But the world has changed since 2000 and the G 7 would be todaz too narrow if it comes to the Internet. You need the G 20 which includes BRIC. The acronym which I propose for this would be IG 20. With an IG 20 you would have a gobal Internet institutional architecture where IGF, ICANN and IG 20 would be combined in form of a network where the various institutions act in their specific roles without subordination but with mutual respect. This would be one step int this new territory of unchartered water which is called cyberspace.</blockquote>
