<incom> Deadline approaching for Rio GigaNet Symposium submissions

[Paula Chakravartty]

For researchers working on some aspect of internet governance and  
development--and especially the politics of development--do consider  
submitting an abstract to the  Rio conference by the 1st of August  
(see link below). Although time is short, Heike Jensen who was active  
in the feminist networks around WSIS, encouraged submissions by  
researchers working on/in the South.

> We are most interested in papers on:
>
> “The Changing Institutionalization of Internet Governance”  --  
> Papers can examine institutionalization theoretically, by placing  
> it in the context of theories of international relations,  
> international regimes, and
>
> global governance; or empirically, through critical assessment of  
> its outcomes so far.
>
>
>
> “Toward a Development Agenda for Internet Governance” -- papers  
> that analyze the positive and negative linkages between existing  
> global Internet governance mechanisms and development; the possible
>
> need for new mechanisms; and the potential foundations of a  
> holistic development agenda
>
>
>
> “Critical Policy Issues in Internet Governance” -- Examples of such  
> policy issues would include network neutrality, digital identity,  
> privacy/security, content regulation, intellectua l property rights/ 
> DRM, or others.

>
> Please also work your own networks of scholars to encourage people
