>> Excellencies, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen,
>>
>> It is my honor to participate in this 18th session of the CSTD and to
>> share with you the perspective of the Internet Society on the
>> opportunities
>> and challenges for the information society in 2015 and beyond.
>>
>> We've come a long way since the Tunis Agenda recognized the respective
>> roles and responsibilities of governments, businesses, civil society, and
>> the technical and academic communities in shaping the evolution of the
>> Internet ecosystem. In just the past 10 years, *we have made impressive
>> progress in implementing the goals laid out at the WSIS in Geneva and
>> Tunis*.
>> The Internet's infrastructure has expanded significantly and today more
>> than 3 billion people are online but access is not the ultimate goal. The
>> Internet should provide opportunities and should be a platform for
>> economic
>> and social opportunities and for the improvement and enjoinment of human
>> rights.
>>
>> Over the past decade, we have witnessed a shift of paradigm in the way
>> international cooperation is led. We've learned, that the most lasting
>> solutions derive from cooperation and mutual respect - principles that
>> have
>> proven to be key in the history of the development of the Internet
>> technology. We have made some impressive improvements in the
>> implementation
>> of these goals.
>>
>> The Internet works because its governance is open, inclusive,
>> collaborative, and transparent. And, over the years, the significance of
>> multistakeholder processes and partnerships has been clearly
>> demonstrated.
>> There are many examples; I'll share just two.
>>
>> The first is the *Internet Governance Forum*, the "IGF" where
>> governments, private sector, civil society and the technical community
>> come
>> together to share ideas and exchange knowledge to ensure the Internet
>> will
>> continue to remain open, secure and resilient for all. The IGF
>> community,
>> even though it is comprised of people from all walks of life and all
>> regions of the world, is united in its willingness to address concrete
>> issues, with a view to work towards tangible solutions. As a result, the
>> discussions at the IGF have been a catalyst in much of the Internet's
>> growth. 2015 marks the end of the second five-year renewal of the IGF,
>> and
>> its continuation will be discussed at the UN General Assembly at its
>> upcoming session. In light of the above, we strongly call for the renewal
>> of its mandate beyond 2015 and welcome Mexico's proposal at the last UN
>> General Assembly to host the 2016 IGF in their country.
>>
>> Multistakeholder processes are not always easy; they often takes times
>> and
>> hard discussions. But the results are also often more robust, efficient
>> and
>> legitimate as a consequence. We are firm believers that they are worth
>> our
>> efforts. Multistakeholder governance is not an end in itself; the
>> objective
>> is human development. Multistakeholder processes are not easy; they take
>> time but they result in more robust processes.
>>
>> In the same spirit, we believe that the upcoming preparations for the*
>> WSIS+10 High-Level event* in December, should be as inclusive as
>> possible., We call on the President of the General Assembly and the two
>> co-facilitators, as well as all the delegates present today, to
>> facilitate
>> effective participation of all stakeholders.
>>
>> *So where do we go Post-2015?* The Internet community - all stakeholders
>> - need to keep the momentum going forward and continue the hard work to
>> ensure that the 2005 WSIS targets continue to progress. As a global
>> organization of 71,000 members and 108 chapters in 92 countries, we at
>> the
>> Internet Society look forward to working with you all here at this
>> meeting
>> as well as all the other stakeholders not here to fulfill the ambitious
>> targets set out 10 years ago in Tunis. Establishing positive goals will
>> set
>> the course for a world where everyone can access a connected, borderless,
>> limitless Internet that provides opportunity and progress for all, and
>> will
>> also be essential to reach Sustainable Development Goals to be defined by
>> the U.N. this year.
>>
>> Thank you.
