In its Communication on Web 4 and Virtual Worlds, the EC acknowledged the need to engage internationally with the multistakeholder community on a broad scope of technical and content issues. It also emphasised that this technological shift may involve new forms of governance, reconsidering current mandates of current internet governance institutions and whether other (existing or to be built) institutions should be involved. The results collected through the consultation link below will feed into the development of guiding principles for the governance of virtual worlds and Web 4.0. Further details can be found here.
