Evaluation of the Ukrainian Internet Governance Eco-System as a key element for inter-stakeholder strategic communication (original) (raw)
Nowadays, the multistakeholder model of Internet governance is considered to be the best mechanism for maintaining an open, resilient, and secure Internet because, among other things, it is based on equal participation of all interested parties – including businesses, technical experts, civil society, academia and governments – who adopt mutually significant decisions by consensus through a bottom-up process. This is the process that is used to elaborate on policies affecting the underlying functioning of the Internet domain system. However, there are a lot of aspects, fields, communities and states where a multistakeholder model of Internet governance has not yet proved to be successful/to be working. The main question which this research trying to answer is what the place of Ukraine in global internet governance ecosystem is and what actions are needed to develop the mechanism locally.

The spread of digital technologies has led to the global digitalization of all types of public activities. The digital economy emerging during this process has become a leading factor in world economic growth and one of the criteria of national development. The digital economy is based on the Internet, which ensures the functioning of new business models, forms of social interaction and public diplomacy. The Internet governance system differs from other modern international systems of public and political relations in that the leading role in it is played by non-governmental organizations, in particular, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and the Internet Society (ISOC). The activities of states are significantly limited by the basic properties of the system, which complicates the implementation of the state’s digital sovereignty. The aim of this article is to determine ways to resolve this discrepancy.Analyzing the current state of Internet governance, ...

The open and unified Web we enjoy today began as a US government project – ARPANET - in the late 1960’s. Over the years, the governance of this tool changed hands from the Department of Defense, to the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Commerce. The formation of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) in 1998, meant that the organization could oversee the governance of the Internet on behalf of the U.S government, under the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) functions contract. This move would years later spark criticism from various Internet stakeholders, who called for a neutral body to coordinate the Internet. As a result, the IANA transition was effected with the primary objective of relinquishing the U.S government’s control of the Internet, into the hands of the global community. Today, the Internet is governed through a multi-stakeholder model and bottom-up approach. This research seeks to provide a general understanding of Internet governance, the ecosystem, emerging technologies and issues, as well as identify the various stakeholders in the Internet governance ecosystem, and the respective roles they play in the quest to ensure a shared global ownership of this valuable resource.
