[bestbits] A disaggregated internet governance taxonomy

[Mike Godwin (mgodwin@INTERNEWS.ORG)]

Following a suggestion made by Carolina Rossini at a New America Foundation panel she moderated, I mined Laura DeNardis’s and Mark Raymond’s paper (“Thinking Clearly about Multistakeholder Governance”) for its big chart of “disaggregated internet governance” functions.

I find it’s useful to look at this chart (somewhat clumsily assembled by me and attached here as a PDF) and ask which of these functions are best administered by multi-stakeholder process, which are best administered by expert bodies (including self-selected experts), which are best administered by governments or intergovernmental entities, and so forth.

Here’s a link to DeNardis’s talk about her new internet-governance book:
The Global War for Internet Governance with Dr. Laura DeNardis:

Unsurprisingly, DeNardis says there’s no one-size-fits-all solution for administering every aspect of internet governance.
