Re: [kictanet] Internet Governance
Hallo, Please help me understand,when we discuss Internet Policy making in the context of Internet Governance what are we exactly refering to? Is it governance on domain names,intelectual property rights,root server management,internet security,spam or is it all the above. This is also in connection to what issues will be up for discussion at the EAIGF to be held from 7-9 September 2009? Where do I register to attend the EAIGF conference?

D) All of the above (and more). IG used to have a more narrow definition, that of coordination of resources and standards essential to the operation of the net. WSIS processes however resulted in a much broader definition, to wit: "Internet governance is the development and application by governments, the private sector, and civil society, in their respective roles, of shared principles, norms, rules, decision-making procedures, and programmes that shape the evolution and use of the Internet. " So basically anything and everything can be called IG. -- Cheers, McTim "A name indicates what we seek. An address indicates where it is. A route indicates how we get there." Jon Postel
Dear Jane: McTim has said it well -- Internet Governance (IG) is about all the things you mentioned and more. While looking at IG, we need focus and discuss on all issues, actors and divides. From Infrastructure and Standardization, to Legal issues, Economic issues, Development issues, Socio-Cultural issues and more. Certainly, the Internet touches just about every aspect of human life. And when we have good Internet Governance, we will all (globally) share the Internet with knowledge and understanding and, indeed, everyone shall easily enjoy its fruits and benefits. Go to http://www.eaigf.or.ke/registration.html, to register for East AFrica IGF. Have a good and a blessed week ahead. Kind regards On Mon, Aug 31, 2009 at 6:54 AM, McTim <dogwallah@gmail.com> wrote:

considering, then, the from the basket of issues, wouldn't it therefore be very interesting to note the areas "our IGF" journey actually traverses? Then contrast that with (past?) global agenda scope? On Mon, Aug 31, 2009 at 6:54 AM, McTim<dogwallah@gmail.com> wrote:

Jane FYI www.eaigf.or.ke <http://www.eaigf.or.ke/> Vincent sent some information on the forum on Sept 1st. Check that out. In regard to the Internet Policy Making in an IG context In my view It would encompass all the issues you mentioned, however policy in the simplest of definitions is a plan of action to achieve a desired outcome therefore a separation and possible a combination of Internet related issues would need to be reached and then define policy to influence the same. Definitely some political interest would be generated hence making implementation fairly challenging. Possibly Walu and Dr. Ndemo would shed some more light with actual policy that is already at work or in the process of preparation. S.
