Milton Mueller will present (via webcast) the paper "Scarcity in IP addresses: IPv4 Address Transfer Markets and the Regional Internet Address Registries" at an upcoming ITU Workshop on IPv6. The presentation is scheduled for Thursday, September 4, 2008 at 14:15 UTC (10:15 EST) during Session 3: "Economic dimension of IPv6 adoption. What is at stake?" A link to the webcast will be posted here on the day of the workshop. The draft agenda is available here.

The workshop, to be held 4 — 5 September in Geneva, Switzerland, will provide a platform for dialogue where key players in the field, including all ITU sectors, as well as other interested entities will be able to discuss and address international public policy issues on the migration to IPv6, as well as the economic aspects related to IP address allocation. It is designed to stimulate discussion and interaction with the audience, rather than a string of presentations and speeches provided by panelists and speakers.

Several papers on Internet governance will be presented during the 36th Research Conference on Communication, Information and Internet Policy (TPRC), which will be held September 26 - September 28, 2008 at The National Center for Technology & Law, George Mason University School of Law, Arlington, VA. IGP's Milton Mueller will be moderating the "The Future of Internet Addressing" session (Saturday 2:00 PM EST) and Brenden Kuerbis will be presenting a paper, "Regional Address Registries: The New Center of Global Internet Governance" (Sunday 11:10 AM). In addition, there will be panels Friday on Jon Zittrain's recent book and the "Future of the Internet Economy: Developing a Medium Term Policy Research Agenda," as well as work presented on Saturday looking at the "Internet and Fundamental Human Rights" as well as "The Political Economy of Internet Governance."
