We actively participate in global Internet Governance processes: IGF, WSIS, regional forums, representing Independent Russia's voice.
We believe that Internet Governance requires the participation of all stakeholders in an environment of open dialogue and mutual respect.
Internet Governance is not a boring technical activity of narrow specialists. It is a fundamental process that determines the future of humanity in the digital age.
Decisions in Internet Governance affect:
The open and international character of the Internet is not an optional feature, it is its fundamental property, without which it ceases to be the Internet.
We are convinced that the multistakeholder governance model is the only viable approach. Governments, business, civil society and technical experts must work together.
