Watch Antony Declercq, a second year MPA student discuss What if the internet “breaks”? at the independently organised TEDx event with Goodenough College on the 2016 theme of                           “Breaking Boundaries”.

Antony is also a digital governance researcher who focuses on making the notion of “global digital citizenship” real. As a researcher of “open government” and civic engagement through technology, Antony worked at the Governance Lab at New York University to bring open government practices to ICANN (the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), the organization that manages the Domain Name System (DNS). He then worked to increase collaboration in the larger world of Internet governance through the NETmundial Solutions Map, a “map” of who-does-what-and-where for Internet governance and its many associated issues. His most recent work focused on jurisdictional issues online that involve extraterritorial legal disputes across national borders.
