RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, Nov. 12, 2007 (IPS/GIN) -- More than 1,500 people are gathered this week in Rio de Janeiro to discuss the infrastructure of the Internet, the domain name system, access to the Web, and Internet openness and security.
These issues may not be a concern for the majority of internet users, but they are already having a major impact on many users' lives. Representatives of the government, the private sector and civil society are discussing these topics under the overall theme of "Internet Governance for Development," during this year's Internet Governance Forum, which is scheduled to run Monday through Thursday.
