The growing awareness of the social, economic, and political impact of the Internet on society has brought the question of Internet Governance into sharper focus. The process of addressing legal issues and the social consequences of technological developments invariably lags behind technological innovation. This applies to the Internet, too.

Policy Makers' Section

This Section is primarily for policy makers who deal with national ICT policy strategies, as well as ICT governance or global and regional policy frameworks. You'll find language, guides and other information which provide a basis for drafting gender-sensitive ICT policy frameworks.

Beginners' Section

For those of you who are new to ICT policy, or new to the intersections of gender and ICT policy, we've created this section for you. We want you to see ICTs as much more than marvelous tools for networking or campaigning. The internet presents opportunities for dialogue, debate, participation and action that do not exist elsewhere. Gender and ICT advocates need to defend and promote the internet as an accessible and secure global communications medium for all of civil society. We must be part of the process that governs the way that information will be disseminated in the future - to encourage the free flow of communication between all nations and peoples.

El 15 de setembre del 2005 la ICANN va aprovar el primer domini d'Internet de primer nivell destinat a una llengua i cultura humanes en particular: .cat. Aquest article explica la història de la campanya catalana per aconseguir el domini .cat en contra de l'oposició política de l'antic govern conservador espanyol i la resistència d'alguns dels encarregats de prendre les decisions en els cercles de la ICANN. Mentre que el .cat crea un precedent per a un major ús de les llengües minoritàries a Internet, hi ha importants obstacles per a altres candidats a dominis de primer nivell basats en la llengua. L'article parla dels factors concomitants que calen per a donar suport a un major ús de qualsevol llengua minoritària a Internet.
