Relationship to Gamergate

David Sullivan, formerly the Global Network Initiative's first director of policy and communications, denounced[1] "gamergate trolls" for opposing the report "Cyber Violence Against Women and Girls" by the Working Group on Gender of the UN Broadband Commission for Sustainable Development. Sullivan praised the Association for Progressive Communications, which promoted the term Cyber Violence, and denied that the Internet Governance Forum would become a threat to online speech.

Founding

GNI was founded in 2008. Larry Downes reported on GNI as of 2011: [3]

Google, Yahoo and Microsoft were its charter corporate participants. But it has failed since then to sign up even one additional high-tech company. Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL), Chairman of the Senate Judiciary's Subcommittee on Human Rights and a long-time supporter of the group, has written repeatedly to the CEOs of the two companies [ Facebook and Twitter ] (and others) demanding that they sign on to the self-regulating GNI or face the alternative of government intervention in their dealings with certain countries.

The founding of GNI followed Durbin's call for "a voluntary code of conduct governing companies' operations in countries where internet freedom is restricted."[4]
