Dear Friends:

The Berkman Center for Internet and Society is excited to announce a
student writing competition to identify innovative multistakeholder
governance groups and help us understand the conditions under which they
are most effective. We are seeking original papers (8 to 12 pages, single
spaced) that help us better understand innovative, globally diverse
governance groups.  The top submissions with receive cash stipends.

We are hoping that you will share this announcement with any students or
post-doctoral scholars that might be interested in submitting a short case
study.  Submissions will be due September 15, 2015, and the full details
about the competition and submission are available here:
https://cyber.law.harvard.edu/node/98897.

The Berkman Center, in collaboration with the Global Network of
Interdisciplinary Internet & Society Research Centers
<http://networkofcenters.net> (NoC), recently examined twelve diverse
examples <http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2549270> of
multistakeholder governance groups.  Through this writing competition, we
are seeking submissions that will add to this list and help us help us
explore other globally diverse and unique real-world examples.  A sample
case study (based on the NoC case study about Switzerland’s fiber optic
cable deployment) is available for reference here
