I am hosting and participating in the second IGF-USA taking place at the Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, July 21, 2010. The one-day event will offer expert panels and workshops on important global Internet governance issues, as well as a plenary session on the continuation of the United Nations Internet Governance Forum.
The Internet Governance Forum USA (IGF-USA) is a multistakeholder effort to illuminate issues and cultivate constructive discussions about the future of the Internet. It provides a domestic forum in the US to engage civil society, government, technologists, research scientists, industry and academia, helping to create partnerships, coalitions and dialogues that demonstrate best practices and help move policy forward.
If you are interested in attending any of the sessions, please register at http://www.igf-usa.us
