The Global Internet Governance Academic Network (GigaNet,
http://www.igloo.org/giganet) is a scholarly community launched in Spring
2006.  Its objectives are to: support the establishment of a global cohort
of scholars specializing on Internet governance issues; advance theoretical
and applied research and promote the development of Internet governance as a
recognized, interdisciplinary field of  study; and facilitate informed
policy relevant dialogue between  scholars, policy practitioners, and
stakeholders. Among other activities, GigaNet organizes research symposia,
including in conjunction with the annual meetings of the UN Internet
Governance Forum.  

This brief side event will introduce  GigaNet and its activities and then
highlight some recent  developments and emerging issues that could have a
significant impact on the future trajectory of the Internet economy.   The
program will consist of short remarks by scholars who have been involved  in
the global policy debates on Internet governance, followed by open
discussion with the audience.  More details are at:
