A very similar thing was decided a couple of decades ago by the IGF, the Internet Governance Forum, working with the UN. So, the UN concluded at the time, and it’s up to renewal in a couple of years, so we don’t know, but at least during this time, the UN said, yeah, the internet is too wide ranged for the risk to be assessed by the ITU and the UN only. We need to have an open forum where, again, the multistakeholder groups can assemble by themselves, regardless of what their jurisdictional governments think about that. So, there need to be representatives from technical communities, civil society, the industry, and so on.
