The internet as a global resource is governed by ICANN, an International Organisation sui generis. International law is an innovative legal discipline and sufficiently flexible to develop new forms of international law-making and law-shaping processes, including all relevant international actors. Internet Governance and ICANN is a good example of recent practice. The main shortcomings in this process are insufficient resources but also giving not sufficient credibility to this processes. Hopefully, the year 2012 may show some improvements in this direction.
