[bestbits] EVENT 3/26: A Digital Magna Carta : Internet Governance and a New Social Contract

[Joly MacFie]

It was the Geneva Declaration
<http://www.itu.int/wsis/docs/geneva/official/dop.html> in 2003 which
launched the WSIS process
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Summit_on_the_Information_Society>
that led to the formation of the IGF.  Tim Berners Lee, who we will not
forget developed the World Wide Web in Switzerland, recently called
for a "Digital
Magna Carta
<http://www.ted.com/talks/tim_berners_lee_a_magna_carta_for_the_web>".
Geneva has been rumored
<http://domainincite.com/14390-no-icann-isnt-moving-to-switzerland> as a
possible future home for ICANN. ISOC already has one of its two global
offices there. Lastly, of course the NETmundial Initiative
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetMundial_Initiative> was founded at the
WEF in Davos. So it is no small wonder that the Swiss Consulate in NYC is
taking an interest in Internet Governance! To talk about it they are flying
in some great speakers, including ISOC-NY member George Sadowsky, ISOC
Global's Constance Bommelaer, and Diplo's Jovan Kurbalija . Permission to
livestream has been requested and I will confirm if it comes through. In
person attendees should sign up right away as it's not a big room.
