Hi Glenn, I have two ideas for relevant speakers. I'm not sure they are available, but that doesn't take away from their relevance to ICANN & NARALO. *Idea #1:* Speaker: Dr. Milton Mueller <https://icannwiki.org/Milton_Mueller> Topic: Internet Governance, Multistakeholder Model, Sovereignty & The Global (Ostrom) Commons Background: Dr. Mueller gave a lecture at the Fifth Annual Vincent and Elinor Memorial Lecture <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjD98DDfpe0&list=PLP-XSUq8yCJmIDyM_-qyHVEXfo...> in 2018 which touches on important Internet Governance issues for end users. Note: The lecture has bad sound quality until minute 22. A description of the lecture is as follows: Cyberspace is one of the most critical resource domains in contemporary society. The principle of state sovereignty is one of the most important concepts underpinning the world’s governance institutions. This lecture will examine the relationship between the two. Based on an analysis of the techno-economic features of the domain, it questions the desirability and practicality of sovereignty in cyberspace, and explores the applicability of global commons models to cyberspace. While I will show that self-governance by a transnational Internet community is both possible and in many respects already exists, the military significance of the cyber domain and the mounting tensions between national authority over information and communications and the globalized capabilities of the Internet means that governance in cyberspace must take state power into account. But does this mean we are doomed to revert to the territorially fragmented governance of a sovereignty-based model? Or can some way be found to reconcile the two? *Idea #2:* Speaker: Mark Nottingham <https://www.mnot.net/personal/resume/> Topic: RFC 8890: The Internet is for End Users <https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8890> Background: Mark Nottingham authored "RFC 8890: The Internet is for End Users" in 2020 while was a member of the Internet Architecture Board (IAB). Although RFC 8890 did not specifically account for the ICANN End User stakeholder, the perspectives of an Internet end user and an ICANN end user have great overlap. It would be interesting to explore this overlap of perspectives with Mark if he's available.
