Consensus met

2016-11-08 Underserved Regions

The GAC advises the ICANN Board to:

  1. Take required action to enable implementation of GAC Underserved Regions activities which includes but is not limited to capacity building and participation in ICANN policy processes.

Rationale

The multi stakeholder approach that is fundamental to ICANN has contributed to impressive collective efforts, towards developing complex policy and technical processes. However, it is imperative that we acknowledge and remain mindful that while the approach is meant to enable inclusiveness and diversity providing all stakeholders full voice and influence in ICANN decision-making, developing regions still face a multitude of challenges that constrain their participation. 

The GAC has developed a work plan that aims to address some of these challenges and provide recommendations.
