Last modified January 5 by tomlowenhaupt Faced with managing a global resource, global society has experimented with a number of governance organizations and processes since the Internet's founding. Here we focus on the ICANN and touch on the IETF, the U.N.'s Internet Governance Forum, the Internet Society, International Telecommunications Union, civil society, and other organizations and developments as they impact the operation of .nyc and more broadly, city-TLDs.

Qui contrôle Internet ? Le Monde.fr | • Mis à jour le | Par Damien Leloup Après la publication de notre article consacré au projet Commotion, qui permet de créer des réseaux informatiques non censurés et faciles à déployer dans des pays dictatoriaux, de nombreux lecteurs nous ont interpellés pour savoir qui contrôle aujourd'hui Internet. En raison de sa nature décentralisée, Internet n'est pas "contrôlé" par un unique organisme, Etat, ou entreprise. Contrairement à une idée répandue, le réseau n'est pas non plus une "jungle" totalement libre : à tous les échelons, de nombreux organismes exercent ou peuvent exercer un contrôle ou une censure sur les informations qui y circulent. Les stuctures les plus fondamentales d'Internet sont sous le contrôle de l'Icann, l'Internet corporation for assigned names and numbers.

La gouvernance de cet organisme stratégique fait l'objet de nombreux débats : plusieurs pays lui reprochent notamment la sur-représentation des Américains dans les différentes commissions. Internet est en réalité contrôlé par 14 personnes qui détiennent 7 clés secrètes. Tout ce que vous auriez aimé savoir sur le fonctionnement de l'Internet sans jamais avoir osé le demander. Cela ressemble à quelque chose tout droit sorti d'un livre de Dan Brown, mais ce n'est pas le cas : tout l'Internet est contrôlé par sept clés physiques et réelles. James Ball, rédacteur chez The Guardian, a été récemment autorisé à observer le rituel hautement sécurisé connu sous le nom de cérémonie des clés.

Les personnes qui dirigent la cérémonie font partie d'une organisation appelée the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). ICANN est chargé d'attribuer des adresses Internet numériques aux sites Web et aux ordinateurs et de les traduire en adresses Web que les gens entrent dans leurs navigateurs. Par exemple, entrez 64.27.101.155 dans votre navigateur et cela vous amènera sur la page Web de Business Insider. Si quelqu'un devait prendre le contrôle de la base de données ICANN, cette personne pourrait contrôler Internet. Article de Julie Bort. Who Controls the Internet? The Internet is subject to control because its infrastructure is subject to control Who Controls the Internet? Illusions of a Borderless World is a 2006 book by Jack Goldsmith and Tim Wu that offers an assessment of the struggle to control the Internet.[1] Starting with a discussion of the early vision of a borderless global community, the authors present some of the most prominent individuals, ideas and movements that have played key roles in developing the Internet.

As law professors at Harvard and Columbia, respectively, Goldsmith and Wu assert the important role of government in maintaining Internet law and order while debunking the claims of techno-utopianism that have been espoused by theorists such as Thomas Friedman. Overview[edit] The book has three parts. Part One: The Internet Revolution[edit] Jon Postel Goldsmith and Wu describe key changes in control over the Internet that occurred in the 1990s, beginning with consolidation of power by the U.S. Reviews[edit] See also[edit] Gouvernance d'Internet. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Le terme de gouvernance d'Internet désigne l’élaboration et l’application par les États, le secteur privé, et la société civile, dans le cadre de leurs rôles respectifs, de principes, normes, règles, procédures de prise de décisions et programmes communs propres à modeler l’évolution et l’usage d'Internet, selon la définition du groupe de travail sur la gouvernance d'Internet donnée lors du Sommet Mondial sur la Société de l'Information[1].

La gouvernance d'Internet se distingue du E-Gouvernement (ou administration électronique), s'étendant à toutes normes juridiques et techniques prises à l'égard d'Internet ; toutefois, l'administration électronique ne peut se passer de telles normes. Les réglementations et l'organisation de la gouvernance d'Internet ont fait l'objet de différents débats entre parties prenantes du Net, avec des visions différentes sur la manière de faciliter la libre communication des idées et de la connaissance.

With the Internet being a truly global phenomenon, understanding how this is controlled should yield observations of relevance for the study of global governance more generally. The Internet, and how it is controlled, should therefore be a concern for all students of world politics, and not only for the smaller albeit multidisciplinary community of scholars engaging in “Internet studies.” A first step is to acknowledge that Internet control varies across time, space, and issue-areas. To better understand such complex patterns of governance, we need to go beyond universal generalizations.

