>> NOTES
>>
>> 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
>> this collaboration will soon be announced.
>>
>> 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
