DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Laura DeNardis will speak on the\ntopic of her new bo
 ok Protocol Politics: The Globalization of\nInternet Governance (MIT Press
 : 2009). The Internet has\nreached a critical point. The world is running 
 out of Internet\naddresses. There is a finite supply of approximately 4.3 
 billion\nInternet Protocol (IP) addresses—the unique binary numbers requir
 ed\nfor every exchange of information over the Internet—within the\nIntern
 et's prevailing technical architecture (IPv4). In the 1990s\nthe Internet 
 standards community identified the potential depletion\nof these addresses
  as a crucial design concern and selected a new\nprotocol (IPv6) that woul
 d expand the number of Internet addresses\nexponentially—to 340 undecillio
 n addresses. Despite a decade of\npredictions about imminent global conver
 sion\, IPv6 adoption has\nbarely begun. IPv6 is not backward compatible wi
 th IPv4\, and the\nultimate success of IPv6 depends on a critical mass of 
 IPv6\ndeployment\, even among users who don't need it\, or on technical\nw
 orkarounds that could in turn create a new set of concerns.\nProtocol Poli
 tics examines what's at stake politically\,\neconomically\, and technicall
 y in the selection and adoption of a\nnew Internet protocol. Laura DeNardi
 s's key insight is that\nprotocols are political. IPv6 serves as a case st
 udy for how\nprotocols more generally are intertwined with socioeconomic a
 nd\npolitical order. IPv6 intersects with provocative topics including\nIn
 ternet civil liberties\, U.S. military objectives\, globalization\,\ninsti
 tutional power struggles\, and the promise of global democratic\nfreedoms.
  DeNardis offers recommendations for Internet standards\ngovernance\, base
 d not only on technical concerns but on principles\nof openness and transp
 arency\, and examines the global implications\nof looming Internet address
  scarcity versus the slow deployment of\nthe new protocol designed to solv
 e this problem.\nBiography: Laura DeNardis is a Lecturer in Law\,\nResearc
 h Scholar in Law\, and the Executive Director of the\nInformation Society 
 Project at Yale Law School. DeNardis is an\nInternet governance scholar an
 d the author of Protocol\nPolitics: The Globalization of Internet Governan
 ce (MIT Press:\n2009)\, Information Technology in Theory (Thompson: 2007\n
 with Pelin Aksoy)\, and numerous book chapters and articles.\nDeNardis rec
 eived a Ph.D. in Science and Technology Studies (STS)\nfrom Virginia Tech\
 , a Master of Engineering degree from Cornell\nUniversity\, and a Bachelor
  of Arts degree in Engineering Science\nfrom Dartmouth College.\n