In an attempt to support the middle-range theorizing, which arguably is needed, this essay introduces and briefly unpacks three analytical questions: What are the key aspects of Internet control? Control of What? We suggest that the notion of Internet control2 breaks down into three dimensions: (1) access to the Internet, (2) functionality of the Internet, and (3) activity on the Internet. L'UNESCO et le Forum sur la gouvernance de l’Internet. Index on Censorship. Internet governance. 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.

This article describes how the Internet was and is currently governed, some of the controversies that occurred along the way, and the ongoing debates about how the Internet should or should not be governed in the future. Internet governance should not be confused with E-Governance, which refers to governments' use of technology to carry out their governing duties. Background[edit] No one person, company, organization or government runs the Internet.

It is a globally distributed network comprising many voluntarily interconnected autonomous networks. It operates without a central governing body with each constituent network setting and enforcing its own policies.

When the World Wide Web was created in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee (not to be confused with the Internet itself, which is the core network developed many years earlier), its main objective was to enable the free exchange of information via interlinked hypertext documents. Almost 20 years later, that objective has been accomplished on most parts of the world, but not in all of them.

Some countries are trying hard to keep an iron hand over the flow of information that takes place on the Web. Below you will find the most controversial ones. 10. Pakistan The rundown Pakistan started censoring the web in 2000, when the main target was anti-Islamic content. How does the censorship work? There are only three international gateways on the country, and all of them are controlled by the Pakistan Telecommunication Company.

Ensemble allons jusqu'à 200 000 Publié le 29 Juin 2011Le gouvernement Sarkozy veut censurer internet par un décret qui pourrait bloquer des sites et pages de recherche que nous utilisons tous les jours. Mais un tollé national peut stopper cet assaut contre la liberté d'expression. Ce nouveau décret permettrait aux ministres de retirer tout contenu internet menaçant selon eux "l'ordre public", sans passer par un juge. C'est pourquoi un Conseil en charge de l'Internet créé par Sarkozy a condamné cette mesure comme étant inconstitutionnelle, et les experts internationaux sont en état d'alerte.

After posting my previous ramblings on the subject of Internet Governance (IG) I’ve been quite busy in my head, thinking about where I stand on this subject and how best to define the various aspects of IG within the so-called «Nordic model» that applies to Government, Business and Citizen of Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark (the Nordic countries).

This time, I’m exploring parts of IG in the Nordics, as seen from Norway. First of all, I’m not so sure that the Internet are seen in the same way in the Nordic region as a whole. I might be wrong, but Finland seem to be ahead of both Norway and Sweden, with Iceland and Denmark fast approaching from behind. Internet access is written into law as a citizen right in Finland and Sweden but not in the other countries (yet). The ‘strike first’ policies with technical/digital hindering of negatively charged activities should certainly not be adopted in such a civilised country as ours? So? Back to the main issue eh?

Explications, avec des vrais morceaux de Maurice Lévy dedans. De la même manière que Cannes donne envie aux gens de faire des films, l’e-G8 doit être une vitrine du web. Dans la bouche de Maurice Lévy, puissant patron du groupe de communication Publicis et président de ce pré-sommet consacré aux questions numériques, cette phrase résonne comme un slogan publicitaire à destination des jeunes entrepreneurs. Pendant deux jours, les 24 et 25 mai, le jardin des Tuileries va se transformer en FIAC de l’Internet, à l’initiative de Nicolas Sarkozy. En nous recevant dans son bureau des Champs-Elysées, le P-DG se veut rassurant: “Nous avons l’habitude de ce type de manifestations, nous organisons Davos”.

Et c’est peut-être ce qui inquiète certains. Dans les tuyaux depuis 2006 Pour Lévy, l’e-G8 est un couronnement. National Advanced IPv6 Centre of Excellence. The Internet represents as one of the most successful examples of sustainability and its benefits owing to the continuous investment and commitment to research and development of Information infrastructure. The Internet today as a widespread information infrastructure involves many aspects; technological, organizational and community. It has influenced not just computer communication but the entire society ranging from e-commerce to information acquisition and community operations. Commercialization of the Internet changed the landscape completely. It created a market for global data delivery service.

The Internet has evolved and evolving, bringing new applications, services, new technology and products. With growing interest in use of the Internet the number and type of stakeholders involved has increased.

Sarkozy addresses the E-G8 Origin[edit] The idea for the event came up on a blog post by Tariq Krim in which the founder of Netvibes complained that France doesn't have its own CTO.[2] The blog post was reposted by Arnaud Dassier and Loïc Le Meur, and read by the Elysée's technical counsellor Nicolas Princen, who then convinced Nicolas Sarkozy to take a step towards the French digital natives after the failure of Hadopi.[3] Attendees[edit] Content and reactions[edit] Zuckerberg closed the event References[edit] External links[edit]
