Did You Know? 🌍 ICANN’s Bottom-Up Consensus Model Gives Everyone a Say in Internet Governance! At ICANN, decisions aren’t made from the top down. Instead, they are built from the ground up, ensuring that voices from all around the world contribute to shaping a safe, open, and reliable internet. This bottom-up consensus model allows diverse groups, from technical experts to governments, civil society, businesses, and everyday users, to have an equal say in critical internet policies. 🌐Here’s how this bottom-up approach works at ICANN: 1. Community-Led Discussions – Topics are brought to the table by anyone in the community, allowing for true grassroots input. 2. Open Debates – Through open meetings, stakeholders can raise questions, share concerns, and propose solutions, fostering transparency. 3. Consensus Building—Instead of simple voting, ICANN builds consensus through collaboration and ensures decisions benefit the broader community. 4. Policy Development Process – Policies are crafted through a structured, inclusive process, ensuring decisions reflect global needs rather than a single viewpoint. Think of it as a town hall where everyone’s voice is welcome, from individual internet users to major tech companies. This approach balances interests and ensures that internet policies serve everyone, not just a select few. This bottom-up consensus model makes ICANN unique and is essential to an open, trustworthy internet. 🌐 So, next time you use the internet, remember the collective effort that helps make it accessible and inclusive!
