Abstract

Internet governance is one of the hot issues that emerged during the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in Tunis November 2005. The discussions did not start then but much earlier. This article gives an overview of the International Telecommunciation Union's contribution to the debate as well as author's personal views on possible paths for Internet governance development. In this author's view the debates in WSIS and IGF preparatory processes reflected the reality that Internet governance is not limited to technical, nor to policy issues only. It increasingly includes important social, economic, national security and, to some extent, sovereignty issues.
