This page is part of the Map of Internet Governance, which aims to provides an objective overview of the various issues, institutions and fora in Internet Governance. For those topics where significant disagreements exist between viewpoints of different stakeholder groups, the goal is to summarize all of the significant viewpoints and the main supporting arguments.

At the current stage, this Map is still very incomplete. Textual contributions and other suggestions for improvements are very welcome via the "edit source" link above, as well as on the "Dynamic Working Coalition for Internet Governance Mapping" mailing list.
