Public Participation in ICANN: Farce, or Force?
December 15, 2003
Berkman Executive Director
John Palfrey, along with research assistants Clifford Chen,
Sam Hwang and
Noah Eisenkraft, has written a report which considers
ICANN's success in creating an open, democratic decision-making system using public forums for the Internet user community. Berkman Senior Fellow
Andrew McLaughlin responds to this in his paper, "The Virtues of Deliberative Policymaking: A Response to 'Public Participation in ICANN.'" The papers,
linked from this single page, are an example of the Berkman Center's continued dedication to debate - even within its own ranks.
