[governance] [IP] WEF says it plans to build multilateral architecture to govern internet

[William Drake]

Hi

The ill-chosen wording has been pointed out to the WEF and the text has been changed.  It now says "a multistakeholder endeavour to stimulate more cross-industry and cross-ministry strategic dialogue on ways to strengthen multistakeholder Internet governance ‎and cooperation.”  This is a separate track of activity from the NMI/platform for collaborative projects.

>> “The Annual Meeting 2015 will provide a platform for over 50 initiatives that are currently being led by the Forum, with the aim of contributing positive, transformative change to the global agenda, as well as those of industry, business and the world’s regions. These include a public-private initiative to help achieve zero net tropical deforestation caused by key agricultural commodities by 2020; an endeavour to build a broad-based, multilateral global architecture for governing the internet; and the Forum’s Gender Parity Taskforces, which work with governments worldwide to improve economic opportunity for the female half of the population.”
