Streamed live, September 4, 2014, from the Internet Governance Forum 2014 meeting at Istanbul, Turkey. ICANN holds an Open Forum at the IGF meeting every year to update participants on the progress that ICANN has made in its various processes since the last IGF. This year’s Open Forum was an opportunity for ICANN to engage in discussions with participants and exchange views with them on a number of developments that are underway such as:
• ICANN five-year strategic plan (2016-2020);
• ICANN Strategy Panels;
• Implementation of Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT) recommendations;
• New gTLD program; and
• Regional strategies and ongoing globalization efforts.
This was an interactive session with ICANN executives and representatives of its various constituencies engaging in an open dialogue with IGF participants on any ICANN related issues that might interest the audience. Panelists include ICANN President and CEO Fadi Chehadé and ICANN Board of Directors Chairman Stephen D. Crocker.

Today is final day of the Internet Governance Forum, IGF 2014, meeting at Istanbul, Turkey. More coverage at expvc.com.

Reminder: Governments and others are gathered in Istanbul, Turkey, this week (Sept. 2-5) at the Internet Governance Forum (ICANN representatives are present). The theme of this years IGF: "Connecting Continents for Enhanced Multistakeholder Internet Governance" --sub themes:

1. Policies enabling Access 
2. Content Creation, Dissemination and Use 
3. Internet as engine for growth & development 
4. IGF & The Future of the Internet ecosystem 
5. Enhancing Digital Trust 
6. Internet and Human Right 
7. Critical Internet Resources 
8. Emerging Issues 

Amnesty International says the prosecution of Twitter critics by the Government of Turkey is 'deeply hypocritical' since they are also hosting the Internet Governance Forum, where human rights is a key theme. 29 Twitter users are being tried in Izmir, Turkey, and face up to three years in jail for posting tweets during last year's protests that authorities claim 'incite the public to break the law'.
