Reading Dr. Niel Ten Oever's Ph.D thesis right now for the University of Amsterdam and it's such a banger:
The entanglement of the Internet with the daily practices of
governments, companies, institutions, and individuals means that
the processes that shape the Internet also shape society. In this
dissertation, I study the norms that shape the Internet’s under-
lying structure through its transnational governance. Norms are
the ‘widely-accepted and internalised [sic] principles or codes of
conduct that indicate what is deemed to be permitted, prohibited,
or required of agents within a specific community’ (Erskine and
Carr 2016, 87). Internet governance is the development, coordina-
tion, and implementation of policies, technologies, protocols, and
standards. Internet governance produces a global and interop-
erable Internet functioning as a general-purpose communication
network in transnational governance bodies. I examine four cases
of norm conflict and evolution in three key Internet governance
institutions: the Internet Engineering Taskforce (IETF); the Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN); and the
Réseaux IP Européens Network (RIPE).
