ISOC survey on Internet Governance attracts 800 participants

ITRealms:

 
An estimated 800 people participated in the Internet Society (ISOC) recently conducted online survey on Internet Governance (IG), reports ITRealms.
 

ISOC affirmed to ITRealms that in excess of 800 persons took a few minutes of their time to participate in a survey on Internet governance which held last February 2015. 

Senior Director, Global Internet Policy at ISOC, Constance Bommelaer, told ITRealms the objective of the survey was to primarily ask the Internet community “how we can strengthen mechanisms of the Internet governance ecosystem to better address policy challenges in 2015.”

ITRealms gathered that the survey was also designed to help ISOC contribute to current discussions on the evolution of the ecosystem.

Bommelaer pointed out that some of the issues included the preparations for World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS)+10; the future of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF); the appropriate role of new platforms like the NETmundial Initiative (NMI); and enabling a successful Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) stewardship transition.  

The results of the survey, Bommelaer said, are now available online, as well as a summary of the main takeaways.
