Abstract
Internet has changed global information society in many ways. Among others, combination of internet's technological characteristics and internet ecosystem has altered global information governance. This paper argues that internet governance is rooted in the multistakeholder model in which diversified actors including government, private sector, and civil society are connected closely. Players have increased a lot in the global information governance. In particular, civil society have more involved in the decision making process. In the international politics arena, power shift from intergovernmental organizations to civil international organizations has increased. ICANN and IGF(Internet Governance Forum) have played critical roles in internet governance. Internet governance shows new phenomena of global information governance.
