==========================================================================
 
The Internet raises significant challenges for public policy and sustainable
human development, both internationally and for individual nations. While
the Asia-Pacific region contains the highest share of global Internet users,
it is under-represented in the forums that develop Internet-related
policies.

This book, with a foreword by Nitin Desai, presents the work of the Open
Regional Dialogue on Internet Governance, a year-long initiative by UNDP
Asia-Pacific Development Information Programme that has collected
perspectives from regional experts and end users.

It summarizes the key debates in Internet Governance from those involved in
international policy-making. It also provides detailed analysis of critical
issues such as spam, wireless technologies, security, multilingualism, and
cultural diversity in the Asia-Pacific.

The book contributes regional perspectives to important global processes,
and will assist anyone involved in planning Internet-related development
policies or projects.
