Documents: Internet Governance

Scientific papers

The papers I published on scientific journals.

General Internet Governance texts

These articles and documents describe my general views about the common principles of Internet governance and the relationships between governance institutions, governments, industry and users.

These are just my personal submissions - I've been writing more documents, together with others, as member of the At Large Organizing Clearinghouse, the At Large Advisory Committee Assistance Group and finally of the At Large Advisory Committee.

ICANNAtLarge.org

ICANNAtLarge.org (formerly ICANNAtLarge.com) was a bottom-up attempt to build an independent At Large organization to represent users in ICANN's policy making process. I have been one of the founders, and I was elected in both panel elections, being then chosen as Chairman twice. The life of this organization wasn't exactly boring, due to the huge amount of controversy that has been left by the improductive years of battles about how many Board members the At Large members should elect.

Structure and user representation in the Italian Naming Authority

The Italian Naming Authority dealt with policy making for the top level domain .it up to the end of 2003, going through, in its last years, many proposals of reorganization. Some of them came by me...
