What were the Multistakeholder community achievements

[Benjamin Akinmoyeje]

Dear Farzii,
Thank you for these points; if I may add, my favorite reason why I support
the multistakeholder process is the legitimacy and trust it creates for
Internet governance. Also, it provides the opportunity for ownership of the
outcomes.
It has helped to reduce the existing digital divide to an extent,
especially for the global south.

These are my thoughts from here.🙂


Kind regards,
Benjamin
