Abstract
As main parts of this publication, the discussion topics and regulatory issues in the Internet governance context shall not be directly liaised with the deliberations related to the organizational framework, but be generally introduced by a more theoretical description of the philosophical and sociological environment. Therefore, two intensively addressed concepts, namely the concept of a social contract and the concept of multi-stakeholderism, are subsequently elaborated and appraised in respect to their applicability within the Internet governance context.
