Internet-related Public Policy Issues
A few words on Internet-related public policy issues
The rapid expansion of the internet has raised a wide array of public
policy issues, ranging from cybersecurity and data protection to multilingualism
and developmental aspects.
Many of these issues have been placed under the overall banner of
"internet governance". There is much debate as to which of the many
public policy issues fall under this general heading. The Working Group
on Internet Governance, in its July 2005 Report, defined internet governance
rather broadly as "the development and application by Governments, the
private sector and civil society, in their respective roles, of shared
principles, norms, rules, decision-making procedures, and programmes
that shape the evolution and use of the Internet".
This site gathers resources on internet-related public policy issues,
with a particular focus on internet governance and cybersecurity. There
are also resource pages on "emerging
policy issues", which cover data.
