<div dir="ltr"><span>Dear
Friends:<br>
<br>
The Berkman Center for Internet and Society is excited to
announce a student writing competition to identify
innovative multistakeholder governance groups and help us
understand the conditions under which they are most
effective. We are seeking original papers (8 to 12 pages,
single spaced) that help us better understand innovative,
globally diverse governance groups. The top submissions
with receive cash stipends.<br>
<br>
We are hoping that you will share this announcement with
any students or post-doctoral scholars that might be
interested in submitting a short case study. Submissions
will be due September 15, 2015, and the full details about
the competition and submission are available here: <a href="https://cyber.law.harvard.edu/node/98897" target="_blank">https://cyber.law.harvard.edu/node/98897</a>.
<br>
<br>
The Berkman Center, in collaboration with the <a href="http://networkofcenters.net" target="_blank">Global Network of
Interdisciplinary Internet & Society Research
Centers</a> (NoC), recently examined <a href="http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2549270" target="_blank">twelve
diverse examples</a> of multistakeholder governance
groups. Through this writing competition, we are seeking
submissions that will add to this list and help us help us
explore other globally diverse and unique real-world
examples. A sample case study (based on the NoC case
study about Switzerland’s fiber optic cable deployment) is
available for reference <a href="https://cyber.law.harvard.edu/sites/cyber.law.harvard.edu/files/Swiss%20ComCom_abridged.pdf" target="_blank">here</a>.
From the submitted case studies, we will select the top
three. First place will receive a cash stipend of $ 4000;
second place will receive $3000; and third place will
receive $2000. Additional awards for honorable mentions
may be given at the discretion of the Berkman Center.
These cash stipends are made possible by a generous <a href="http://research.google.com/university/relations/research_awards.html" target="_blank">Google
Research Grant</a> awarded to the Berkman Center. In
addition, the top case studies will be published as part
of a forthcoming Berkman Center report on multistakeholder
governance groups.<br>
<br>
We believe this is a great opportunity for students to
contribute to our understanding of how these governance
groups operate and what makes them successful. We hope
you’ll help us publicize this opportunity and let students
know about this competition.<br>
<br>
If you have any questions, please contact me (<a href="mailto:rbudish@cyber.law.harvard.edu" target="_blank">rbudish@cyber.law.harvard.edu</a>).<br>
<br>
Warmly,<br>
<br>
Ryan Budish
