yIGF in Singapore (16-18/6/2011)
One of the delegates Bernard Oi (PhD, NUS) said that after attended the yIGF and the subsequent ICANN meetings, he developed a much deeper appreciation the dynamics and politics behind global policy development. He also thought that the yIGF was a highly interactive and meaningful forum with the different stakeholder groups demonstrated how the issues were affecting their constituents with empirical evidences which presented a compelling case for their position and offered suggestions how all the stakeholders could work together This approach enabled the stakeholders to see correlations of these i broad consequences on all segments of today’s society.
Yet we do not just stop there. We would like to keep spreading our impact to other countries in Asia Pacific region. We hope a united youth force will arise in the future to make something great with the intercontinental collaboration.
