Internet Governance: The State of Play
Por Carlos Guadian • 14 de Septiembre, 2004Interesante lectura realizada por “Internet Governance Project” y que se puede consultar en United Nations Information and Communication Technologies Task Force.
The Global Forum on Internet Governance held by the UNICT Task Force in New York on 25-26 March concluded that Internet governance issues were many and complex. The Secretary-General’s Working Group on Internet Governance will have to map out and navigate this complex terrain as it makes recommendations to the World Summit on an Information Society in 2005. To assist in this process, the Forum recommended, in the words of the Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations at the closing session, that a matrix be developed “of all issues of Internet governance addressed by multilateral institutions, including gaps and concerns, to assist the Secretary-General in moving forward the agenda on these issues.”
This paper takes up the Deputy Secretary-General’s challenge. It is an analysis of the state of play in Internet governance in different forums, with a view to showing: (1) what issues are being addressed (2) by whom, (3) what are the types of consideration that these issues receive and (4) what issues are not adequately addressed.
There is already some governance of the Internet, as many of the studies presented to the Global Forum show. The governance takes place in a variety of organizations and regimes: some are intergovernmental, as international conventions are implemented; some are in the business world, as technical standards are developed; still others take place in civil society institutions. If all these different regimes function properly to maintain order, the Internet governance issue is simple: do no harm and let them be. However, if key component regimes do not function well, or produce contradictions or conflict with other regimes, or if major areas are missing, then the conflicts or problems must be addressed by new agreements.
