| The Quest for Global Self-Regulation |
| From new Top-level Domain to Napster and Hate speech, Internet is facing difficult and inevitable global challenges. As people can interact,
trade and work together globally with minimal cost instantly over the Net, such traditional frameworks as national border, tax and duty, censorship, and copyright are not as effectively functioning as before. What can we do, then? One answer is self-regulation. But as ICANN's recent At-Large membership director election illustrates, enforcing effective self- regulation not an easy task. At this panel, we will examine how much (rough) consensus we have. |

| Intellectual Property Debate |
| Does information want to be free or does it want to be expensive? Many musicians, movie studios, publishers, and software makers fear that Napster, Gnutella, Freenet, and similar Internet services threaten their ability to control their intellectual property. Content creators are fighting back with court challenges and new laws, such as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act in the United States. This session will be a formal debate over the whether in the future the Internet will increase or decrease the capability of content owners to control and charge for their copyrighted material. At the end, an audience poll will determine which side won the argument. |
