Today
Thursday May
23 2013 the
Internet
Society's
Greater
Washington
Chapter (ISOC
DC) along
withe the Center for Strategic and International Studies will
present The Geopolitics of Internet Governance. 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.
