[Chapter-delegates] A session on Internet and Internet Governance at India - invitation to remote participation.

Sun Jan 15 07:49:19 PST 2012

Joly,

I will dig into my files or ask: contemporary to the presentation you mention was Vint's "Internet 101" delivered in the United Nations headquarters in New York, in a meeting which was the kick-start of all we now know and suffer related to WSIS, the WGIG, and the IGF.

That was the first global occasion in which the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mantra was expressed by Vint as a consequence of understanding how the Internet works. The understanding hasn't spread enough and the threats continue to arise in consequence.

This happened at the same time as big technology events became impossible to finance and the global INETs died (I was in an organizing commitee, together with others like Mike Nelson, which had to come to the conclusion that ISOC could not organize it any more; the events industry had collapsed and there was no sponsorship money, while ISOC itself was barely making it to the payroll each month with a staff of very few.)

This brings us back to the strategic importance of a very successful INET this year. It cannot substitute for the IGF but it can begin to be a very different kind of meeting - one which the global, multistakeholder Internet community owns with joy, instead of walking into it in a damage-limitation mode.

Yours,

Alejandro Pisanty

Siva

I have to process it, but I am going through old files and I have Vint Cerf's "How the Internet works in 5 minutes" from a presentation to ISOC-NY in 1999.

Hello

There is an event at Pondichery, India that attracts about 5000 + students for its 10 sessions of 500 participants each. This event is organized by Kokula Krishna Hari of our Chapter, and he has invited Olivier Crepin LeBlond to handle a session on  IPv6 Transition<http://icca.org.in/10.html> and I am to organize a session on History of Internet, Internet Governance and Opportunities for Participation<http://icca.org.in/09.html>.  Chapter funds are NOT utilized, but the session on History of Internet covers the History of ISOC for this audience of young professionals and students.

The session on the History of Internet would be January 30, 0930 hours UTC - 1230 hours UTC.  We will work on remote participation and hope to be successful. I will post an update on this event in the list, and would invite Chapter Members and Chapter Leaders to tune in and participate.

Though we have resources in the ISOC Chapter portel, I am looking for more, especially interesting short duration videos picteresquely narrating the history of the Internet and videos / slides on the present developments in Internet Governance, for a non-IG audience.

Thank you.
