Event Description:
The Internetâs status as a communication medium that is decentralized,
scalable and global continues to pose challenging new problems in
governance and regulation. GigaNet, an international scholarly
community created in 2006, holds a two-day conference to explore issues
such as IP address scarcity, ICANN accountability, the role of social
media in toppling dictatorships, censorship, privacy online, and the
tensions between national security and Internet freedom. Assistant
Secretary for Commerce Larry Strickling (NTIA) will provide the keynote
speech during lunch on Thursday, May 5. (The event will be held in the
new, LEEDS GOLD/certified SIS Building on the campus of American
University in northwest Washington, DC.)
Day one engages policy makers, academics and civil society at large in
dialogue on policy issues in global Internet governance. The goal is
to facilitate informed dialogue on policy issues and related matters
between scholars and Internet governance stakeholders.
Day two features presentations of scholarly research based on peer
reviewed papers. The goal is to support scholarship and advance
theoretical and applied research on Internet governance. All are
welcome to attend; preregistration is required.
