              Friends:<br>
              <br>
              The Berkman Center for Internet and Society is excited to
              announce a student writing competition to identify
              innovative multistakeholder governance groups and help us
              understand the conditions under which they are most
              effective. We are seeking original papers (8 to 12 pages,
              single spaced) that help us better understand innovative,
              globally diverse governance groups.  The top submissions
              with receive cash stipends.<br>
              <br>
              We are hoping that you will share this announcement with
              any students or post-doctoral scholars that might be
              interested in submitting a short case study.  Submissions
              will be due September 15, 2015, and the full details about
              the competition and submission are available here: <a href="https://cyber.law.harvard.edu/node/98897" target="_blank">https://cyber.law.harvard.edu/node/98897</a>.
              <br>
              <br>
              The Berkman Center, in collaboration with the <a href="http://networkofcenters.net" target="_blank">Global Network of
                Interdisciplinary Internet & Society Research
                Centers</a> (NoC), recently examined <a href="http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2549270" target="_blank">twelve

                diverse examples</a> of multistakeholder governance
              groups.  Through this writing competition, we are seeking
              submissions that will add to this list and help us help us
              explore other globally diverse and unique real-world
              examples.  A sample case study (based on the NoC case
              study about Switzerland’s fiber optic cable deployment) is
              available for reference <a href="https://cyber.law.harvard.edu/sites/cyber.law.harvard.edu/files/Swiss%20ComCom_abridged.pdf" target="_blank">here</a>. 

              From the submitted case studies, we will select the top
              three.  First place will receive a cash stipend of $ 4000;
              second place will receive $3000; and third place will
              receive $2000.  Additional awards for honorable mentions
              may be given at the discretion of the Berkman Center. 
              These cash stipends are made possible by a generous <a href="http://research.google.com/university/relations/research_awards.html" target="_blank">Google

                Research Grant</a> awarded to the Berkman Center. In
              addition, the top case studies will be published as part
              of a forthcoming Berkman Center report on multistakeholder
              governance groups.<br>
              <br>
              We believe this is a great opportunity for students to
              contribute to our understanding of how these governance
              groups operate and what makes them successful.  We hope
              you’ll help us publicize this opportunity and let students
              know about this competition.<br>
              <br>
