第一個Block第二門課是Internet Governance,由Mr.dr. B.W. Schermer授課,Prof. Schermer是阿姆斯特丹一間法律諮詢事務所的合夥人,所以他算是0.2-0.4合聘這樣,這堂課我收穫很多,也認為非常實用。

收穫度:★★★★★
負重比:★★☆☆☆

授課大綱點這

首先,這堂課前兩週基本上都在介紹網際網路概論,對於法學院學生來講基本上會有點陌生,但對我來講就其實在複習我大二還大三上過的課程的內容。所以我上面寫的負重比是建立在我有輔修資管上,所以我把準備考試的精神都放在case law而不是技術上面。

占分比是:團體報告40%、期末考試60%

這門課指定閱讀有一些技術文件,不用全部搞懂。幾個大觀念懂就好,因為只會以選擇題的方式出題。

對我來講這門課收益很多,讓我以全新不同的面貌學習到網路,更別提考試出題靈活、團體報告實用(撰寫政策文件)、實際上在會議上勾心鬥角。


期末考的出法如下

選擇題:

第1種:

敘述I : OOOO
敘述II : XXXX

A. 兩者均為真 B. I為真II為否 C. II為真I為否 D. 均為否。

第2種:真正意義上的選擇題

請問瀏覽網際網路時,通常是使用在TCP/IP的哪一個層面

A. 應用層 B. 傳輸層 C.物理層 D. 網路層

其餘會有一些申論,比如說「為何網際網路無法治理」、「ICANN為何那麼重要以至於每次討論網際網路治理時都會被提到」。

一定會有一題實例題,今年的實例題還蠻好笑的,但其實就是要引用上課提到的指令、規則、判決去回答。這門課允許攜帶法條,不用全印,印你覺得重要的就好。


期末報告是模擬IGF論壇,基本上會被分配到各個利益集團,有:美國、歐盟、開發中國家集團、極權國家集團、商業公司集團、技術組織集團、自由公民集團等七個,每個集團有公開的目標與隱藏的目標(Public agenda and Hidden agenda),你要跟你的組員在政策文件上達到這些目標,也可以事先私底下去試探各個組別。然後最後在辯論跟達成共識的時候你會發現,根本沒辦法達成共識,因為這個七組的隱藏目標是全部互相衝突的。

但是這個模擬論壇真的很好玩。


接下來是最愛的指定閱讀清單,請注意,有些指定閱讀包含課前影片,而為非公開,所以我不會貼在這邊。基本上就是課堂上的導論,讓你對那個技術了解更多一點。

Week1

Introduction

Key Internet functions and resources

In this seminar we will continue discuss the Internet ecosystem. In particular we will discuss several critical Internet functions and systems (e.g. IP-allocation and the DNS system) and the players in the global Internet ecosystem that perform key roles in administering these and other functions (e.g. IANA / ICANN). We will also discuss what the relation between these organisations and national states is.
