[Bob Omondi]

Dear listers.


On May 20, 2014: the *Panel on Global Internet Cooperation and Governance
Mechanisms *released the culmination of its work in a high level report
that can be viewed here <http://internetgovernancepanel.org/panel-report>.

This panel was formed alongside the work of ICANN’s four strategy
panels<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2013-07-15-en>as an
independent panel exploring the global issue of Internet governance,
and chaired by Estonia’s President Toomas Ilves, and vice-chaired by
Internet pioneer Vint Cerf, the Panel on Global Internet Cooperation and
Governance Mechanisms boasted an impressive cohort of
panelists<http://internetgovernancepanel.org/panel>,
representing a broad array of stakeholders from government, civil society,
the private sector, the technical community, and international
organizations. In addition, a team of experts in Internet governance helped
inform and energize discussions in support of the panelists.

I want to encourage you to read this report coming out at this exciting
time in the evolution of Internet governance discussions and building on
the historic Multistakeholder Statement of São
Paulo<http://netmundial.br/netmundial-multistakeholder-statement/>


Regards
Bob.
