Understand more, fear less: How the future of the Internet can be designed with a human face – Reflexions on the G20 ICT Ministerial meeting by Constance Bommelaer and Wolfgang Kleinw?chter

Last week, the G20’s ministers responsible for the digital economy met in D?sseldorf to prepare this year?s G20 summit, scheduled for Hamburg, July 2017. Building on important strides initiated two years ago during the G20 summit in Antalya and based on the G20 Digital Economy Development and Cooperation Initiative (DEDCI), which was adopted last year under the Chinese G20 presidency, the D?sseldorf meeting adopted a “G20 Digital Economy Ministerial Declaration” which includes also a “Roadmap for Digitalisation”. One day before the ministerial meeting, non-state actors were invited to discuss “Policies for a Digital Future” within a so-called Multistakeholder Conference.
