It includes chapters on different community initiatives like community media centers, neighborhood ICT centers, and public WiFi. The key findings are that volunteers are very important but need better support, organizations should collaborate by seeking each other out, there is untapped knowledge around community organizations, technology can help organizations as well as communities, organizations represent communities but need to better listen to them, and the social and financial value provided by organizations needs more recognition. The document provides recommendations for digital media centers, such as using social media, writing project summaries, sharing them online, connecting with other relevant organizations, and charging for services when appropriate.

Work continues on accountability topics through ICANN's Work Stream 2.
Open Innovation Networks And Virtual Worlds Best Practices Research StudyRandall Sisam
The document discusses open innovation networks and virtual worlds. It provides an overview of how companies are using online communities and virtual worlds to seed innovation. Some key points:
- Best-in-class companies are using online communities for market research, seeding innovation, community building, and brand building.
- Communities are being used to get feedback on products to help with development, testing, and enhancements. They also help foster internal innovation.
- Virtual worlds are being used for market research studies to help companies build a strong presence, understand what offerings would be received well, and test new offerings. This allows insights from early adopters.
The Research Data Alliance (RDA) aims to facilitate open sharing of data across technologies and disciplines to address societal challenges. There are two main components - the volunteer community that builds social and technical connections through Working Groups, and the business operations that support the community.

Journalists and media professionals are also encouraged to participate. A guide for getting involved in internet governance is provided.
Сетевые адреса для операторов связи для формирования белых списковArtem Kozlyuk
Роскомнадзор составил «белый список» из более чем 2000 интернет-ресурсов, которые нельзя блокировать: https://rublacklist.net/29160/
Список, рождённый по результатам «интернет-войны», в который входят в основном государственные сайты, а также популярные интернет-сервисы, надзорное ведомство рассылает всем российским операторам связи.
Как вам, такая доменная маска в этом списке, по которой нельзя ничего блочить:
«*.google.*»
Роскомнадзор как бы намекает: делай на своём сайте домен третьего уровня с наименованием "google" и тебе ничего не будет - ты защищён от блокировок именем государства!
Ещё одна порочная списочная система, теперь "белая" (к слову, незаконная и чистая неправомерная самодеятельность со стороны надзорного ведомства) начинает набирать обороты абсурда с ходу.

Роспотребнадзор ради принятия закона «о торговых агрегаторах» пошёл на подлог документов: https://rublacklist.net/26655/
Лоббисты, действующие через Роспотребнадзор, настолько хотят окончательно «зарегулировать» торговые агрегаторы, что решили совершить в явном виде подлог документов: перед внесением в Госдуму заменили одну, согласованную версию законопроекта на другую, изначальную, ущербную и отвергнутую экспертами при государственных ведомствах. При этом к законопроекту были прикреплены отзывы от министерств, данные на другую версию проекта закона.

ICANN
• ICANN coordinates the Internet's address book
• The systems ICANN coordinates help you find things on the
Internet and connect with friends and colleagues
• Computers/devices work with numbers, humans remember
letters and names
• The Domain Name System (DNS) coordinates names and
the corresponding numbers
• Names and numbers must be unique
• Unique assignment creates the global, unified, single
Internet
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
(ICANN)

Who are stakeholders?
Stakeholders?
• Democracy: all affected individuals and the right to
vote
• Multistakeholder: all affected perspectives
represented
o Challenge: achieving representation and
meaningful participation
4. | 4
Typical stakeholders today
• Government
• Private Sector
• Civil Society
• International Organizations
• Internet Technical Community
• Academic Community
• Internet end users
(ICANN)

First ideas about the multistakeholder model
Characteristics
• Issue specific stakeholder organizations
• Decentralised and international
• Bottom-up
• Not monolithic, evolving
• Larry Strickling (2015)
multistakeholder approach involves the full
involvement of all stakeholders, in consensus-based
decision-making, operating in an open, transparent
and accountable manner
6. | 6
Characteristics – multistakeholder approach
• Bottom-up: stakeholders define issues, identify and
devise solutions (anyone missing?)
• Consensus based: decisions acceptable with
widespread support, and no strong or reasoned
opposition (can you live with it?)
• Inclusive, open, participative and diverse: avoidance of
barriers and reduce disadvantage (capacity building)
7. | 7
Characteristics – multistakeholder approach
• Transparent: documented processes following agreed
procedures, decisions explained, accessible
• Accountable: decisions and decisions making processes
justifiable, mechanisms of review and redress, checks
and balances
• Supportive of meaningful participation: Actively seek to
involve stakeholders, enable participation in processes
• Flexible: future oriented and able to accommodate
change
8. | 8
Challenges – multistakeholder approach
• Balancing stakeholders interests (ensuring no over-
dominance of one) and resourcing decisions
• Representing the interests of those who are marginalized,
voiceless, unable to be at the table
• Stakeholder attention and contribution (volunteers vs.
non-volunteers)
• Sustainable working relationship based on trust, mutual
respect, open communication and understanding about
each other’s strengths and weaknesses
• Ensuring that the long-term interest of the public is not
harmed by negotiated outcomes among stakeholders
