[governance] Reposting Workshop 2: Successes and failures of Internet governance, 1995 - 2010, and looking forward to WSIS 2015

[Jeremy Malcolm]

Description:
This workshop will compare the changing institutional and procedural approaches that have been applied to the problems of Internet governance over the last 15 years, and facilitate the sharing of various perspectives about the effectiveness and legitimacy of each approach.  In each case reference will be made to the WSIS process criteria which recommend the full involvement of governments, the private sector, civil society, and international organizations in Internet governance arrangements.

In parallel, the workshop will also look back to the period of 2003-2005 when the first meetings of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) was held, and forward to a future meeting in 2015.  Questions to be asked include, would the same decisions about Internet governance that were made in 2005 have been made today, are the WSIS process criteria due for revision, and how will the role of private actors differ between the two summits?

Format:
The workshop will take a interactive panel format, beginning with brief presentations from experts from each of the stakeholder groups (including academia), followed by a moderated between panelists and the floor.
