ICANN: Internet access beyond the elite requires 'hard work'

By Roberta Prescott ... 24/05/2017 ... Digital Convergence

Connecting the next billion people to the Internet will have
challenges yet to be overcome. This was the keynote address of ICANN
president Göran Marby at the regional event LACNIC27, which is being
held this week in Foz do Iguaçu.

Marby acknowledged that the organization participates few of these
events and spoke about the impacts of new user input. "I think we've
done the easiest part [so far], but over the next ten years, we're
going to have 1.5 billion users who use the internet and they're going
to be different: with more local content and languages," he said.

The ICANN president recalled that, while the Internet is global, it
needs local content. "We have to work to better understand how
Internet media can advance and stop being elite," he said, adding that
the internet is important because it connects and brings people
together.

Advancing the Internet means meeting the 1.5 billion new users and for
this, Marby pointed out, it will be necessary to "work hard". "They
will not only perceive the internet differently, they will use other
applications and they will have different demands and this will change
the perception of the connection," he said.

Marby also highlighted that the collaboration that exists in the Latin
American and Caribbean Internet community is a model to be followed by
the rest of the world. "For me, you have managed to work very close
and in ways that we can not do in other places in the world. We want
to know at ICANN how we can work to be more successful like you and we
want to support and [share] the same view, "he said.

Marby went beyond: he defended the multistakeholder model as the ideal
to solve the impasses of the Internet. "This model is ideal,
especially when there is a collision between what is local and what is
global," he added.
