This is the tenth IGF, and the theme this year is: “Evolution of Internet Governance: Empowering Sustainable Development.” The IGF is a global, open, and inclusive venue in which attendees share views, concerns, and experiences on current Internet issues and, by doing so, demonstrate the value of the multistakeholder processes that have made the Internet an engine of global economic growth and innovation. The U.S. Government looks forward to the dialogue in workshops and other collaborations with Internet stakeholders, including members of governments, industry, civil society, academia, and the technical community.
