[bestbits] Jeremy on role of governments and the way this role is changing--Webinar tomorrow

[Ginger Paque]

People in this list might be interested in Diplo's webinar tomorrow
(Tuesday, 28 May).

The role of governments in Internet governance is under wider scrutiny this
month. Debates during the ITU's World Telecommunications Policy Forum
(WTPF) in Geneva, legal developments from the US House of Representatives,
and the tumultuous developments at ICANN and its Government Advisory
Committee (GAC), have cast a spotlight on governments' role and the
multistakeholder model.

<http://www.diplomacy.edu/sites/default/files/UN%20flags.jpg>Our May
webinar will focus on the role of governments and the way this role is
changing. Our special host is well-known IG expert *Dr Jeremy Malcolm*,
senior policy officer at Consumers International. He will discuss the
following, and more:

- What are the updates from Geneva, the US, and Beijing?
- How do these developments affect the positioning of governments in the IG
process?
- What can we expect to see in the coming months?
