[Apologies in case of multiple reception. I'm resending this message without the attached files, so that it can get through to the ECREA mailing list]

Dear colleagues,

Please find hereafter and attached the Program and the registration form of the 3rd GigaNet Annual Symposium on Internet Governance, that will be held in Hyderabad, India, on 2 December 2008, the day prior to the UN Internet Governance Forum (IGF).

The GigaNet Annual Symposium is an opportunity to showcase some of the best current research on Internet Governance from around the world and provides a venue for scholars to discuss and debate these crucial issues. The Global Internet Governance Academic Network (GigaNet) is an emerging scholarly community initiated in spring 2006. Its four principal objectives are to: (1) support the establishment of a global network of scholars specializing in Internet governance issues; (2) promote the development of Internet governance as a recognized, interdisciplinary field of study, (3) advance theoretical and applied research on Internet governance, broadly defined: and; (4) facilitate informed dialogue on policy issues and related matters between scholars and Internet governance stakeholders (governments, international organizations, the private sector, and civil society).

Previous GigaNet Symposia have been held in Athens, Greece, in 2006 and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2007, in conjunction with the annual meetings of the UN IGF.

Attendance at the Symposium is free and open to all interested parties, but registration is required. Please distribute widely. The URL of the Symposium is: http:// tinyurl.com/ynsuuf

Best regards,
Meryem Marzouki (2008 GigaNet Program Committee Chair)
