The Internet as Public Good Symposium focuses on the ideas of the Net as a public good, the Net for the public good and the Net as a tool to foster the creation and distribution of public goods.

Through the symposium, we work to improve the understanding of the meaning of the Net in our near-global society and to use this knowledge to help further the our own work and the work of others.

Visit the schedule to get an overview of the discussion topics. To help focus the discussions, we've asked participants to prepare edge cases - brief synopses of situations that help us find an edge of the Net or illuminate some aspect of the Net.

The symposium will be held on the Harvard Business School campus in Boston, MA, USA, on July 30-31, 2007.

During the symposium, we will publish synopses and notes of the various discussions and breakout groups. After the symposium, we hope to distribute recordings of the edge case presentations and discussion groups (but not the breakout sessions.)
