It is missing a "like" button in here... :) (as in facebook)

Internet Governance is a major issue for our society because our future life will be managed by 0 and 1, from our toothbrush to our car, for example. I think the most important is to comunicate problems related to IP content flow and that they have no binary solutions, yes/no, right/wrong, and that we have to discuss, in a Habermasian dialogical structure all problems and paradoxes. Have a nice day. <3

Great Tim, the Social Media aspect is important, there is still a lot to look at on openness issues within IG as it can be re defined and defined again in various context.  I will love to see how the various stake holders respond to issues with regards to self regulation in the context of the general clamour of openess.  For me culture, diversities and all those play a big role in openness, so am excited about this year's IGF in Africa, where from North to South the issues of IG are very broad and differ depending on who you dealing with.  The common ground is that within the Diplo community their is a shared belief of what can really work and what exact yard-stake we can use in IG.

Panelists:

  • Richard Beaird, Senior Deputy Coordinator, International Communications and Information Policy, U.S. Department of State
  • Maarten Botterman, Chairman of PIR
  • Chris Disspain, ICANN Board Member, auDA CEO, MAG Member, and member of review team in ICANN's accountability and transparency (ATRT)

The session is on Fri 30 September, 9am local time (Nairobi) which is 6am UTC, 3pm Tokyo, 2am New York and 11pm San Francisco (more info).


If you find this topic interesting, we would urge you to participate by providing some thoughts, questions and responses ahead of time which we will then pull into the session itself.

If you are coming to the IGF, the workshop will be in Room 4. If you can't make it, we will have remote participation available and will update this page with details as soon as we have them.

This is a great opportunity to have key members of the Internet community, including two ICANN Board members (one on the Board's Public Participation Committee), two IGF MAG members, the US government's top tech negotiator, and the chair of one of the Internet's biggest infrastructure companies answer your questions and provide insights.
