Presentation and Objectives / Présentation et objectifs

Building on the success of its first two editions, respectively in Paris, France in June 2008 and in Brussels, Belgium in May 2009, the purpose of this third GigaNet workshop is twofold.

The first day is dedicated to outreach sessions aimed at increasing the interest in the global Internet governance field among various academic disciplines and the civil society at large. An academic roundtable will explore global Internet governance research and the methodological and theoretical contributions from different academic disciplines to the field. Open discussions will follow on current global Internet governance debates and their relevance to public policy making, led by Canadian experts analyzing how these issues are locally played out.

The second day features thematic presentations selected upon submissions made in response to a call for contributions. Scholars will present and discuss their work-in-progress in Internet Governance-related research, with the aim to identify emerging research themes and design a research agenda. In order to provide a survey of current academic activities in the field, share ideas and forge possible collaborations, presentations will focus on problematics, research designs, preliminary empirical results and conclusions in the aim of stimulating reflection and discussion amongst the audience.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Après le succès de ses deux premières éditions, respectivement à Paris, France en juin 2008 et à Bruxelles, Belgique en mai 2009, l’objectif de ce troisième atelier GigaNet est double.

La première journée est dédiée à des sessions d’ouverture, dans l’objectif d’accroître l’intérêt pour le champ de la gouvernance globale d’Internet parmi les universitaires de différentes disciplines et la société civile dans son ensemble. Une table ronde académique débattra de la recherche en matière de gouvernance globale d’Internet et des contributions théoriques et méthodologiques apportées par différentes disciplines à ce champ de recherche. Des discussions ouvertes suivront, consacrées aux débats actuels en matière de gouvernance globale d’Internet et de leur pertinence pour la définition de politiques publiques. Ces discussions seront introduites par des experts canadiens analysant comment ces questions sont déclinées localement.

La deuxième journée est composée de présentations thématiques sélectionnées sur la base des contributions reçues en réponse à l’appel à participation. Des universitaires du domaine présenteront et discuteront leurs travaux en cours sur la gouvernance d’Internet, en vue d’identifier des thèmes de recherche émergents et de définir des programmes de recherche. Dans l’objectif de proposer un panorama des activités académiques actuelles dans ce champ, d’échanger des idées et de forger de possibles collaborations, les présentations mettront l’accent sur les problématiques et les méthodologies de recherche, ainsi que sur les résultats empiriques et conclusions préliminaires, pour stimuler la réflexion et la discussion avec les participants.

10:30-12:30 – ROUNDTABLE: WHAT IS INTERNET GOVERNANCE RESEARCH AND WHAT DO DIFFERENT ACADEMIC DISCIPLINES CONTRIBUTE TO IT? [Join via Elluminate Live!]

Global Internet governance is about institutions, regimes, actors and policies to deal with the global impact of Internet infrastructure, applications, services, content and activities. It refers to political, economical, social and technical norms and usages and how they interact in this context. Given the wide range of involved public and private actors and the variety of conflicting interests at stake, global Internet governance is also about ensuring the legitimacy and stability of this digital, globalized and distributed polity. This roundtable introduces these issues, problems, and processes and explores how different disciplines contribute to Internet governance research, in both theoretical and methodological terms.

Introduction: Milton Mueller, Syracuse University & TU Delft, USA & The Netherlands

13:30-16:00 – Civil Society Outreach Session / Dialogue avec la société civile (Open Mic Bilingual Discussion / Discussion ouverte bilingue)

This session aims at facilitating dialogue between academics, NGOs and other civil society groups and at trying to draw some new relevant perspectives into the conversation. The session is divided into three discussions, each focused on a particular issue. After an introduction of the topic by invited representatives of Canadian groups or coalitions, an informal discussion will follow, dedicated to information exchange and to the exploration of how current Global Internet Governance issues are playing out in Canada, international fora and elsewhere.
Discussions will be conducted in both English and French. Since there will be no simultaneous interpretation available, participants will use their preferred language to express themselves, with bilingual moderators facilitating the discussions.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cette session vise à faciliter le dialogue entre universitaires, ONGs et autres groupes de la société civile et à identifier de nouvelles perspectives dans le débat sur la gouvernance globale d’Internet. La session est divisée en trois moments, chacun mettant l’accent sur une question donnée. Après une introduction du sujet par un représentant invité de coalitions associatives canadiennes, une discussion informelle s’établira, dédiée à l’échange d’information et à l’analyse de la manière selon laquelle les questions de gouvernance globale d’Internet se déclinent dans le contexte canadien, mais aussi dans des forum internationaux.
Les débats seront conduits en anglais et en français. L’interprétation simultanée n’étant pas disponible, les participants s’exprimeront dans la langue de leur choix, et des modérateurs bilingues faciliteront les échanges.

