[Fwd: [governance] Workshop proposal - Internationalisation of IG

[Ian Peter]

Let me have one last go at this to see if we can get some acceptable wording
. Please let me know if the following draft works, or possible amendments
that might make it work. I'm trying to accommodate the range of interesting
viewpoints we have on this subject - that is going to require removing some
of the concepts which require further discussion or we will not reach
agreement

 
I've changed the original text quite liberally! Let me know if this works 
 
Title


Internationalization of Internet Governance - The way forward from where we
stand today 


Concise description (up to 200 words)


The Internet's present governance structures grew out of certain historical
contexts, as well as some new socio-political realities around the Internet.
In the context of rapid changes that the Internet has wrought, the key and
emerging issues related to its governance could not have been anticipated by
anyone. One thing however is clear by now; the Internet is not just a
technical artifact, requiring technical governance with regard to keeping it
running smoothly, but a key socio-political phenomenon requiring
participative, inclusive and accountable internationalization. It is
important to analyze the needs of evolution and internationalization of IG
from various standpoints and the direction in which we might move from here


The workshop will seek to discuss some real institutional possibilities of
what to do next, possibly presenting and analyzing alternative models, along
with the advantages and disadvantages of each.  


Relates to theme - IG, CIRs


Who would you approach as co-organizers ? Or who do you think should
organize it?


 IG Caucus would like to organize this workshop..

This is an attempted draft for the proposed internationalisation workshop. 


Title


Democratic internationalization of Internet Governance - The way forward
from where we stand today 
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]-->
<!--[endif]-->

Concise description (up to 200 words)


As the Internet becomes a key factor of reorganizing our social structures,
and doing so at a global level as never before, democratic global governance
of the Internet is a pressing imperative. Its present governance structures
grew out of certain historical contexts, as well as of some new
socio-political realities around the Internet. In the context of rapid
changes that the Internet has wrought, the key and emerging issues related
to its governance, and the correspondingly legitimate governance
arrangements, could not have been anticipated by anyone. One thing however
is clear by now; the Internet is not just a technical artifact, requiring
technical governance with regard to keeping it running smoothly, but a key
socio-political phenomenon requiring participative political governance by
all people of the world, who are all implicated.  However, the direction we
move in from here depends on where we stand. It is important to analyze the
needs of evolution and internationalization of IG from these dual
standpoints. 


The workshop will seek to discuss some real institutional possibilities of
what to do next, possibly presenting and analyzing alternative models, along
with the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Who would you approach as co-organizers ? Or who do you think should
organize it?


It is best that this workshop is organized by civil society actors. IG
Caucus will like to organize this workshop, along with some  civil society
organizations form the North and South that have shown interest.
