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. *What*: The Geopolitics of Internet Governance <http://www.isoc-dc.org/2013/05/the-geopolitics-of-internet-governance-free-e...> *Where*: Washington DC *When*: Thursday May 23 2013 9am-11am EDT | 1300-1500 UTC *Webcast*: http://new.livestream.com/internetsociety/geopolitics *Twitter*: #geowebgov <https://twitter.com/search/realtime?q=%23geowebgov> | @isocdc <https://twitter.com/search/realtime?q=isocdc> | @csis <https://twitter.com/search/realtime?q=csis> *Panelists* Phil Verveer, Former US Coordinator, International Communications and Information Policy, US Department of State Veni Markovski, ICANN, Vice President for Russia, CIS and Eastern Europe Sally Wentworth, Senior Director, Strategic Public Policy Bill Smith, Senior Policy Advisor, Technology Evangelist, PayPal Laura DeNardis, Associate Professor in the School of Communication, American University *Moderators*: James Lewis, Director and Senior Fellow, Technology and Public Policy Program, CSIS David Vyorst, Co-Founder, Relay Station Social Media Comment <http://isoc-ny.org/p2/5607#respond> See all comments <http://isoc-ny.org/p2/5607#comments> *Permalink*: http://isoc-ny.org/p2/5607 -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast VP (Admin) - ISOC-NY - http://isoc-ny.org ---------------------------------------------------------------