Programme détaillé, 2e journée – Lundi 31 mai 2010

8:30-10:00 – SESSION 1: ACCESS TO INFRASTRUCTURE POLICIES [Join via Elluminate Live!]

Internet has become an essential tool to exercise everyday activities. Access to infrastructure is the first prerequisite to satisfy the resulting legitimate expectation that Internet services be accessible, affordable and unobstructed. This session will examine national, regional and international governance issues related to such access to infrastructure policies.

Chair: Keisuke Kamimura, International University of Japan, Japan
Speakers:

• The Opportunity of Convergence: Using the Spectrum to Rethink the Limits of Civil Society and the Internet in the Case of Uruguay
  Evan Light, Université du Québec à Montréal, Canada
• Different Paths to Universal Broadband: The Impact of Political Structure, Governance and Policy Initiatives on Broadband Internet Diffusion in the Developed and Developing Worlds
  Jeff Gulati and David Yates, Bentley University, USA
• Internet Law and Governance: Co-Regulation as a Constitutional Solution?
  Chris Marsden, University of Essex, UK

10:00-11:00 – SESSION 2: PROTOCOLS AND STANDARDS [Join via Elluminate Live!]

“Code is law” or, more exactly, “code is policy”. Well, but how exactly these policies have been defined for 40 years, through thousands of RFCs and in so-called technical fora? What were, and still are, the policy debates involved in these discussions? This session will go beyond the acknowledgement that technical norms are defining and implementing political, legal and social norms, to decrypt the processes of policy making underlain by the discussions and adoptions of such technical standards.

Chair: Becky Lentz, McGill University, Canada
Speakers:

• Governance by Design: Technical Decision-Making for the Internet and Social Policy
  Sandra Braman, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, USA
• Securing Critical Internet Resources: Influencing Standards through Delegation and Social Networks
  Brenden Kuerbis, Syracuse University, USA

11:00-11:30 – Coffee Break

11:30-13:00 – SESSION 3: CONTENT AND BEHAVIOR GOVERNANCE [Join via Elluminate Live!]

Internet regulation and governance policies are often decided and applied without even studying their actual need and their actual impact in terms of content and behavior. With different case studies, this session will explore whether current policies pass the reality check.

Chair: Meryem Marzouki, CNRS & Université Pierre et Marie Curie, France
Speakers:

• Cybercrime in The Netherlands 2009. A Picture on the basis of Police Files
  Wouter Stol, E.R. Leukfeldt and M.M.L. Domenie, NHL University, The Netherlands

13:00-14:00 – Lunch (provided on site)

14:00-15:30 – SESSION 4: ACTORS, INSTITUTIONS AND REGIMES [Join via Elluminate Live!]

Who are the players in the global Internet governance game? What are the rules of the game and how are they transforming in the course of the game or even performed by the game itself? How is the playground defined anyway, and who defines it? After the analysis of two case studies, a national and a transnational one, this session will introduce a methodological proposal for a collaborative mapping of the field.

Chair: Leslie Regan Shade, Concordia University, Canada
Speakers:

• The Green Dam Case: A New Model of Chinese Internet Governance?

Second International Workshop on

Global Internet Governance: An Interdisciplinary Research Field in Construction

A GigaNet workshop, organized in cooperation with ECREA IIC, CD and CLP Sections

Brussels, Belgium, 11 May 2009

Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), Campus Etterbeek, Building D, Promotiezaal D.2.01

Presentation and Objectives

Building on the success of its first edition in Paris, France, in June 2008, the purpose of this workshop is the presentation and discussion of work-in-progress in Internet Governance-related research with the aim to identify emerging research themes and design a research agenda. We are interested in exchanging information and ideas about national and regional projects and networks currently pursuing research on global Internet governance, but also in identifying academic syllabi or other education programs dedicated to these issues, in order to share ideas and forge possible collaborations. Scholars from various academic disciplines and all regions of the world contribute to this reflexive exercise, with the long-term objective of collectively building this interdisciplinary research field.

Rather than featuring formal academic paper presentations, the workshop aims at providing a survey and discussion of current academic activities and work in progress in the field of global Internet governance. The workshop is mainly organized around the 4 panels described below. They will address issues having emerged from the submitted contributions, as well as research methodologies. Panelists have been selected among the authors of these contributions after the evaluation process conducted by the workshop committee.
