[governance] Nobel Prize for The Internet

[Michael Gurstein]

I think the idea is that the TBL be given the Nobel (Peace) Prize on behalf
of "the Internet"

My understanding is that part of the process could involve popular
nominations... which I would understand is what Shahzad is proposing for CS.
 
Whether it is a good idea or not is another question.

Sorry - I haven't seen this idea before. What would this entail? Like the
prize for Economics? I can't see how focusing on this would be really
beneficial, compared to other issues, but am willing to hear more.

I suggest that one of CS representative strongly raise the support for the
Nobel Prize for the Internet either in the closing session or in regular
interventions in the plenary. It will be good if IGF sends a strong message
out on this. 

 

Best wishes and regards
