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://
