		<description><![CDATA[As multistakeholder governance nears a critical juncture, leaders must navigate diverging views, geopolitical pressures and technological upheaval. With sovereignty concerns mounting, the Internet's institutions face a complex future that demands deft stewardship. <a href="https://circleid.com/poststhree-views-of-multistakeholder-leadership-in-the-age-of-sovereignty">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> ICANN at a Crossroads: Rebuilding Internet Governance in an Age of Disruption (Featured Blog)</title>

		<description><![CDATA[2025 is not a banner year for the status quo. A fashion for deregulation, ignoring processes and questioning whatever was long-established is finding enough adherents that even things which work well are being upended. That's why those looking for leverage to use in hurried dealmaking, or countries with plans to rebalance where digital power lies, may find a handy tool in ICANN. <a href="https://circleid.com/postsicann-at-a-crossroads-rebuilding-internet-governance-in-an-age-of-disruption">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the same way monarchs are proclaimed - by powerful stakeholders attending a coronation and not objecting - the UN's International Telecommunication Union (ITU) took a mandate last week to coordinate AI Safety worldwide, with most industry leaders and relevant UN agencies were present when it did so. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20240607-the-uns-ai-leadership">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> Move Fast and Regulate Things (Featured Blog)</title>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://circleid.com/posts20190624_move_fast_and_regulate_things</guid>
		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20190624_move_fast_and_regulate_things</link>
		<description><![CDATA[The international community is converging on one notion at least: that Facebook cannot be prosecutor, judge and jury of its own achievements and transgressions. The calls to regulate social media companies first came from various legislative bodies, then from civil society and national policymakers, then from the CEO of Facebook itself, "to preserve what is best about [the Internet]." If some scepticism followed that was natural enough &ndash; was the company sincere in calling for more regulation? <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20190624_move_fast_and_regulate_things">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If it's not an era of intense faith in the multilateral system, somewhere among the Trump Administration's anonymous adults in the room there is a believer, and the Internet might be the better for it. Evidence for the existence of this fifth columnist lies in the US National Cyber Strategy, launched last month under the commander-in-chief's unprepossessing signature, which looks to provide security for America's connected economy. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20181008_pen_testing_the_us_cyber_strategy">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> US Congress Re-Launches Treaty Talks on Internet Economy (Featured Blog)</title>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20180413_us_congress_re_launches_treaty_talks_on_internet_economy</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Final echoes of the US Senate committee's questions of Facebook this week will only fade in the UN Security Council where, in a few years, Member States will adopt a treaty on regulation of the Internet Economy. By opening wide the door to questions on privacy, revenue, security and purpose, Congress showed its well-placed concern and signaled that others can too. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20180413_us_congress_re_launches_treaty_talks_on_internet_economy">More...</a>]]></description>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20170731_igf_brexit_moment</link>
		<description><![CDATA[When people feel powerless, they sometimes push for change at any price, and in the absence of a guillotine reach for institutions instead. This makes some sense: at worst it feels good, and at best if you believe things can't get any worse, then what's to lose by shaking them up? ... Normally potent members of ICANN's community -- people and entities for whom the sensation of powerlessness is largely unfamiliar -- are nonetheless feeling that way in respect of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF). <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20170731_igf_brexit_moment">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> ICANN Can Help China Secure Cyberspace (Featured Blog)</title>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20170307_icann_can_help_china_secure_cyberspace</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Before the righteous too much deride the "International Strategy of Cooperation on Cyberspace" emanating from China's cooperative one-party state, consider what progress it represents: a policy document that begins with principles, speaks often of cooperation, and clearly details the bilateral and multilateral approaches the country intends. By any measure, this is good practice from a keystone of the international system. And it offers a gift to those who would wish the Internet to be governed otherwise. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20170307_icann_can_help_china_secure_cyberspace">More...</a>]]></description>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20170131_trump_tides_and_the_us_tech_sector</link>
