Global Commission on Internet Governance

The Global Commission on Internet Governance, chaired by Carl Bildt and launched by two think tanks, the Canadian Centre for International Governance Innovation and UK-based Chatham House, was formed in January 2014 to make recommendations about the future of global internet governance.[1][2] It is also considered one of the international initiatives that facilitate effective cooperation between relevant international actors, particularly according to the principles of internet governance.[3]

Activities

The Commission's research advisory network, led by Laura DeNardis, produces original research on Internet Governance topics such as the dark web, cybersecurity, and internet freedom.[4] For instance, a research published in January 2017 entitled Who Runs the Internet? The Global Multi-stakeholder Model of Internet Governance described a "multistakeholder" framework wherein the management of the global Internet architecture is in the hands of a cluster of international stakeholders such as industry, academic and non-governmental actors.[5][6] There is a criticism from some countries against the current attempts at a multistakeholder process that cite how these appear to be led by Western nations.[7]
