Welcome to my page. I am a lawyer, living in S.Europe, with a keen interest in Internet governance.

Although we use the Internet in our daily lives, we often take it for granted. ''How often have we stopped to think about questions like, who governs the Internet? Is it regulated in any way? Who makes sure that we will be able to continue using the Internet? Why are people in some countries unable to speak freely online? Why are certain sites like Facebook inaccessible from some countries?''

These, and many other questions related to the Internet, are central to Internet governance. IG is a broad area related to the management and development of Internet policy and issues, including legal, technical, socio-cultural, developmental, and economic issues. Stakeholders in IG include individuals from the technical community, academia, business sector, civil society and NGOs, government representatives, and anyone having a genuine interest in the well-being of the Internet.

If you're interested in reading more about the Internet - and you should be - read about it on Wikipedia, ask questions, look for information, and take part in the process.
