The statement emphasized the continued importance of the multistakeholder model in bridging digital divides and supporting the development of an open, secure, and inclusive Internet. It further urged member states to ensure an open and inclusive WSIS+20 review process, strengthen and institutionalize the IGF, avoid duplicating governance efforts, and support broader participation through existing mechanisms.
