It’s not good enough, @NYCMayor, to be horrified. We pay you to protect all New Yorkers, and this doesn’t happen with statements. It’s time to change the rhetoric and find your way as a mayor for all citizens, and not just some.
I am horrified by the assault at Central Synagogue during services today. I can only imagine the pain and fear an attack like this, during Shabbat services, causes for the congregation and for Jewish New Yorkers across our city.
Every New Yorker must be able to observe their religion without fear of violence. This despicable act has no place in our city, and our administration will do everything in our power to keep Jewish New Yorkers safe.
The alleged perpetrator is in custody and there is no known ongoing threat in or around the synagogue. We are in close contact with the NYPD and will share more information as it becomes available.
Great news for the @intgovforum and for the Internet community, which participates in that unique meeting space. @UNDESA and the IGF Secretariat have a very challenging task to work on the *now permanent* IGF, to make it even better!
ICANN has announced a one-time US$ 1million contribution to the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) to support its long-term sustainability, operations, and global participation.
This contribution follows the WSIS+20 process, through which UN Member States agreed to establish the IGF as a permanent forum, and reflects ICANN’s commitment to the multistakeholder model of Internet governance.

During @ICANN 85 in Mumbai, @UNESCO highlighted the importance of multilingualism and #UniversalAcceptance for a more inclusive Internet.
The meeting marked a milestone in consultations on the upcoming joint Policy Brief on #UA, an integral part of the @ICANN-UNESCO partnership.
Starting tomorrow, Bulgaria will join the Eurozone, and the official currency in the country will be the Euro. Great day for Bulgaria!
A long process has come to a successful end, but the journey continues! Happy to have been part of it since before #WSIS in Geneva! Bulgaria is a firm supporter of the multistakeholder model of Internet governance, maybe because it adopted it even before the model was defined.
Today, the General Assembly adopted the Outcome Document of the High-Level Meeting on the overall review of the implementation of the outcomes of the World Summit Information Society.
Through partnership and collective action, together we can advance towards a people-centred, inclusive, and development-oriented information society.
Interview with @ICANN's CEO, on the history & future of #InternetGovernance - with focus on #WSIS and the negotiations at the @UN. 9 minutes, full with useful information about a process that might not be followed by many, but should be followed by all.

Important for folks in Africa -
One of the most important @UN processes has just started in New York. You can watch it live here:

Spring in New York City. I wonder if @nycgov would rename @CentralParkNYC to Liberty Central Park? Different parks in NYC have names, but this one is just “Central Park”?! Naming it “Liberty” would be also complimenting the Statue of Liberty.

Meeting today with @ICANN CEO Mr. Kurtis Lindqvist. The EU will continue to support the multistakeholder model of Internet governance. We are looking forward continue collaborating closely with ICANN in these important times.
Was great to be at that meeting yesterday!
The #WSIS+20 Review is our chance to look back on what we have achieved, pinpoint gaps, and most importantly, focus on strengthening digital cooperation going forward, including guiding the implementation of the Global Digital Compact.
ALT Here I am delivering my opening remarks at the Demystifying WSIS+20 session on reinforcing multistakeholderism
Happening now. @ITU, @FinlandGeneva and @ICANN co-host a briefing for diplomats and ITU Council members in Geneva to discuss #WSIS and WSIS+20.
Interesting proposals by Russia and other countries to the @ITU on changes in the multistakeholder model of #InternetGovernance and proposal for the work of the UN ODET (@UNTechEnvoy). Read the whole document itu.int/md/S25-CWGWSIS42-C-0…
Some great people have been selected by the UN Secretary-General António Guterres to serve on the Internet Governance Forum MAG. See the list here and find the people you know among them: intgovforum.org/en/content/m…
Anyone can go to the IGF!

Making sure we provide facts, when we see misconceptions about @ICANN and the multistakeholder model of #InternetGovernance. In this case - an article on the Russian Foreign Affairs Council website got some things wrong.
