> About the IGF
>
> The Internet Governance Forum (IGF) serves to bring people together from
> various stakeholder groups as equals in discussions on public policy issues
> relating to the Internet. While the IGF has no negotiated outcomes, it
> serves the important function of informing and inspiring those with
> policymaking power in both public and private sectors.
>
> The IGF facilitates a common understanding of how to maximise Internet
> opportunities and address risks and challenges that arise. One of the ways
> in which it does so is through its intersessional activities, which are
> conducted following recommendations
> <http://unctad.org/meetings/en/SessionalDocuments/a67d65_en.pdf> from the
> UN CSTD Working Group on Improvements to the IGF and form part of a broader
> effort by the IGF community to produce more tangible outputs to “enhance
> the impact of the IGF on global Internet governance and policy”.
>
> About the IGF’s intersessional activities
>
> The IGF Best Practice Forums (BPFs)
> <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/best-practice-forums-4>
> continue to offer unique platforms to investigate topical Internet policy
> challenges by collecting community input and experiences in a flexible and
> bottom-up manner. Through their substantive outreach efforts and continued
> calls for input and contributions, the BPFs have already enabled more
> diverse and varied participation in IGF processes, including from a richer
> variety of regions and stakeholder groups. By continuously involving new
> people in their work, the various BPFs also contributed to enlarging the
> global footprint of the IGF.  BPFs worked throughout the year in an open
> and inclusive way via open mailing lists, regular virtual meetings, and BPF
> workshops during the 11th IGF meeting in Guadalajara, Mexico, from 6 to 9
> December 2016.

> About the BPF Gender
>
> The BPF Gender’s second publication, entitled ‘Overcoming Barriers to
> Enable Women’s Meaningful Internet Access
> <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/index.php?q=filedepot_download/3406/437>’,
> builds on its work in 2015, when it also published an extensive resource
> <http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/documents/best-practice-forums/623-bpf-online-abuse-and-gbv-against-women/file.>
> on online abuse and gender-based violence. In 2016, the BPF furthermore
> produced a user-friendly infographic roadmap
> <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/index.php?q=filedepot_download/3406/185>
> for addressing online abuse and gender-based violence, based on the key
> recommendations for diverse stakeholder groups from its 2015 report. The
> BPF Gender is also partnering with ITU and UN Women’s EQUALS
> <http://equals.org> partnership, a global initiative aimed at addressing
> gender inequality, to raise awareness of its outputs. Further details of

>
> About the BPF Cybersecurity
>
> The 2016 IGF BPF on Cybersecurity
> <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/bpf-cybersecurity>
> built upon the previous work of the IGF CSIRTS and SPAM BPFs. Its work was
> also guided by the WSIS +10 review process which produced an outcome
> document
> <http://workspace.unpan.org/sites/Internet/Documents/UNPAN96078.pdf> with
> a strong focus on "building confidence and security in the use of
> information and communications technologies", making an IGF BPF related to
> cybersecurity even more relevant. The 2016 discussions and output report
> <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/index.php?q=filedepot_download/3405/453>
> addressed cooperation and collaboration on cybersecurity issues between
> stakeholder groups as an overarching theme.
>
> About the BPF on Internet exchange points (IXPs)
>
> The BPF Contributing to the Success and Continued Development of Internet
> exchange points (IXPs)
> <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/bpf-ixps> collected best
> current practices that have proven to contribute to building strong and
> successful IXPs. Exchanging traffic at an IXP has a number of benefits that
> can contribute to a more affordable, stable, faster and more reliable
> Internet of a higher quality in a region. The success of an IXP will be
> measured by its ability to sustainably contribute to the development of its
> local Internet ecosystem. The BPF on IXPs focused on the management and
> operation of an IXP and identified factors that can contribute to success.
>
> About the BPF IPv6
>
> IPv6 is the Internet’s addressing system that was developed to deal with
> IPv4 exhaustion and to make the Internet future-proof. The fast growing
> number of networks that already supports IPv6 today proofs that IPv6 is a
> technically feasible option for business. The BPF Understanding the
> commercial and economic incentives behind a successful IPv6 deployment
> <http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/bpf-ipv6> collected case
> studies on commercial experiences with IPv6 deployment to better understand
> challenges and incentives, and provide an opportunity to learn from each
> other.

> About Policy Options for Connecting and Enabling the Next Billion(s) -
> Phase II
>
> In 2016, the IGF furthered its seminal work on Policy Options for
> Connecting and Enabling the Next Billion(s) by investigating challenges
> and opportunities for addressing and overcoming barriers to meaningful
> Internet access, promoting meaningful access in diverse contexts and
> regions, and ensuring that meaningful access also supports the achievement
> of the UN sustainable development goals. Read the report here
