> "Why is the participation of the social sector in the Internet Governance
> important for everybody?"
>
> Description:
> There is an ongoing tension around the multi-sectored approach to Internet
> Governance as practiced by ICANN and affirmed by the WSIS process in Tunis.
> One of the main questions is if the social sector should be included in
> Internet Governance at all; and if so to what extent.
>
> The panelists will seek to provide answers to this question not only from
> the civil society sector perspective, but also
> from the private and governmental sector perspectives. The panel will
> inevitably explore other questions such as; Are there insurmountable
> differences in the different sectors approach to Internet Governance? or Can
> Internet Governance only function well if there exists a symbiotic
> relationship between sectors?
>
> The panel discussion will aim to close down the debate with a final proposal
> on how civil society can have improved interaction with other sectors
> involved and more engagement in Internet
> Governance processes.
