---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Konstantinos Komaitis <komaitis@isoc.org> Date: Tue, Nov 5, 2013 at 5:10 AM Subject: Internet Society launches call for academic and scholarly papers on multistakeholder participation Dear all, in August 2013, the Internet Society launched a two-phased process on multistakeholder participation. Seeking public input on how Internet governance has evolved over the years, the first phase included a questionnaire on a range of issues including multistakeholder participation, enhanced cooperation and issues of balance and participation. In this first phase, the Internet Society received approximately 300 responses from more than 53 countries around the world. An initial report was produced with an analysis of the results -- the report can be found here: http://www.internetsociety.org/sites/default/files/bp-msfinalreport-20132010... At the Global Internet Governance Academic Network (GigaNet) symposium in Bali, the Internet Society launched the second phase of the project, which includes a call for research and scholarly papers on the issue of multistakeholder governance and participation. I would like to invite you all to consider submitting papers for this call. Please feel free to disseminate this to your respective networks and mailing lists. If you are affiliated with any university, please do also distribute accordingly. The call for papers can be found via http://www.internetsociety.org/doc/call-papers Please note that the deadline for the submission of abstracts is December 31, 2013. Many thanks and please do not hesitate to contact me should you require any further information.
