Title: Multistakeholder Models of Collaboration - Lessons from the Real World and the Internet World

There is a wide body of applied knowledge on the MSM which merits wider dissemination and understanding. A panel of eminent specialists will share some of this knowledge and foster a discussion on how the MSM can be improved and the existing challenges both from a global and an ICANN perspective. Panelists include Mr. Jean-Jacques Subrenat, Ms. Rinalia Abul Rahim and Mr. Evan Leibovitch from the At Large Advisory Committee-ICANN, Dr. Sam Lanfranco from the University of York, Ontario, Canada and Mr. Alain Berranger, Chair, NPOC-Executive Committee.
