[governance] Look at this title -- 1: Revolutionary Internet Governance Ideas that can help change the Developing World

[Eric Dierker]

I dare say that even the header here would scare most non techies away.  Note that a truly proper reading of this title lends one to think that "the Internet is Governing us".  Why does this forum insist on saying Internet Governance -- When it damn sure should be Governance of the Internet use.
Here again the lingua is so club oriented it is twisted to exclude those of Government Philosophy and include those of technical internet expertise.
 
Another quote from the famed Milton for a different post yesterday: ""Like many techies with no background in political economy, you are confusing the need for coordination and exclusive assignment with a monopoly in the supply of a service. They are distinct. And the distinction is significant.""  This egotistical refusal of the technical community to respect the social sciences enough to admit ignorance and just assume they know these things with out study and experience is an obvious failure of Respectful Interface.
Knowledge in Governance is not inate, we are not born with it, because we are doctorates in something else and very smart does not qualify us in this area.

Subject: [governance] Reposting Workshop 1: Revolutionary Internet Governance Ideas that can help change the Developing World
To: governance at lists.cpsr.org
Date: Sunday, April 11, 2010, 1:04 PM



Description:
A workshop that provides stakeholders the opportunity to share positive ideas for stimulating socio-economic change in the developing world utilizing the Internet. This will be a venue for both developed and developing world participants. An example may be the ideas presented by Tim Berners-Lee at TED for Opening Data to the world that helped in providing concrete relief information on the ground during the Haiti earthquake crisis. Another idea may be Google's mapping of the Sudan crisis.
With the participation of all stakeholders, including youth, the workshop will record the many positive ideas that evolve from this venue, measure the changes that they have enabled over time, and at the next IGF meeting identify which ideas had the greatest impact over the past 12 months since presented.

Format:
A round table open to all participants of the workshop. The format will be 5 minutes given to each of the participants to share an existing or revolutionary idea. The Internet governance dimensions of each idea will also be explored.  All the ideas will be recorded and categorized under various topics for measurement of impact over the following year.