		<description><![CDATA[When a tax is too high people avoid it, and when the political cost of supporting the US government becomes too high, foreign governments will avoid it too. Add to that cost America's new inclination to withdrawal, and consider the muddy tidal flat on which could soon list the hull of what used to be American technological primacy... When countries try to develop technology policies to compete with the United States, they often begin with rules over immigration. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20170131_trump_tides_and_the_us_tech_sector">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> Touching Enhanced Cooperation (Featured Blog)</title>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20140227_touching_enhanced_cooperation</link>
		<description><![CDATA[A concrete plinth was lain at the foundation of durable Enhanced Cooperation this week when ISOC unveiled its IXP toolkit and portal. In simple English (which no doubt will be expanded to other languages) the soft launch modestly seeks feedback, corrections, and further input to the already pithy and instructive content. More to the point, this resource responds to one of the principle demands of those who do not recognize themselves in the multistakeholder model: how do we get our own IXP? <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20140227_touching_enhanced_cooperation">More...</a>]]></description>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20131008_speaking_up_for_the_internet</link>
		<description><![CDATA[For most of this year governments from outside the G8 have not wavered from their essential themes on the Internet: they regard it as a shared resource that works in part as a result of their own investment in infrastructure, they want to be included in its governance through a decision-making process that is transparent, accessible and, in broad character, multilateral, and they want to be able to trust it and know that as much as it is a tool of growth for others, it can also be for them. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20131008_speaking_up_for_the_internet">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> ITU 2.0: Take Time to Make Good Decisions (Featured Blog)</title>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20130225_itu_20_take_time_to_make_good_decisions</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Since the World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT) discharged delegates from an atmosphere of restrained acidity last December, ITU habitués have wondered how that outcome will affect the rhythms of their regular work in Geneva. This is no less true for governments that approved of the WCIT treaty as it is for those which did not, though the immediate anxiety may be greatest for the latter - for those whom we can call, with sloppy shorthand, the G8. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20130225_itu_20_take_time_to_make_good_decisions">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> What to Say About the Treaty on the ITRs: Crib Notes (Featured Blog)</title>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://circleid.com/posts20120528_what_to_say_about_the_treaty_on_the_itrs_crib_notes</guid>
		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20120528_what_to_say_about_the_treaty_on_the_itrs_crib_notes</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Look past the panic over December's World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT); it's unlikely to be a catastrophe for several practical reasons: (1) the negotiation lasts ten days, so there is not enough time for 193 countries to agree on how to phrase catastrophe (2) large multilateral events tend to converge, like so many voters, on the centre, and (3) the putative chairman of the event is a seasoned grown-up, and will not allow the treaty to break the global information grid. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20120528_what_to_say_about_the_treaty_on_the_itrs_crib_notes">More...</a>]]></description>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20120426_un_moves_on_internet_governance_latest_dispatch</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Some unsettling plans declared themselves at the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) this week as countries prepared for the up-coming treaty-making jamboree called the World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT). This community will now have to decide what it does about them. ... It was significant to the CircleID community that the ITU's top dog -- the Secretary General - appeared in person before the assembled countries with a reassurance: the broad and unusual WCIT treaty negotiation, though it may treat many issues, would not take up Internet governance. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20120426_un_moves_on_internet_governance_latest_dispatch">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> WTSA, WCIT, WTPF: Apocalypse Now? (Featured Blog)</title>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20120309_wtsa_wcit_wtpf_apocalypse_now</link>
		<description><![CDATA[The year 2012 isn't meant to be apocalyptic, and with a little forethought it won't be, but it is the year in which we will reopen the International Telecommunications Regulations (ITRs). For many companies this will be bad news for reasons that are already well-understood and for new reasons that countries keep piling onto the agenda: a recent favorite from Russia calls for the treaty to govern and regulate all telecommunications services, "existing, emerging, and future." <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20120309_wtsa_wcit_wtpf_apocalypse_now">More...</a>]]></description>
