CSIS, B1 Conference Center

The Center for Strategic and International Studies and the Washington DC Chapter of the Internet Society

Invite you to attend a panel discussion on:

The Geopolitics of Internet Governance 

The international landscape calls for a more compelling narrative for internet governance than the US –centric one inherited from the ‘90s. Will it be possible to accommodate non-western state’s (this is much more than China and Russia) desire for a larger role for governments without throwing the multi-stakeholder model and (more importantly) human rights overboard?

Please join us and our distinguised panel for an important discussion about the issues confronting Internet governance.

Phil Verveer, Former US Coordinator, International Communications and Information Policy, US Department of State

Veni Markovski, ICANN, Vice President for Russia, CIS and Eastern Europe

Sally Wentworth, Senior Director, Strategic Public Policy

Bill Smith, Senior Policy Advisor, Technology Evangelist, PayPal

What is the state of broadband competition in the US?

Do American consumers really pay more for slower speeds?

What is the best way to get to universal access?

What objectives should national broadband policy try to achieve?
