Session Title: Outcome of G7 Ise-Shima Summit and Ministerial Meetings
In April and May 2016, Japan, as the G7 Presidency, organized the Ise-Shima Summit, ICT Ministers’ Meeting and Foreign Ministers’ Meeting. These meetings dealt with Internet governance, and produced outcome documents.
G7 leaders, with those documents, committed to “promote a multi-stakeholder approach to Internet governance which includes full and active participation by governments, the private sector, civil society, the technical community, and international organizations” and “collaborate to maximize the potential of the digitally connected world, and to address global challenges, bridge digital divides, realize inclusive development, and to achieve progress on the 2030 Agenda”. These commitments are consistent with the main theme of the IGF2016.
In this program, Japan and other G7 governments will report the G7 outcomes to the global multi-stakeholders beyond the G7, and they will discuss the role of multi-stakeholders for achieving the goals listed on the outcomes together.

WSIS Action Lines supporting the implementation of the SDGs - WSIS Forum: Information and Knowledge Societies for SDGs
This session will provide a platform for multistakeholder discussion and interaction on the WSIS Action Lines supporting the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. While providing a platform for discussing the implementation of WSIS Action Lines, this Open Forum will also offer stakeholders the opportunity to share and showcase real case studies from the ground while highlighting the WSIS Prize winners.
The vital role of ICTs as a catalyst for development is specifically recognized in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. ICTs are identified as targets in the SDG goals for education, gender equality, infrastructure, and in the implementation goal as a cross cutting tool to be utilized for the achievement of all SDGs. The effective implementation of the WSIS Action Lines can help accelerate the achievement of the SDGs. To that end, the WSIS-SDGs Matrix, developed by the UN Action Line Facilitators, clearly shows the linkage between each Action Line and the 17 SDGs and provides rationale for each.
WSIS Forum 2017 is scheduled to be held from the 12-16 of June in Geneva, Switzerland. The overall theme of the Forum is Information and Knowledge Societies for SDGs. The outcomes of this open session will feed in to the WSIS Forum 2017 Open Consultation Process.
Welcome remarks will be delivered by Ms Doreen Bogdan-Martin, Chief of Strategic Planning and Membership Department, ITU, setting the tone of the session, while the panelists will be invited to share their views on the WSIS implementation process, followed by the open discussion.
During this session the new Regional WSIS Stocktaking Report: ICT Projects and WSIS Action Lines Related Activities in Americas Region (2014-2016) will be launched.

Description of the workshop
The exhaustion of the IPv4 address supply has been predicted since the end of the 1980s. However, the large scale adoption of mobile devices and their associated IPv4 addressing needs accelerated the exhaustion timetable, and placed increased pressure on network operators to conserve IPv4 address.
This pressure has resulted in a marked increase in the use of technologies, such as Network Address Translation (NAT), that allow pools of addresses to be shared across multiple endpoints. These mechanisms enable the reuse of the limited pool of available IPv4 addresses, resulting in the number of connected endpoints vastly outnumbering the number of addresses in use in the public internet.
This has three important implications for Internet technology developers, and those who depend on certain behaviors of the technology.
Application designers need to consider the fact that an IP address does not necessarily identify an endpoint.
Law enforcement and forensic functions need to consider that an IP address alone may not be sufficient to correlate Internet activity observations with an endpoint; and even an IP address associated timestamp generally may not suffice.
Data retention mechanisms and policies that record or reference an IP address need to refactor their actions and requirements to consider that in increasingly large parts of the Internet, an IP address is merely a temporary identifier. Potentially large volumes of ancillary data are required to match an IP address to an endpoint.Description of the plan to facilitate discussion amongst speakers, audience members and remote participants
The workshop will be organized as a facilitated dialogue. Led by the moderator, subject experts will debate and discuss the key questions and issues. Subject experts will give opening comments, after which the moderator will turn to those attending the session and invited experts in the audience to engage in facilitated dialogue.
In addition to the background documents and papers that will be prepared ahead of the IGF, additional articles of interest, commissioned blogs, reference materials and social media conversations will be published and distributed ahead of the workshop.
