*Abstract: *
This essay looks at the the different roles that multistakeholder
institutions play in the Internet governance ecosystem. We propose a model
for thinking of Internet governance within the context of the Internet's
layered model. We use the example of the negotiations in Dubai in 2102 at
the World Conference on International Telecommunications as an illustration
for why it is important for different institutions within the governance
system to focus on their respective areas of expertise (e.g., the ITU,
ICANN, and IGF). Several areas of conflict (a "tussle") are reviewed, such
as the desire to promote more broadband infrastructure, a topic that is in
the remit of the International Telecommunications Union, but also the
recurring desire of countries like Russia and China to use the ITU to
regulate content and restrict free expression on the Internet through
onerous cybersecurity and spam provisions. We conclude that it is folly to
try and regulate all these areas through an international treaty, and
encourage further development of mechanisms for global debate like the
Internet Governance Forum (IGF).
