Session
The IGF as mandated by the General Assembly is the most diverse, inclusive and effective global platform for an open multi-stakeholder dialogue on all questions related to Internet Governance. We believe that this form of a global dialogue with all involved stakeholders is indispensable for a free, open, secure and accessible Internet in accordance with the IGF’s mandate of the United Nations. Therefore the German IGF community as host of the IGF 2019 invites the international IGF community to an open discussion on possibilities to strengthen the IGF further. The discussion is hosted by the German Ministry of Economic Affairs and German Federal Foreign Office jointly with the German IGF community. Format of the Session: Brief introductory statements of moderators and from some speakers with short presentations (30 min. in total) and then open discussion with the entire audience (30 min).
