On June 2006, an expert meeting was held in Rathen Germany which was prepared and coordinated by the small ad hoc working group that was created and supported by International Association of Media and Communication Research ([[IAMCR]]), International Communication Association ([[ICA]]) and UNESCO. The result of the meeting was the establishment of the Global Internet Governance Academic Network ([[GIGANET]]]) and Euro-SSIG.
