On June 12, 2025, the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) Dynamic Coalitions (DCs) held their third Global Webinar with the theme ‘Future of Multi-stakeholder Governance‘.

The digital age is rapidly evolving, presenting both unprecedented opportunities and intricate governance challenges. As technologies increasingly intertwine with every aspect of human life, from livelihoods and healthcare to education, space exploration, and artificial intelligence, the need for inclusive, adaptable, and forward-looking governance models has never been more pressing.

This panel discussion aimed to explore how multistakeholderism must evolve to meet the demands of this dynamic landscape. Building on the key takeaways from WSIS+20, the session emphasizes equity, inclusion, and participation across all communities. Furthermore, the panel explores the application of multistakeholder governance to novel and emerging digital infrastructures, such as delay- and fault-tolerant networks like the Interplanetary Internet. These novel domains necessitate rethinking existing models and expanding stakeholder participation to encompass scientific, technological, and ethical perspectives across disciplines.
