Internet Governance Forum 2009, "Taking Stock and Looking Forward" main session, Intervention by Heather Creech

An intervention by Heather Creech on behalf of the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) at the 2009 Internet Governance Forum (IGF) supporting the renewal of the Forum's mandate while calling for broader stakeholder inclusivity.

• Heather Creech, representing the IISD, supports the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) and advocates for the renewal of its mandate for a second five-year term.
• Despite its multistakeholder mandate, the IGF is criticized for being insufficiently inclusive, particularly regarding social and economic development and the environment, which are poorly represented or absent.
• The intervention suggests that any renewal of the IGF's mandate should include a specific directive to expand its stakeholder engagement to address broader challenges.
