Internet Governance -- What Does it Mean and What Can We Do?

Eighteen experts from various fields gathered at the Berkman Center last week for a summit on the thorny and elusive subject of International Internet Governance. Led by Berkman Fellow Colin Maclay (pictured right), discussion included a wide range of perspectives about the role of the United Nations, the private sector, and national governments. But there was consensus around several themes: education and dialogue are essential. To that end, Susan Crawford, Professor at Cardozo School of Law, will host a conference -- The FCC Takes On the Internet -- to promote debate on governance issues. A report on the summit's decisions will follow in the coming weeks.
