Thanks Joly! Interesting discussion topic indeed. It is true that governments have to play a role in the #Internet Governance: But what should their role be? The debate will continue...

[image: The Geopolitics of Internet Governance]Today Thursday May 23 2013 the Internet Society's Greater Washington Chapter (ISOC DC) along withe the Center for Strategic and International Studies <http://csis.org/> will present The Geopolitics of Internet Governance<http://www.isoc-dc.org/2013/05/the-geopolitics-of-internet-governance-free-e...>. The international landscape calls for a more compelling narrative for internet governance than the US–centric one inherited from the ‘90s. Will it be possible to accommodate non-western state’s (this is much more than China and Russia) desire for a larger role for governments without throwing the multi-stakeholder model and (more importantly) human rights overboard? A distinguished panel will ponder this question and more. The event will be webcast live by the Internet Society's North America Bureau.
