Round Table - Circle - 60 Min
➢ From a personal experience, what do you consider as key components of an ‘internet of trust’?
➢ How do the actions of stakeholders influence your experience of the internet in terms of security, safety, stability and resilience?
➢ What are your options for digital connection when working and living in an environment where the internet is not secure, safe, stable or resilient, e.g. in countries where internet shutdowns are regularly applied, and areas where there is limited coverage?
➢ What or who do you consider as the biggest threats to internet security, safety, stability and stability? How does the lack of a stable, secure, resilient safe internet affect human rights in general, and free expression in particular?
➢ What are your recommendations for building an ‘internet of trust’? Are the particular groups whom you think should benefit from targeted actions to improve their experience in terms of the stability, security, resilience and safety of the internet?

The IGF provides an opportunity for diverse representation at the session, which will reflect in the discussion and engagement.
Relevance to Internet Governance: The end-user should be the most important consideration in the internet ecosystem and the development of ICT policies. The session is relevant to IG because it highlight’s the end-user’s experiences and perceptions of the internet in relation to safety, security, resilience and stability. It will provide important insights for policy makers, researchers, and those tasked with the safety, security, resilience and stability of the internet.
