Thanks Sivasubramanian for sharing this interesting experience. It is an inspiration for us. Best wishes to ISOC India Chennai Best regards, Victor Ndonnang Secretary General ISOC Cameroon Chapter. -----Message d'origine----- De : at-large-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org [mailto:at-large-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org] De la part de Sivasubramanian M Envoyé : mercredi 8 février 2012 23:10 À : At-Large Worldwide Objet : [At-Large] History of Internet and Internet Governance: Events in Chennai region Hello *Almost at Zero Budget, three short duration events happened at Isoc India Chennai, an AT Large Structure of the APRALO region, in three locations, 4-6 hours of travel between the locations. Dr Olivier Crepin LeBlond, Chair of ICANN At Large led a session on IPv6 at Technoforum, Pondichery where I was asked to organize another 3 hour session on the History of Internet and Internet Governance. Olivier was kind enough to extend his stay in India by two days to visit Bharathidasan Institute of Management, one of India’s most renowned Business Schools, at Trichy, and Karunya University at Coimbatore, made possible largely by ISOC Chapter Secretary Sarto Rajendran’s efforts. * The sessions on the three locations followed a simple pattern. While Olivier as the Technical Expert had the tough task of going deeper into the technical aspects in a plain language without compromising on the need for precision, my presentation was a ‘rough’ history of Internet and Internet Governance, prepared as a relatively non-technical introduction. Jonathan Zittrain and Rebecca Mackinnon instantly replied to the email messages sent for permission to screen videos of their talks, so on the non-technical part a Jonathan Zittrain’s talk on “The Future of Internet” and Rebecca MacKinnon’s Personal Democaracy Forum and TED talks on “Consent of the Networked” could be included which became an excellent primer on Internet Governance issues to create interest. The topics revolved around the History of Internet and Internet Governance in all three locations, but at BIM the theme was “Internet for Business: Permissionless Innovation”. Please take a look at the slides embedded in the Chapter We are thankful to Olivier for his extended stay as a pleasant Guest to reach out to a total of a little over 1000 students in 4 days ! We are thankful to B.I.M <http://www.bim.edu/>, and Karunya <http://karunya.edu/>for the opportunity at short notice. The presentations are embedded at http://isocindiachennai.org/?p=856 *The rough history of Internet Governance for a non-technical audience is far from complete as a full presentation by itself. The presentation in its present form offers a glimpse, at best. We would invite comments on this prezi presentation to help us develop this into a more accurate presentation, with a libre office version, with more pictures and more videos and a fair coverage of the most important of the Internet pioneers. * Sivasubramanian M ISOC India Chennai http://isocindiachennai.org facebook: goo.gl/1VvIG LinkedIn: goo.gl/eUt7s Twitter: http://goo.gl/kaQ3a http://internetstudio.in/ _______________________________________________ At-Large mailing list At-Large@atlarge-lists.icann.org https://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/at-large At-Large Official Site: http://atlarge.icann.org
