Mary’s talk on “Internet Governance by International Organizations” will survey Internet policymaking at the international level. She will aim to show that, while individual initiatives by separate intergovernmental organizations are considerable feats in and of themselves, what is more remarkable is the sum total of these initiatives, as they point to an emerging international governance framework for the Internet.About the Speaker
Mary Rundle’s background has allowed her to experience global integration from different perspectives. Living in diverse countries has shown her how legal systems can have dramatically different effects on the lives of individuals, while studies and work have taught her how business and intergovernmental relations shape these systems. Her examination of Internet governance by international organizations draws on this experience.
Mary is presently a non-resident fellow with Stanford’s Center for Internet and Society. She has previously held joint fellowship appointments at the Harvard Information Infrastructure Project, the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, and the Center for Business-Government Relations at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government. Other experience includes several years as a Legal Affairs Officer for the World Trade Organization (WTO), where she analyzed members’ domestic legislation and regional agreements vis-à-vis WTO rules and helped committees reach agreement on contentious issues.
Mary earned a BA in Asian Studies from the University of Virginia, a JD from the Georgetown University Law Center, and an MS from the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service. She is a member of the New York bar and has lived in North America, Asia and Europe.
