IGP note: This is a comment Professor Wolfgang Kleinwachter made regarding the future of the Internet Governance Forum. At the recent Geneva consultations, there was a disagreement over whether the UN Secretary-General's recommendations on the continuation of the IGF should be delivered through the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) or the Committee for Science and Technology for Development (CSTD) prior to the UN General Assembly receiving it to make a final decision. This seemingly obscure bureaucratic disagreement reflects a larger debate over how open and "multistakeholder" the IGF should be.

"My observation is that this is part of a bigger story to move backwards, to cancel openess, transparency and bottom up policy development and to withdraw from the principle of "multi-stakeholderism". It is aimed to get the Internet policy processes back under control of an intergovernmental regime and to silence non-governmental stakeholders, at least if it comes to public policy issues and decision making...."• Email to a friend • Article Search - http://www.feedblitz.com/f/f.fbz?Search=175425;11399726;Main Page;Kleinwachter: Don't move backwards on Internet governance;3479785 • •

An Australian judge has given the world's supporters of Internet freedom reason to heave a big sigh of relief. Judge J. Cowdroy of Sydney yesterday rejected an attempt by 34 film studios to make iiNet, Australia's third largest Internet Service provider, responsible for the copyright violations of a few of their users. The critical issue was whether iiNet was responsible for infringement because it failed to take any steps to stop infringing conduct. The judge said it wasn't.• Email to a friend • Article Search - http://www.feedblitz.com/f/f.fbz?Search=175425;11399726;Main Page;No to ISP Intermediary Liability Down Under;3479785 • •

The Workshop on the Economics of Information Security (WEIS) has become the leading forum for interdisciplinary research into Internet security issues. The most innovative work of the past few years, such as this interesting report for the EU agency ENISA, has emerged from there. Our report for the OECD also drew heavily from the research that WEIS brought together. I'm therefore very happy to serve on the programm committee of the ninth WEIS.

WEIS 2010 is to be held at Harvard University from June 7-8, 2010. It is co-located with the 11th ACM Conference on Electronic Commerce, June 9-11. The call for papers can be found here.
