The UK IGF has been running for several years as a collaborative partnership. While the model has been successful and provided a useful discussion forum and mechanism for discussing issues around the Internet in the UK, members of the partnership felt that it was time for the next step. In December 2010 it was agreed that a UK IGF steering committee should be established so that the UK IGF could be an identifiable entity in its own right and also be more representative of UK stakeholders. The committee will seek to develop the “voice of the UK IGF” and ensure that a wide range of topics and views are represented in the UK IGF.
The current members of the committee are:
Rt Hon Alun Michael MP (Chair)
Lord Richard Allan, Facebook
Martin Boyle, Nominet
John Carr, Children’s Charities Coalition for Internet Safety
Mark Carvell, DCMS
Susan Daley, Symantec
Lucinda Fell, Childnet International
