Internet Governance Basics : What's at stake in 2014?



March 3 @ 3:30-4:45 PST/GMT -8








2014 is shaping up to be an important year in Internet
 Governance. Not only is the question of who runs the Internet becoming headline news, but the diplomatic calendar is full of occasions for governments to demand more control. Add to this mix next month’s Multistakeholder Meeting in Brazil, plus a number of
 high level panels seeking a new, middle path and you have a recipe for either a new paradigm for global cooperation - or a politically fragmented Internet. We'll hear from a range of people steeped in the internet governance debate and explain what's up for
 grabs, who is to be impacted, what are the current models being proposed - and most importantly why this matters to Silicon Valley.




All speakers will do on intro on their key issues and trends, and engage the audience in a discussion as to why this is important.Communicating what’s good and bad about the present model exploring new transnational mechanisms for Internet Governance; looking at “Splinternets” on the horizon and its impact on business; Geopolitical pressures
 and responses Why 2014 is the year to get involved. Why you should and how you can do it?
Speakers: 



Bertrand De La Chapelle (Internet Jurisdiction, France) 

Anja Kovacs (Internet Democracy Project, India) 

Nnenna Nwakanma - (Web Foundation, Cote d'Ivoire) 

Ronaldo Lemos - (Instituto de Tecnologia e Sociedade, Brazil)

 at stake, and what internet governance might look like in the next 20 years. It will bring together academics, advocates, government, and the private sector for a dynamic conversation with the broader digital rights community.
