Hello, all If you intend to submit a paper to the 2007 GigaNet symposium, now is the time to complete your proposal and send it in. The official deadline is August 1, so time is getting short. You can read the complete Call for Papers here: http://internetgovernance.org/pdf/GigaNet07CFP.pdf Briefly, there is an interest in papers on: "The Changing Institutionalization of Internet Governance" -- papers can examine institutionalization theoretically, by placing it in the context of theories of international relations, international regimes, and global governance; or empirically, through critical assessment of its outcomes so far. "Toward a Development Agenda for Internet Governance" -- papers that analyze the positive and negative linkages between existing global Internet governance mechanisms and development; the possible need for new mechanisms; and the potential foundations of a holistic development agenda. "Critical Policy Issues in Internet Governance" -- examples of such policy issues would include network neutrality, digital identity, privacy/security, content regulation, intellectua l property rights/DRM, or others.
