Dear WSIS+20 Network,

The GE team would like to send out a reminder for an opportunity to 
provide public comments on proceedings for the ITU Council Working Group 
on International Internet-related Public Policy Issues (CWG-Internet). 
The deadline is 3 September.

ICANN plans to contribute comments as well and will share them when we do.

Here is the information we have shared to our website 
<https://www.icann.org/en/government-engagement/community-contribution-opportunities>: 


The ITU Council Working Group on International Internet-related Public 
Policy Issues (CWG-Internet) is holding an open consultation on “the 
developmental aspects to strengthen the Internet.” Stakeholders’ 
perspectives are sought on the following:


 1. How relevant multilateral and multi-stakeholder processes, including
    but not limited to UN-based processes such as Summit of the Future,
    WSIS+20 and the IGF, could address aspects related to Internet
    development?
 2. What are the challenges and opportunities, good practices and
    favourable policy environments to strengthen the Internet, including
    in areas such as: fostering meaningful connectivity; equitable
    access for all; promoting a secure and resilient Internet; achieving
    universal access, the deployment of IPv6; using satellite
    communication to reach remote and underserved remote areas; ensuring
    services are affordable for people; promoting digital inclusion and
    skills; fostering multi-stakeholder participation and encouraging
    public and private sector investment in Internet infrastructure.
 3. How can we promote international multistakeholder cooperation on
    public policy issues that are focused on promoting the development
    aspects of the Internet?

*Note, a physical consultation will be held in October 2024. Refer to 
the ITU link for more information.*
