IGF 2017 highlights need for greater dialogue

Recently I participated remotely in my first Internet Governance Forum —  IGF 2017  — which was held at the United Nations Office in Geneva, Switzerland from 18 to 21 December. From the comfort of our offices and homes, I (along with 1,660 other remote participants) was able to listen to and participate in a range of multistakeholder discussions surrounding emerging technologies and Internet governance-related issues on the theme of Shape Your Digital Future! Gaps between technical communities and policy makers Dialogue is an important component of the multistakeholder model — multiple parties come together to contextualize a problem and resolve it through information exchange. That said, it is difficult for different groups to let go of preconceptions.
