Dear Colleagues,
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Over 800 people took a few minutes of their time to participate to a
<a href="http://www.internetsociety.org/doc/internet-governance-survey-2015">survey on Internet governance</a> conducted by The Internet Society (ISOC) in February. The objective of the survey was to primarily ask the Internet community
<strong><em>how we can strengthen mechanisms of the Internet governance ecosystem to better address policy challenges in 2015</em></strong>.
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">It was also designed to help ISOC contribute to current discussions on the evolution of the ecosystem (see ISOC’s
<a href="http://www.internetsociety.org/igtimeline/">Internet governance timeline</a>). Some of the issues include: preparations for WSIS+10; the future of the IGF; the appropriate role of new platforms like the NETmundial Initiative (NMI); and enabling a successful
IANA stewardship transition. </p>
