GOVERNANCE
*****************
The Distributed Secretariat: Making the Internet
Governance Forum Work
outlines a new way for the Internet Governance Forum
to meet the need for a substantive Secretariat. John
Mathiason proposes a "distributed Secretariat" wherein
the Forum delegates to qualified groups the
responsibility for preparing the factual and normative
analysis that can serve as the starting point for its
public deliberations.

Seven Questions: Battling for Control of the Internet
Posted November 8, 2005
Should the United Nations control the Internet? That?s
the subject of a heated debate slated to take place at
the World Summit on the Information Society in Tunis
later this month. The European Union is pressing for a
U.N. role in governing the Internet, which is
currently in the hands of a U.S. nonprofit. Lawrence
Lessig breaks down the debate and offers his views.

Questioning Parked Domains and Google AdNonSense
Is contextual advertising helping or hurting the web?
It basically started with Google Adsense even though
the concept wasn?t new. It had never been done on the

whole lot of other companies scrambling to cash in on
the contextual ad craze.
