In order for the Internet Governance ecosystem to work effectively, it requires a variety of expertise and advice from different sectors and backgrounds. Drawing on the public Internet Governance Forum (IGF) participation lists from 2006 to 2019, this paper analyses how individual participants chose to identify themselves in the given frameworks applied across the IGFs, and how they ‘travel’ through the Internet Governance ecosystem over successive fora. Identifying 18,968 unique IGF participants from 2006 to 2019, representing 7326 unique organisations, this paper thus provides an unprecedented level of detail as to who is present in multistakeholder discussions. It sets the scene for a more reflective discussion on the inclusivity and effectiveness of the multistakeholder model pursued at the IGF and engages with literature in the field of stakeholder mobility and stakeholder interests, opening up potential for further research on the legitimacy of multistakeholderism.

为了使互联网治理生态系统有效运作，它需要来自不同部门和背景的各种专业知识和建议。本文利用 2006 年至 2019 年的公共互联网治理论坛 (IGF) 参与名单，分析了个人参与者如何选择在 IGF 应用的给定框架中表明自己的身份，以及他们如何在连续论坛中“穿越”互联网治理生态系统. 本文确定了 2006 年至 2019 年的 18,968 名独特的 IGF 参与者，代表了 7326 个独特的组织，因此，本文提供了前所未有的详细程度，说明谁参与了多利益相关方的讨论。
