[governance] Workshop proposal - Global Internet Governance - multistakeholder involvement of government, civil society and the private sector

[Ian Peter]

Folks, workshop proposals need to be submited in a week. This particular
subject attracted a lot of support, so I am attempting below a first draft
of a workshop proposal.

 

Given our time constraints, can I suggest that rather than debate the
subject below, you suggest alternative wording and changes to the proposal.
We seem to have broad agreement that we should mount a workshop in this
area, but some difficulty in wording a proposal appropiately.

 

I am suggesting an organising committee for this workshop of Bill Drake,
Wolfgang Kleinwachter, and Bertrand de la Chapelle (without asking them)

 

We need a final draft this week.

 

Title

 

Global Internet Governance – multistakeholder involvement of government,
civil society and the private sector

 

Concise description

 

The working definition of Internet Governance in Article 34 of TAIS is the
development and application by governments, the private sector and civil
society, in their respective roles, of shared principles, norms, rules,
decision-making procedures, and programmes that shape the evolution and use
of the Internet.

 

The WSIS documents have explicitly supported the multistakeholder model in
Internet Governance. However, how this would function in agenda-setting,
regime drafting, formal adoption/validation, implementation and enforcement
is  clear.

 

If the IGF and ICANN are laboratories for the new multi-stakeholder
governance as we believe they are, this discussion is a central contribution
to a better understanding of how it can work. How can multistakeholder
involvement evolve to provide appropriate governance structures that work
effectivelt for all stakeholder groups?



 

 

Relates to theme – 

Critical Internet Resources

 

 

 

If so, who would you approach as co-organizers ? If not, who do you think
should organize it?

  

To be effective, this workshop will need to involve representatives of all
stakeholder groups . We propose an organizing committee including Wolfgang
Kleinwächter, Bertrand de la Chapelle, and William Drake to work with all
stakeholder groups
