Talk:Internet governance

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The article was radically changed on 14 February 2007 by User:Malhi gurdial. He (or she) replaced a slightly historical article which detailed the actual organisations and processes that control the Internet with a new article discussing the politics of Internet governance and incorporating some text from the previous article.

The new article is non-wiki style, and has not been wikified to any great extent in two months. Further, a lot of useful information about practical Internet governance has been lost.

I propose to revert the article to the 6th February version, so as to restore a wikified and technically useful article (which still needs improvement).

Malhi Gurdial and the rest of us will then have the opportunity to reorganise and strengthen the article with the new information.

Major reorganisations should probably be discussed in the talk pages (or possibly on the "Article Creation and Improvement Drive" project, if that gets off the ground).

I'm a newbie here. I made changes to this article as part of an assignment for a class (Internet and Society: Technologies and Politics of Control) at Harvard Law School's Berkman Center for Internet and Society. I rearranged some of the sections (for instance, moving the "Definition" section to the beginning), added some text (such as Prof. Yochai Benkler's "layers" of governance), and provided a couple of citations and external links. I would like to further develop this article by elaborating on the controversies involving Internet governance, discussing proposed models, and exploring certain issues, such as the role of the developing world. I would also like to add a photo and some additional links.
