Danny Weitzner is technology and society domain leader at the World Wide Web Consortium and principal research scientist at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in Cambridge, Mass. In this opinion piece he addresses the issues of who governs the Internet and U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan’s recent call for the Internet and the World Wide Web support “the cause of human development.”
In a balanced view of the issues, Weitzner says, “…we must work to be sure that technical standards-setting venues are truly responsive to social as well as technical needs from around the world.”
