Title: Global Capacity Building for Internet Governance completed

Concise Description:
In recent years, developing countries, civil society organizations, and concerned academics have sought to promote broad development agendas in the international institutions and policy debates dealing with such issues as trade, debt, and intellectual property. But in the field of Internet Governance, such parallel initiatives have yet to take shape in adequate numbers and frequencies.
Accordingly, the purpose of this proposed Capacity Building workshop session is to begin a multistakeholder dialogue on the nature of a possible development agenda in Internet Governance.
