    Targets: Internet is a cornerstone of democracy and enormous digital economy today. But Internet have some challenges such as gap in connectivity, information integrity, Internet shutdowns and network restrictions. Therefore appropriate multi-stakeholder Internet governance is essential to address such challenges and realize an open, free, interoperable, reliable and secure Internet based on democratic values.It is also expected that appropriate Internet governance will contribute to the improvement of poverty and inequality (SDGs 1,10), the promotion of inclusive economic growth and innovation (SDGs 8,9), and the realization of sustainable development (SDGs17).
