[governance] Workshop on Transnationalization of Internet Governance - The way forward from here (workshop 196)

[Ian Peter]

Folks we should try to improve this by June 15 and also establish a small
working group to run this workshop.

Details of our previous submission are below. We are lacking any suggestions
to date of co-organizers, potential speakers etc, so I believe we have to
improve that this week.

I don¹t see a natural merge for this workshop.

Can I have suggestions for potential partners/speakers on this, and also a
few volunteers to be the organising group? Either onlist or offlist,
whichever you prefer

Current proposal is below.

Title: Transnationalization of Internet Governance - The way forward from
 
Concise Description:
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 political governance, which
includes its transnationalization. It isimportant to analyze the needs of
evolution and transnationalization of Internet governance 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.
