[Matthias C. Kettemann]

(sorry for cross-posting) (please distribute widely)

Dear all,

please find enclosed (and below) a call for papers for an exciting 
workshop on "Legal Aspects of Internet Governance" at the IRIS 2012 in 
Salzburg, Austria, 23-25 February 2012.


*Workshop "Legal Aspects of Internet Governance"
Call for Papers
*
Internet governance is often defined as the development and application 
of principles, norms, rules, decision-making procedures, and programmes 
that shape the evolution and use of the Internet. This definition 
encompasses norms of a legal character, as well as soft law and code and 
various combinations thereof. While this wide understanding potentially 
includes most aspects of IT law, the present workshop aims to address a 
variety of legal issues related to the governance of core elements of 
the Internet, including its technical architecture and institutions in a 
global context, and the impact of the recent surge of declarations of 
rights and principles by different stakeholders.


October 31st, 2011 	Abstract submission (300-500 characters)
January 10th, 2012 	Camera-ready papers to be published in the 
conference proceedings
23-25 February 2012 (workshop date TBD) 	Workshop to be held during 
International Legal Informatics Symposium (IRIS) in Salzburg, Austria



Suggested content areas include, but are not limited to

  * the institutional framework for Internet governance (e.g. related to
    ICANN, IGF, etc. and reforms thereof);
  * public international law (including international human rights law)
    and Internet Governance;
  * international domain name law (including new top level domains);
  * legal issues regarding IP addresses; and
  * the impact and future of declarations of rights and principles on
    Internet Governance.
