[WSIS CS-Plenary] Should a "Global Alliance" succeed the UN ICT TF?

[Milton Mueller]

The Internet Governance Project (http://www.internetgovernance.org) has
released its first analysis of the idea of a "Global Alliance" as a
potential successor to the United Nations ICT Task Force.  Prepared as a
contribution to ongoing discussions of the concept, the Project examined
the how a multistakeholder alliance could contribute to international
policy formulation on ICT, and why it should use new, Internet-based
collaborative technologies to broaden participation. The paper reviews
four examples of global alliances in other fields to see what lessons
might be learned.
