[kictanet] #KeIGF15 Online Discussions Day Five: Emerging Issues

[Barrack Otieno]

Listers,


This topic attempts to provide the space to discuss a variety of
emerging issues in the Internet space.

Question

1. The mandate of WSIS, a meeting of the UN that took place in 2005 in
Tunis is coming to an end. The WSIS process gave birth to the Internet
Governance Forum (IGF) which is up for renewal at  end of this year.
>From IGF discussions, there are no concrete proposals to form a
permanent UN body for Internet governance. However, the discussions
have borne many policies or “soft laws” that have guided relationships
various stakeholders. Should the mandate of WSIS be extended for a
further 10 years?
2. Should the government of Kenya support a renewal of WSIS?
3. Are there any other emerging issues that the Kenyan Internet
Community should pay attention to?

The floor is open
