P
re event the 8th Annual Internet Governance Forum
is starting today, Monday 21st, October 2013, in Nusa
Dua, Bali. The IGF is a forum for multi-stakeholder
dialogue on public policy related to Internet governance
issues, such as the Internet’s sustainability, robustness,
security, stability and development. IGF was formally
announced by the United Nations Secretary-General in
July 2006. The IGF is closely tied to the declaration of
the Milennium Development Goals (MDG), Section 555/2,
in 2000, and the agreement reached upon by the World
Summit on Information Society (WSIS), Section 060.1, in
2005.
The purpose of the IGF is to maximize the
opportunity for open and inclusive dialogue and the
exchange of ideas on Internet governance related issues;
create feedback loops between the different types of
sessions; create opportunities to share best practices and
experiences; listen, dialogue and learn as well as identify
key themes that would, in the future, benefit from the multi-
stakeholder perspective of the IGF.
Deputy Chair of ID-IGF Shita Laksmi said to IGF
2013 Daily News, “The active Indonesian Internet civil
society invites the global civil society to join us in Bali for
relevant debates and dialogue that matter to all internet
users. The IGF is really important for better transparent and
accountable Internet governance, globally.” Yes globally,

What will Indonesia have in return for hosting the
IGF 2013 in Bali?
This is a momentum for us to learn and be learned
from other countries. The internet is a complicated
space that concerns not only communication, but also
economic, legal, human rights, privacy, and many
other issues. Because of this complexity, a dialogue on
internet governance requires a multi-stakeholder forum
that involves the government, the business sector, and
civil society organizations. This is a reason to host the
IGF as a forum to discuss best practices in internet
governance. And, certainly, Indonesia can learn a lot
from this event.
How important is this forum for internet users in
Indonesia?
This upcoming forum is important because everyone
has equal rights to speak up. It is a place for us to
lobby, to see what issues are crucial, and to explore
what we can do collaboratively. The forum is open to
academicians, civil society organizations, government
agencies, businesses, technical experts, and other
communities.
Everybody can participate in the dialogues and learn
from each other.
What will they get from the forum?
The network , in particular, because global decision-
makers on internet governance will be attending.
Anyone can learn from other countries about different
internet governance mechanisms and their benefits for
different communities.
What is the relevance of the forum for Indonesia?
Internet governance is an extremely complicated
subject. By joining this event, it will be much easier
for us to draw a connection from global internet
governance issues to Indonesia.
Is there any specific requirement for the
participants?
IGF is an inclusive event. There are no specific
requirements to join and it is free. All you need is to
register on the link searchable from www.igf2013.or.id.
This registration system should be approved by the IGF
Secretariat at the UN soon.
Is it aired live?
There are 150 workshops and forums open to the
public.Attending such events would be an ideal learning
experience; however, live streaming and updates are
provided via an official site (igf2013.or.id) for those who
are unable to attend in person. IGF live reports can be
