Dear Chapter Leaders,<br>
<br>
I wanted to make sure all of you knew about the event our DC Chapter
in partnership with CSIS was putting on tomorrow on <span
itemprop="description"><span class="fsl"><span
class="text_exposed_show">The Geopolitics of Internet
Governance </span></span></span><br>
<span itemprop="description"><span class="fsl"><span
class="text_exposed_show"><br>
The international landscape calls for a more compelling
narrative for internet governance than the US –centric one
inherited from the ‘90s. Will it be possible to accommodate
non-western state’s (this is much more than China and Russia)
desire for a larger role for governments without throwing the
multi-stakeholder model and (more importantly) human rights
overboard?<br>
<br>
Please join us and our distinguished panel for an important
discussion about the issues confronting Internet governance.<br>
<br>
<b>Panelists</b><br>
Phil Verveer, Former US Coordinator, International
Communications and Information Policy, US Department of State<br>
Veni Markovski, ICANN, Vice President for Russia, CIS and
Eastern Europe<br>
Sally Wentworth, Senior Director, Strategic Public Policy<br>
Bill Smith, Senior Policy Advisor, Technology Evangelist,

<b>Moderators</b><br>

Policy Program, CSIS<br>
