International audience ; The WSIS + 10 (ten years after the World Summit on The Information Society) environment culminating in a December 2015 meeting at the United Nations in New York provides an opportunity for a longitudinal view of international organizations in internet governance over the last tumultuous decade. This paper reports on findings from an ongoing three-year study of select international organizations (such as the UNESCO, the OECD and the Council of Europe) acting in the internet governance policy spaces.Originally convened by the United Nation's system in 2003 and 2005 and convened again in December 2015 by the same system, the ten years period result of the regulatory-related configurations emerging from the initial WSIS meetings shows major transformations in both the actual policy spaces and the type of collaborations and conflicts. This paper uses document analysis, interview data, and participant observation as methods in tracking and analyzing these trajectories of change (including at the level of an international organization itself). At the same time, it tracks and analyzes emergent collaborations and conflicts among other actors (nation-states, civil society, the private sector, academe and the technical community) interacting in international organization-related contexts. Building on previous in-depth research on individual actors and specific issues at stake, this paper pays particular attention to data gathered from Fall 2015 meetings both of the preparatory processes for the United Nations Meeting and at the tenth IGF (Internet Governance Forum), with a view to assessing 10 years of multistakeholder governance in the Internet field.

Every business can be described in terms of flows – both of materials and of information. Materials flow into the company, between activities within it, and in the form of finished goods and services from the company to its customers. Simultaneously, there are flows of information in the reverse direction that provide valuable data for the system: feedback from the marketplace in the form of customers' orders, customer reaction, and information on needs and wants; flows of information within the company that provide data in the form of inventory schedules, production schedules, etc., and orders from the company to outside suppliers. In one sense the whole company and the market in which it operates can be regarded as a series of linkages and relationships, and the company's operating efficiency can be seen to depend on how well these connections work. If the system can be made to flow smoothly, at minimum cost, then the chances are that the overall company performance, measured by any criteria, will be high. In practice, however, it is very common to find bottlenecks and poor integration between different parts of this system, with consequent unsatisfactory performance.

"Das Internet hat das Angebot der Informationen gewaltig vergrößert. Doch wer heute online geht, setzt sich einer Anarchie der Informationen aus. Bei der Eingabe des Suchworts 'Zukunft' in eine Suchmaschine erhält man 2.212.033 Quellen angefangen vom 'Verein für Erwerbslose' über Apokalypse-Botschaften von Sekten bis zum Aufsatz eines 13-jährigen Mädchens, das aufgeschrieben hat, was sie sich von der Zukunft wünscht. Je geringer die Glaubwürdigkeit von Informationen, desto mehr werden Konsumenten auf Vertrauen setzen. Das Gewicht der Medien, die für uns zwischen Sinn und Unsinn, zwischen wahr und falsch unterscheiden, wird zunehmen." (Autorenreferat)
