Dear Jane:
McTim has said it well -- Internet Governance (IG) is about
all the things you mentioned and more. While looking at IG, we
need focus and discuss on all issues, actors and divides. From
Infrastructure and Standardization, to Legal issues, Economic
issues, Development issues, Socio-Cultural issues and more.
Certainly, the Internet touches just about every aspect of
human life. And when we have good Internet Governance, we will
all (globally) share the Internet with knowledge and
understanding and, indeed, everyone shall easily enjoy its
fruits and benefits.
Go to [1]http://www.eaigf.or.ke/registration.html, to register
for East AFrica IGF.
Have a good and a blessed week ahead.
Kind regards

D) All of the above (and more).
IG used to have a more narrow definition, that of coordination
of
resources and standards essential to the operation of the net.
WSIS
processes however resulted in a much broader definition, to
wit:
"Internet governance is the development and application by
governments, the private sector, and civil society, in their
respective roles, of shared principles, norms, rules,
decision-making
procedures, and programmes that shape the evolution and use of
the
Internet. "
So basically anything and everything can be called IG.
