• Lack of efficient tools and mechanisms to be used by countries to prevent
and prosecute crimes committed in other jurisdictions, using technological
means that might be located within or outside the territory where the crime
had a negative effect.
18.
Spam
No unified, coordinated approach.
• There is no global consensus on a definition of spam and no global
arrangement to address this matter or enable national anti-spam laws to be

plurilateral agreements between countries to enforce national anti-spam
laws, share best practices and cooperate on solutions.

Meaningful participation in global policy development
There are significant barriers to multi-stakeholder participation in
governance mechanisms.
• There is often a lack of transparency, openness and participatory processes.
• Participation in some intergovernmental organizations and other
international organizations is often limited and expensive, especially for
developing countries, indigenous peoples, civil society organizations, and

• There is a lack of a global mechanism for participation by Governments,
especially from developing countries, in addressing multisectoral issues

level domain names (gTLDs).

• The need for further development of policies for the management and
further development of the domain name space, though also due to the
inherent complexity of the matter, has a significant impact on key issues,
such as the equitable distribution of resources, access for all and
multilingualism.

IP addressing
Concerns over allocation policies for IP addresses.
• For historical reasons, there is an imbalance in the distribution of IPv4
addresses.
