Summary
The history of this book is long, in Internet time. The original texts and the overall approach, including the five-basket methodology, were developed in 1997 for a training course on Information and Communications Technology Policy for Commonwealth state officials. Since 1997, through subsequent courses and online programmes, Diplo has trained close to 600 diplomats, computer specialists, civil society activists and academics in the field of ICT/Internet Governance. With every delivery of the course, materials were updated and improved. In 2004, for the first time, Diplo published a print version of its materials on Internet Governance, in a booklet entitled “Internet Governance – Issues, Actors and Divides.” This booklet formed part of the Information Society Library, and was co-authored by Stefano Baldi, Eduardo Gelbstein and Jovan Kurbalija. Special thanks are due to Eduardo Gelbstein, who made substantive contributions in the sections dealing with cybersecurity, spam and privacy, and to Vladimir Radunovic and Ginger Paque who updated the course materials. Comments and suggestions of other colleagues are acknowledged in the text. Stefano Baldi, Eduardo Gelbstein and Vladimir Radunovic all contributed significantly to developing the concepts behind the illustrations in the book. In 2008, a special version of the booklet was published in cooperation with NIXI-India on the occasion of the Internet Governance Forum 2008 held in Hyderabad, India. This booklet has been prepared for the IGF 2009 (Sharm El Sheik, Egypt) in partnership with the Ministry of Telecommunication of Egypt and the Commonwealth Internet Governance Forum.
