The Internet Governance Forum or IGF is a platform wherein stakeholders from industry, government, and civil society can discuss issues related to Internet governance. It was established to provide the necessary support for the United Nations Secretary General in conducting the mandate from the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS). The IGF was formally established in 2006 as one outcome of the second phase of WSIS. The first IGF meeting took place in Athens, Greece, with Internet Governance for Development as its theme.
