Diplo at the Internet Governance Forum in Athens
DiploFoundation's coordinators, tutors, and participants of the Internet Governance Capacity Building Programme have met in Athens for the first inaugural meeting of the Internet Governance Forum. The BBC News has recently posted a review of the Forum with reference to related and background stories.
Prior to the meeting, the Diplo team and participants attended a symposium organised by the Global Internet Governance Academic Network (GIGANet) on October 29. Chaired by Wolfgang Kleinwächter, Ang Peng Hwa, Milton Mueller, and William Drake, members of the panel discussed various aspects of Internet Governance. Topics included the relation of Internet Governance to the social sciences, the humanities, law, and other disciplines. The meeting addressed intellectual, institutional, and other barriers to Internet Governance, and how these might be overcome. As well, the symposium took up how Internet Governance can develop into an interdisciplinary scholarly field taken seriously by academics, yet capable of providing useful inputs to the Internet Governance Forum and other policy-development institutions.
