[bestbits] A disaggregated internet governance taxonomy

[Mike Godwin (mgodwin@INTERNEWS.ORG)]

DeNardis's response to this (she addresses this very question in the talk you can find at the video link below) is to say that there is a public-policy dimension to every level of these functions.

The focus here is of one clear set of functions - public policy making, that also, specifically decision making vis a vis public polices...

If we need closures somewhere. Power does not disappear in absence of legitimate governance. The Internet is right now being shaped by the powerful for their benefit.

At one point we need to agree on should be taking decisions for public policies.

And to reach that point faster than slower is more in the interest to those most excluded in current power configurations..

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.
