The ITU Council Working Group on International Internet-related Public Policy Issues (CWG Internet) was established in 2010 by the ITU Plenipotentiary Conference. The Group, comprised of ITU Member States, meets bi-annually to identify, study and develop matters related to international Internet-related public policy issues.
Recognizing the importance of multi-stakeholder collaboration to address the complex and emerging questions related to such issues, the Group regularly holds public consultations on different topics, open to all stakeholders, with a view to soliciting diverse perspectives that can inform any new or ongoing work within the ITU and/or the UN on the subject.
Inputs on the topics can be submitted online, followed by an in-person multi-stakeholder meeting, with remote participation, at the ITU premises in Geneva, during the CWG-Internet meetings. This session aims to strengthen collaboration with the multi-stakeholder IGF community on international Internet-related public policy issues.
The Chair of ITU CWG-Internet will also join online to contribute to this session.
