Over the past few months I had the pleasure of working with a great group of people on planning the next symposium of the Global Internet Governance Academic Network. The final program is now available online and I am also posting it below. I think it will be a very interesting day and if you are interested in internet governance, you should definitely try to participate (there should be options for remote participation announced soon).
I have more Internet Governance Forum related updates, which I will post soon. In the meantime, here is the program of the symposium, which will take place on September 13th:
