Governing Cyberspace

The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) is a two phase conference from which the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) emerged.

Such international efforts are important since they lay the groundwork for a future convention that will try to govern what can be called global cyberspace. Such governance is not only aimed at securing cyberspace from criminal and terrorist misuse, but also to assure that the developing world will be able to exploit cyber-resources.

Lets wish them luck, visit their sites, and contribute to their mission. After all, we too are members of the “interested stakeholders” which the The World Summit on the Information Society identifies as one player in the development of Internet governance structures.
