<P class=MsoNormal><B><O:P></O:P><BR></B>As the Internet becomes a key factor
of reorganizing our social structures, and doing so at a global level as never
before, democratic global governance of the Internet is a pressing imperative.
Its present governance structures grew out of certain historical contexts, as
well as of some new socio-political realities around the Internet. In the
context of rapid changes that the Internet has wrought, the key and emerging
issues related to its governance, and the correspondingly legitimate
governance arrangements, could not have been anticipated by anyone. One thing
however is clear by now; the Internet is not just a technical artifact,
requiring technical governance with regard to keeping it running smoothly, but
a key socio-political phenomenon requiring participative political governance
by all people of the world, who are all implicated.<SPAN>
</SPAN>However, the direction we move in from here depends on where we stand.
It is important to analyze the needs of evolution and internationalization of
IG from these dual standpoints. <O:P></O:P></P>
