Abstract
One of the widely shared descriptions of Internet governance is: the development and application of shared principles, norms, rules, decision-making procedures, and programs that shape the evolution and use of the Internet. It is useful to summarize the birth and development of this technology and the different “managing” organisations in charge through time: starting from the 1960s, the World Summit of the Information Society (WSIS) to the actual Internet Governance Forum (IGF) and the concept of “Cyber Sovereignty” together with the Wuhzen World Internet Conference.
Networking; the “Power” of the Internet. Who is ruling the Internet? What does ICANN do? What is the Internet Governance Forum (IGF)? IGF Mandate. The Multi-stakeholder Advisory Group (MAG). Internet Governance: European Commission Initiative. Globalization of the Internet Governance; the role of Public Governance Authorities. Side Effects due to Digital Economy. Internet Governance in Russia and China: Cyber Sovereignty
