Dear all, I’m following up on the presentation that I delivered at the recent RIPE Meeting on a research project that I’m doing with the folks at CIRA (the Canadian Internet Registration Authority). The subject of the research is the Internet technical community’s perspective on multistakeholder governance as we approach WSIS+20, and as a key element of this work, we’ve developed a questionnaire for members of the Internet technical community
I’d like to invite and encourage the folks on this list to respond. You can find the questionnaire (a Google Form) here: http://cira.ca/research The planned outcome is a paper to be published early in the new year that will draw on the responses received to the questionnaire, and contribute to the technical community’s conversation about what we hope to see come out of this WSIS review, and what we can bring to the table. The technical community’s own governance processes were an important influence on the WSIS embrace of multistakeholder governance; at this inflection point for digital governance more broadly, how will the technical community contribute to the ongoing evolution of that approach? The paper isn't intended to be a comprehensive survey of the “technical community’s views", but I’m hoping it can capture some important insights and ideas from those who’ve helped to drive the “open, transparent, bottom-up” policy processes that are at the Internet’s core! All responses are anonymous, and I’m looking for personal perspectives, rather than institutional positions. The deadline is listed as this week (apologies for the late follow-up), but I’m more than happy to take responses up to the end of next week (22 November). I really appreciate any time that you can contribute! (And, of course, I’m happy to answer any questions you might have, on-list or off!)
