Overview

This session is an opportunity for the ICANN community to hear about recent developments and upcoming events related to Internet Governance, and how such developments may be relevant to ICANN.
In late 2012, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) will host two world conferences, the World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), and the World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT). Both conferences are addressing issues relevant to the global Internet Governance discourse, and their outcomes may have an impact on various parts of the Internet space.

Discussion in this session will focus on:
•    a factual overview of the issues and forums where Internet governance will be considered in the upcoming year
