Thanks for this, @schmudde. I have not looked at the IGF for several years now – is it perceived as a forum for discussing tech standards and interoperability issues, or are values being discussed as well?
Maybe my question is a bit unclear. I am interested in how values (for example, the inclusivity you mention) are encoded into technical choices. In the course of this project we have seen several examples at the level of the single technology (see). The IGF operates at a higher scale, and I am curious about the kind of discussions it hosts around what we have been called “the human-centric Internet”.
The UN is a club of states, and its power to override states are limited by design. So, I struggle to imagine, say, a discussion with Russia on how to fight disinformation online…
