  1. Management and governance of the Future InternetThe Legal Perspective Davide M. Parrilli, ICRI 23 September 2008 http://www.law.kuleuven.be/icri

  2. Governance and management from the perspective of Internet-based service providers and users: both of them create content, re-draft this distinction? Governance and management mechanisms apply to both Internet-based service providers and users (to a very different extent).

  3. Liability for the content created by the users: traditionally they are liable for the content they download (e.g. criminal charges for downloading illegal pornographic material), now they can be liable for the content they create. • Balance between liability of the users and of Internet-based service providers: to what extent the latter should monitor the material created by users? Impact on governance and management (costs!).

  4. Governance and management for Internet-based service providers: reduce liabilities (illicit content, violations of IPRs, taxes,…): servers in the middle of the sea (Google case)? • Pure freedom – escape from laws – no legal protection: is this the future in the field of governance and management?

  5. Governance and management for users and Internet-based service providers: more liabilities for both? • E.g.: criminal charges against Second Life users (cyber stealing of virtual goods, cyber rape, etc), liability for bloggers (as proposed in Italy).

  6. Liability for Internet-based service providers - violation of SLAs: • When an SLA has been violated? Who decides that? • Third Trusted Party: competent, fast, efficient. • Enforcement in Courts: time-consuming, judges lack experience, ADR systems should be preferred.

  7. Governance and management: options for Internet actors: • Users: not many options, reduced governance and management possibilities, weak position before the law. • Internet-based service providers: more options, starting from the place of establishment.
