Description
This session/roundtable seeks to explore the modern day rationale for ICANN's policy of "One World. One Internet." In time of enhancing splinternet, prevailing cybersovereignity trends and states taking forever more effective measures to ensure their jurisdiction over what they consider to be "their" part of cyberspace. It is in this context that ICANN's global stewardship role has grown more significant than ever. This session seeks to explore how to best justify ICANN's "One world. One Internet" policy in the face of global disruptive trends. It specifically looks at national and regional security and privacy laws as well as new communication protocols (DoH/DoT), seeking to find how they attend or add to this challenge.
The desired outcome of this session is to identify and present to the ICANN community a coherent, comprehensive narrative on why "One world. One internet" remains a valid policy narrative in the time of disruptive global trends and how to best communicate it to the different stakeholders outside ICANN.
