[WSIS CS-Plenary] A Framework Convention for the Internet?

[Erick Iriarte Ahon]

Hi!

Some years ago (in 2001) James Graham started the GIC Project (Group of 
Internationalization of Cyberspace) under the auspicies of the Facultad 
Libre de Derecho de Monterrey, México and Alfa-Redi.

I think that in this moment this project be an interesting contribution to 
the WSIS Process.

The principal documents made by the group:

Prof. James A. Graham & Erick Iriarte, Chairmen, GIC.
The Internationalization of Cyberspace: An E-qual Regime between developed 
and developing countries

J.A. Graham (in French)
Cyberspace is a new international space (from a sociological and legal 
point of view)

The resolutions of Quito, Monterrey and Lima will be usefull for the 
discuss, too, about a International Framework for the Cyberspace, you could 
fin in the website of  GIC Project: http://www.alfa-redi.org/gic/

Yours,

Erick Iriarte Ahon
