GOVERNING THE COMMONS: THE FUTURE OF GLOBAL INTERNET ADMINISTRATION
September 24-25 (Friday and Saturday) Hilton Mark Hotel Alexandria, Virginia
http://www.cpsr.org/conferences/dns99/dnsconf99.htm
CONFERENCE THEMES The implementation of a global institution for Internet administration continues to raise vexing policy questions. As the new Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) completes its first year of existence, supporters and critics have differed sharply in their assessments. Disagreements have emerged between individuals, firms, and countries -- and even between different branches of the U.S. government. This has polarized debate and impeded information exchange between parties. This conference seeks to move attention back to the issues. CPSR will provide a forum in which stakeholders can engage in a civil discussion of potentially contentious issues. The value of this event will be to allow parties to articulate their positions in public, to engage in moderated debate with other parties, and to educate a broad audience of policymakers and stakeholders. The conference program will address three broad topics:
1. ICANN and the Emerging Institutional Order 2. Competition in the Domain Name System 3. New Technologies Impacting Internet Administration
