> Hello
>
> Almost at Zero Budget, three short duration events happened at Isoc  
> India Chennai in three locations, 4-6 hours of travel between the  
> locations. Dr Olivier Crepin LeBlond, Chair of ICANN At Large led a  
> session on IPv6 at Technoforum, Pondichery where I was asked to  
> organize another 3 hour session on the History of Internet and  
> Internet Governance. Olivier was kind enough to extend his stay in  
> India by two days to visit Bharathidasan Institute of Management,  
> one of India’s most renowned Business Schools, at Trichy, and  
> Karunya University at Coimbatore, made possible largely by Chapter  
> Secretary Sarto’s efforts.
>
> The sessions on the three locations followed a simple pattern. While  
> Olivier as the Technical Expert had the tough task of going deeper  
> into the technical aspects in a plain language without compromising  
> on the need for precision, my presentation was a ‘rough’ history of  
> Internet and Internet Governance, prepared as a relatively non- 
> technical introduction.
>
> Jonathan Zittrain and Rebecca Mackinnon instantly replied to the  
> email messages sent for permission to screen videos of their talks,  
> so on the non-technical part a Jonathan Zittrain’s talk on “The  
> Future of Internet” and Rebecca MacKinnon’s Personal Democaracy  
> Forum and TED talks on “Consent of the Networked” could be included  
> which became an excellent primer on Internet Governance issues to  
> create interest.
>
> The topics revolved around the History of Internet and Internet  
> Governance in all three locations, but at BIM the theme was  
> “Internet for Business: Permissionless Innovation”.
>

>
> We are thankful to Olivier for his extended stay as a pleasant Guest  
> to reach out to a total of a little over 1000 students in 4 days !  
> We are thankful to B.I.M, and Karunya for the opportunity at short  
> notice.

> The rough history of Internet Governance for a non-technical  
> audience is far from complete as a full presentation by itself. The  
> presentation in its present form offers a glimpse, at best. We would  
> invite all Chapter leaders to collaborate on this prezi presentation  
> to develop this into a more accurate presentation, with a libre  
> office version, with more pictures and more videos and a fair  
> coverage of the most important of the Internet pioneers.

> ( I am sorry, we could not set up webcast on these locations as  
> intended )
