We continue to add participants from other world regions as appropriate collaborative relationships are forged.
What is the goal and purpose of IGP?The goal of the Internet Governance Project (IGP) is to:
* Inform and shape Internet public policy choices by providing independent analysis and timely recommendations.
* Identify and analyze new possibilities for improving global governance institutions
* Develop policy positions guided by the values of globalism, democratic governance and individual rights.
Our work contributes to policy discussions and related debates at the global, international, regional and national levels. The IGP is active in international institutions like the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), Regional Internet Registies (RIRs) like ARIN and RIPE, the UN Internet Governance Forum (IGF), and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD-ICCP).
