IGF11 Markus Kummer on the future of the Internet Governance Forum

Markus Kummer of the Internet Society, recently retired as the founding administrator of the UN-facilitated Internet Governance Forum, responds to the question "Will the Internet Governance Forum survive and still be relevant in 2015? Explain." Recorded by a documentary team from the Imagining the Internet Center at Elon University as part of a video survey of nearly 80 of the more than 1,000 participants in the 2011 Global Internet Governance Forum in Nairobi, Kenya. This was the first global IGF at which Kummer was not in charge of the UN's IGF secretariat.
