Register
Private workshop, by invitation only. This Oxford workshop follows from the public Workshop and Reception held on 31 August 2006. It brings together an invited group of international experts with differing perspectives on Internet research, policy and practice, with a view to clarifying what is at issue for the Internet Governance Forum (IGF). In particular, workshop participants will be asked to consider what it is that is politically, technically, culturally or otherwise difficult to resolve about these issues, such that they deserve the attention of the IGF.
