16. Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
17. Partnerships for the Goals
Targets: The international community that Platform Internet Standards launches at the IGF focuses on strengthening digital cooperation between countries and organisations, to create a more secure digital environment and heightened trust for all internet users. The deployment of internet standards that the tool promotes empowers not only digital security but also leads to a more resilient infrastructure and promotes more peaceful and inclusive societies. The more secure the internet becomes for all its users, the more economic development on the internet will thrive, bringing the sustainable development goals closer to fruition.

Description
Last October, Platform Internet Standards celebrated the 10 year anniversary of Internet.nl, an open source testing tool to check your website and e-mail provider on the compliance of modern internet standards. Having its origin in the Netherlands, the Internet.nl source code has since then been reused globally, including Brazil, Singapore, France and Denmark. The combination of public-private collaboration and a widely available, easy-to-use test tool has resulted in increased adoption of modern internet standards in these countries. For further increase in internet standards adoption, a new international initiative is announced.
To empower the digital security, Platform Internet Standards launches at the IGF 2025 an International User Community with six main goals:
- To foster and grow the level of support, interaction and coordination between the current users of the internet standards testing tool;
- To attract partners in new countries and regions;
- To support new partners in their adoption of the testing tool in the country/region as a community;
- To exchange knowledge and experience on measuring internet standard adoption, including methods to effectively improve adoption within countries;
- To gain better insight into each other’s successes and learn from challenges; and
- To gather new insights and ideas to contribute to the future development of the internet standards test tool.
The community is open for anyone that has interest in (re)using the internet standards test tool as well as for those who apply different ways of adoption measurement. It is the Platform’s firm belief that international collaboration, combined with regionalized and localized approaches, can improve the adoption of internet standards globally.
The IGF, as the global event that celebrates and underscores internet governance, is the ideal platform to launch this new governance platform. The new community aims for international digital cooperation, contributes actively to heighten the trust of using the internet and contributes to realising at least three of the SDGs, in other wording: Building Digital Governance Together.
