With the slogan ‘Internet Governance for Sustainable Human, Economic and Social Development,’ the seventh annual meeting of the United Nations Internet Governance Forum will take place in Baku, Azerbaijan, 6-9 November 2012. The Internet Governance Forum is a multi-stakeholder policy dialogue space first convened by the United Nations Secretary General in 2006 to discuss Internet policy issues. More than 1,500 policymakers, technologists, business sector representatives, Euro parliamentarians, intergovernmental organizations, civil society organizations, and others will be participating in the meeting.
