UNCTAD Internet Governance discussion: an insider’s view on why it failed
The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation (WGEC) held what was supposed to be its last meeting in Geneva on 24-28 February, but failed to agree certain key issues so it will meet again on 7-9 May
As Richard Hill for IP Watch explains, the WGEC were difficult, and it proved impossible to reach consensus on the key issue of “enhanced cooperation” to address Internet governance.
