then apply those criteria
to 3 recent initiatives related to content governance: the <b>Christchurch Call and its Advisory Network</b>, the
<b>Facebook Oversight Board</b>, and the <b>Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism (GIFCT)</b>. We will have representatives of all three initiatives on the panel as well as civil society advocates. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
