Why we need youth leadership and involvment in Internet governance process ?



Internet has been very dynamic in its operation, management and logistic. From the day it was created to this day it has been very dynamic about its growth and popularity but very stable and fixed about its core values. To this day it has proved that controlling and trying to rule internet is not a question of efforts or argument but it is an issue of its management and operation. Like the 4 core values of internet, it needs to be open and collaborative in every aspect of its cooperation and existence.     

Core values of Internet 
  1. End to End Principle
  2. Open standards
  3. Freedom of Expression (FoE) 
  4. Universal Access
Though created as a military project, internet  has currently adopted the form of basic human rights and is growing to the extent of making lives easier and sustainable. 
With a long history of infiltration and surveillance, internet has never been separated from being limited within a community or limitd values. It has always been dynamic and adaptive in every action and in communication process. It's progressive nature created its popularity where it grew from a small network to a hub of  world of world wide web that is easily accessible, reliable and safe. 

With this growth and development today internet is not just the property of the people who developed it but has significantly stood as a representation of human achievement and endurance.

Today when we talk about Internet governance, we certainly make a point of highlighting  the concept of multitstakeholderism. It is basically  a dynamic concept of idealizing and accepting the values of cooperation and collaboration with respect to stakeholders and their  respected jobs where the role of stakeholder cannot be ignored. IG is process driven by various stakeholders at levels of communication. 

The basic reason for youth involvement in the IG process are given as below    
  1. Leadership 
  2. Communication
  3. Equality and open standards 
  4. Collaboration and cooperation 
  5. Adaptation
  6. Innovation
  7. Dynamism 
  8. Growth and development
