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


A brief update here -



Imagining the Internet have agreed to work with us on this, and I suggest we proceed with that. What we do need to do by 15th is scope out in more detail potential partners, speakers, others we should approach. So I would appreciate all suggestions – also all offers to join a small working group on this. We do need to flesh this out a little more within 2 days!

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 don’t 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.
