Global Standard Setting in Internet Governance

Abstract: The standards development organization’s (SDO) role in Internet governance is notable given its central place in society. The bulk of decision-making for the Internet takes place in technical standards fora, such as the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), which have no formal state or public sector body membership. Recent years have seen a significant degree of spill-over of highly politicized policy areas such as data protection, digital rights management, security, and… Show more

“…Furthermore, some anecdotal evidence indicates that governments have the tools to influence actors in engineering networks. The Chinese government has been found to exert pressure on Chinese companies in internet governance networks (Galloway and Baogang, 2014; Harcourt et al, 2020; Shen, 2016). Moreover, government regulation might shape engineering collaboration.…”
