The Internet Governance Forum facilitated by the United Nations in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, Nov. 15-18, 2009, is the fourth in a series of five planned global events. It has attracted more than 1,500 stakeholders from more than 100 nations for a discussion of ideas and ideals as they relate to the future of information and communication technologies. The basic purpose of IGF is to maximize the opportunities the Internet offers, addressing risks and challenges while raising awareness of the development dimension of Internet governance. The program for the meeting was developed by a 56-member Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) in a year-long process involving several face-to-face meetings facilitated by the United Nations Internet Governance Forum Secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland. The chairman of the MAG is Nitin Desai, special adviser for Internet Governance to the UN secretary general.|
