GE edit

ICANN’s Government and Intergovernmental Organizations (IGOs) engagement team (GE) develops and implements a global strategy to engage with governments and intergovernmental organizations.[1] The GE team is comprised of political issue-based subject-matter experts who monitor and analyze government and IGO activities to ensure that ICANN has the necessary information and tools to address geopolitical issues impacting ICANN’s mission. The GE has been covering the discussions at the United Nations in New York since 2014. The GE also leads a multi-year educational effort, including regular workshops and seminars for diplomats as well as for relevant UN agencies, to provide factual information to the people negotiating Internet governance resolutions. The GE identifies potential avenues for collaboration on capacity-building activities for governments as part of a working plan with the ITU’s Development Sector (ITU-D); UNESCO on Universal Acceptance promotion; WIPO's Standing Committee on the Law of Trademarks, Industrial Designs, and Geographic Indications; the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development and United Nations Commission on Science and Technology for Development; and OECD through the Internet Technical Advisory Committee (ITAC). Since its inception, the GE has been publishing papers on government and IGO deliberations on Internet governance.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content
