FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Joly MacFie <joly@punkcast.com> Date: 2013/11/11 Subject: [At-Large] E-conference Tuesday: Is There A Third Way For The Internet: Neither The US Nor The UN But Independence? #governance To: At-Large Worldwide <at-large@atlarge-lists.icann.org> As At-Large participants are likely aware Internet Governance is going through somewhat of an existential crisis, following the WCIT in Dubai last year, compounded by circumstances that are now universally referred to as "recent events", leading up to the Montevideo statement< https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montevideo_Statement_on_the_Future_of_Internet...
, and the announcement of a summit to be held in Brazil next year. Much discussion has taken place over the last two weeks at the IGF in Bali, and the IETF in Vancouver, much of it dedicated to finding workable solutions that will maintain the independence and integrity of the global open Internet. This e-conference promises to markedly further that discussion. Note that it will be relayed on the ISOC Chapters livestream channel.
