IGF: Governments and Net Users Prepare for Geneva Showdown
Kieren McCarthy writes on The Register:
A showdown between governments and the rest of society over the future of the internet will start this morning in Geneva.
For the next two days, in the grand surroundings of the Palais des Nations, a United Nations meeting will decide the formation of a new Internet Governance Forum (IGF).
The meeting gathers together the most powerful, important and knowledgeable people in the world concerning the internet and push them toward a single consensus on vital issues such as spam, freedom of speech, multilingualism, fraud, and countless others. Its recommendations will be adopted globally.
