Dear , mediate Release ISOC Ghana to Organize Stakeholder Discussion on Internet & Openness Thursday, 4 April 2013The Internet Society Ghana Chapter (ISOC Ghana) is organizing a social event to discuss the future of the openness of the Internet. The Internet Society believes in and facilitates the open development of standards, protocols, administration, and the technical infrastructure of the Internet. In December last year, the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) convened the WorldConference on International Telecommunications (WCIT) in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This landmark conference sought to review the current International Telecommunications Regulations (ITRs), which serve as the binding global treaty designed to facilitate international interconnection and interoperability of information and communication services, as well as ensuring their efficiency and widespread public usefulness and availability. The multi-stakeholder approach adopted for the development of the Internet since its inception has served the Internet community well over the past years leading to breakthrough innovations. This approach was called into question at WCIT-12. The questions being asked are: ·Should the Internet continue to remain open or should governments be allowed to regulate its usage including determining what kind of content should be published on the internet? ·What will a governmental censorship of the Internet mean for the advancement of Internet related innovation and technology? ISOC Ghana Chapter is inviting officials from the National Communications Authority, National Information Technology Agency, Ministry of Communications, Civil Society and other interest groups to share their views on the subject and matters arising in the aftermath of the WCIT-12.
