The leaders of organizations responsible for coordination of the
Internet technical infrastructure globally have met in Montevideo,
Uruguay, to consider current issues affecting the future of the
Internet.
The Internet and World Wide Web have brought major benefits in social
and economic development worldwide. Both have been built and governed
in the public interest through unique mechanisms for global
multistakeholder Internet cooperation, which have been intrinsic to
their success. The leaders discussed the clear need to continually
strengthen and evolve these mechanisms, in truly substantial ways, to be
able to address emerging issues faced by stakeholders in the Internet.
In this sense:
They reinforced the importance of globally coherent Internet
operations, and warned against Internet fragmentation at a national
level. They expressed strong concern over the undermining of the trust
and confidence of Internet users globally due to recent revelations of
pervasive monitoring and surveillance.
They identified the need for ongoing effort to address Internet
Governance challenges, and agreed to catalyze community-wide efforts
towards the evolution of global multistakeholder Internet cooperation.
They called for accelerating the globalization of ICANN and IANA functions, towards an environment in which all stakeholders, including all governments, participate on an equal footing.
They also called for the transition to IPv6 to remain a top priority globally. In particular Internet content providers must serve content with both IPv4 and IPv6 services, in order to be fully reachable on the global Internet.
