                    <div>Funny, I have been thinking of the Law of the

                    </div>
                    <div>It is true that there's a built environment to
                      the Internet - but in maritime law ships are also
                      physical and registered with a state. However, the
                      space they travel through, beyond the territorial
                      waters limit, is open sea and by definition not
                      owned by anyone.</div>
                    <div><br>
                    </div>
                    <div>If we used this construct to protect the flow
                      of international data, that might be a workable
                      metaphor. The Law of the Sea embodied in UNCLOS
                      is, after all, largely simply a distillation of
                      internationally-understood principles about
                      maritime law that go back to the Roman period. </div>
                    <div><br>
                    </div>
                    <div>We could do much worse than an international
                      understanding that data, when transiting any
                      country between a source and destination in third
                      countries, was legally not actually 'in' the
                      territory or subject to the laws of the state it
                      was transiting, but subject only to an
                      international regime. <br>
                      <br>
                      (Bertrand: these ideas are what I was speaking of
                      when I told you at Baku I had an idea for your
                      jurisdiction project that might have potential).</div>

                    </div>
                    <div>FWIW: For those who are about to remind me, I

                                not only about shipping, fishing, and

                                      a new approach to Internet

                                  <div>Well, we have innovation!  With
                                    the IGF in Bali, and ICANN on a
                                    cruise ship, we may have 'beach or
                                    floating governance'. Internet
                                    governance could be fun!<br>
                                    <div><br>
                                      I like the metaphor of the ship
                                      since it implies our common
                                      destiny. We are all passengers of
                                      ICANNia or ITUnia or...<b>?</b>  
                                          Metaphors are also useful to
                                      remove our tunnel vision and make
                                      us think more creatively. In
                                      another metaphor, I hope that
                                      Internetistan will resist
                                      Absurdistan (<a href="http://diplo.smugmug.com/ILLUSTRATIONS/Posters-1/4464706_T4FW6r#%21i=1104113260&k=2GsD8hV&lb=1&s=A" target="_blank">here is the map
                                        of this fast-growing country</a>).


                                      <br>
                                      <br>
                                      But back to the current reality.
                                      Unfortunately, the ICANN cruise
                                      ship won't solve the problem of
                                      internationalisation. 'Open sea'
                                      refers only to freedom of
                                      navigation. It does not deal with
                                      the status of the ship. All
                                      relations on the ship are
                                      regulated by the national law of
                                      the ship's flag. ICANNia has to be
                                      registered somewhere. One solution
                                      could be a flag of convenience
                                      such as Liberia or Panama.  What
                                      happens on the ICANNia is
                                      regulated by national law, with no
                                      major differences from any other
                                      land-based entity (company,
                                      organisation). Yes, ICANNia can
                                      sail in whatever direction it
                                      wants to sail, but the decision
                                      must be made by the captain
                                      according to the rules of the
                                      flag's state. Extrapolating from
                                      the role of the captain on the
                                      ship, the ICANNia would look like
                                      military unit. The cruise ship
                                      metaphor gets even more
                                      interesting  when we consider
                                      different classes of cabins,
                                      rescue operations, etc.<br>
                                      <br>
                                      These thoughts have taken me back
                                      to Hugo Grotius's book <i>Mare
                                        Liberum</i> that established the
                                      "open sea" concept four centuries
                                      ago as opposed to the idea of a <i>Mare

                                        Nostrum</i>. <font color="#cc0000"><b> </b></font>His


                                      relevance for our time is
                                      sobering. If we replace 'sea' with
                                      'Internet' we could have the next
                                      book on the Internet. Grotius was
                                      a very interesting personality.<font color="#cc0000"><b> </b></font>
                                      Besides being one of the first
                                      international lawyers, he was one
                                      of the founders of the 'natural
                                      law' school of thought.  In
                                      addition, he wrote a lot about
                                      social contract (before Rousseau,
                                      Locke, and others). As a matter of
                                      fact, his social contract theory
                                      could be applicable to the
                                      Internet. </div>
                                    <div><br>
                                    </div>
                                    When it comes to the concept of open
                                    sea, Grotius had an interesting
                                    interplay with the political masters
                                    of his era.  He believed in open
                                    sea, but Dutch and British
                                    authorities quickly realised the
                                    usefulness of his doctrine. They had
                                    the biggest fleets and had ambitions
                                    to develop trade and colonial
                                    empires. Grotius provided them with
                                    the necessary doctrine or 'political
                                    software'.  However, Grotius always
                                    argued that 'open sea' needs rules
                                    and principles in order to be
                                    'open'. Although it was
                                    counter-intuitive to the leaders of
                                    two growing maritime powers, he
                                    managed to convince them that it was
                                    in their best interest to 'tame'
                                    their comparative powers and ensure
                                    the sustainability of their empires
                                    beyond the 17th century. Everything
                                    else has written the history, which
                                    proved Grotius right. We can draw
                                    many parallels, with the necessary
                                    caution that historical analogies
                                    should be handled with care. <br>
                                    <br>
                                    While we are waiting for a new
                                    Grotius (or Godot), we should review
                                    how we debate Internet governance
                                    issues. Grotius was a great scholar
                                    who mastered the existing rules
                                    before he started changing them. We,
                                    on the other hand, use well-defined
                                    and developed concepts in a relaxed
                                    way. A few examples...<br>
                                    <br>
                                    As we saw, the frequently used
                                    metaphor of the open sea does not
                                    translate to an open Internet. In
                                    many respects, it can lead in the
                                    opposite direction (Internet
                                    Nostrum).  <br>
                                    <br>
                                    Another example is the role of
                                    states' responsibility in the
                                    Internet era. This is a well-defined
                                    concept in international law. If we
                                    want states to be responsible for
                                    whatever is originating in their
                                    territories  (e.g. cyber-attacks,
                                    botnets),  we have to give them the
                                    tools to ensure their responsibility
                                    (mainly state control, regulation,
                                    and surveillance). Most writings on
                                    state responsibility start from the
                                    opposite assumption, i.e. the
                                    limited role of the state. With all
                                    the creativity and imagination in
                                    the world, we still cannot have it
                                    both ways. <br>
                                    <br>
                                    The most topical example of the need
                                    for evidence-based policy is the
                                    case of the Red Cross name/emblem at
                                    ICANN. There are very clear rules
                                    for the protection of the Red Cross
                                    name/emblem that were adopted some
                                    100 years ago and have been
                                    followed, without  reservation, on
                                    national and international levels. 
                                    ICANN was right in protecting the
                                    Red Cross name but made the mistake
                                    of putting it together with
                                    organisations that do not enjoy the
                                    same status (the International
                                    Olympic Committee).  <br>
                                    <br>
                                    Even if we want to change the rules
                                    in order to adjust to
                                    the specificities of the Internet
                                    era (if any), we have first to
                                    master them. I see here an important
                                    role for academic and civil society
                                    communities. If we had advised ICANN
                                    to evaluate the Red Cross and IOC
                                    submissions separately, we could
                                    have avoided a lot of policy
                                    confusion and wasted time. <br>
                                    <br>
                                    The GIGANET might consider the
                                    evidence-based policy research as
                                    the key theme for the next meeting?<br>
