>>>>> The question is now whether the layout of the Cluster 4

>>>>>
>>>>> Also, it will be important to have a panelist from our DC, but

>>>>> such panelist, we can add a few words about what

>>>>> This panel will focus on exploring the evolving landscape of
>>>>> multistakeholder governance in this digital age, with a focus
>>>>> on the outcomes of WSIS+20 and ensuring that all communities,
>>>>> including marginalized communities, persons with disabilities,
>>>>> and young adults and children, as active participants in
>>>>> shaping the future of IGF. It also considers the application
>>>>> of multistakeholder governance principles to different
>>>>> networks for instance, the delay and fault-tolerant networks
>>>>> like the Interplanetary networks. With the speed at which the
>>>>> digital transformation advances and the IGF serving as a
>>>>> global platform for inclusive dialogue, the session will
>>>>> examine how current multistakeholder models can adapt to
>>>>> better reflect the perspectives and rights of younger generations.
>>>>>
>>>>> The Dynamic Coalition on Accessibility and Disability (DCAD)
>>>>> emphasizes that the future of multistakeholder governance must
>>>>> be genuinely inclusive—not only in principle but in practice.
>>>>> As technologies evolve, ensuring the active participation of
>>>>> persons with disabilities at every stage of policy
>>>>> development, decision-making, and implementation is critical
>>>>> to the legitimacy and sustainability of governance processes.
>>>>>
>>>>> DCAD’s ongoing initiatives, such as the DCAD Fellowship
>>>>> Program for Persons with Disabilities, provide a tangible
>>>>> model for promoting inclusive participation. By supporting
>>>>> fellows to engage meaningfully in the IGF process, DCAD
>>>>> demonstrates that providing targeted capacity-building
>>>>> opportunities leads to stronger, more diverse multistakeholder
>>>>> dialogues.
>>>>>
>>>>> Looking ahead, DCAD advocates for embedding accessibility and
>>>>> disability inclusion systematically into the IGF and broader
>>>>> Internet governance ecosystem. Future governance models must
>>>>> move beyond tokenism to ensure that persons with disabilities
>>>>> are recognized as active contributors in decision-making
>>>>> processes, in line with the UN Convention on the Rights of
>>>>> Persons with Disabilities (UN-CRPD) and the vision of a
>>>>> people-centered, inclusive, and sustainable information
>>>>> society outlined in the WSIS and Global Digital Compact
>>>>> frameworks.
>>>>>
>>>>> By institutionalizing accessibility standards and ensuring
>>>>> that persons with disabilities participate not just as
>>>>> observers but as decision-makers, the IGF can set a global
>>>>> benchmark for inclusive, equitable, and effective
>>>>> multistakeholder governance.
>>>>>
>>>>> Those taking part will discuss practical strategies for
>>>>> ensuring that children are not only made to be represented at
>>>>> the table but are meaningfully engaged at the decision-making,
>>>>> in line with the WSIS vision of a people-centered, inclusive,
>>>>> and sustainable information society. Referring to General
>>>>> Comment # 25, para 16 - 18, multistakeholder governance should
>>>>> adhere to respect for the views of the child, i.e. young
>>>>> people under the age of 18 (UN-CRC).
>>>>>
>>>>> The DC on Core Internet Values will remind all participants of
>>>>> the values on which the Internet was built on, introducing a
>>>>> parallel that the points made in this session are themselves
>>>>> core internet governance values - with multistakeholder
>>>>> governance being pivotal to the past, the present and the
>>>>> future of Internet governance.
