5Vox Internet owes a particular debt to its faithful supports: Jean-Michel Cornu, Richard Delmas, and Louis Pouzin brought their experience and their vision of Internet Governance issues; Françoise Thibault, from the French Ministry of Research, was the first sponsor of the programme. The French National Agency for Research’s funding allowed its development and achievement Hervé Lièvre and the CERIMES team helped to make Vox Internet notorious online.

6The logistics of this 7-years cooperative effort was kindly managed by Catherine Lucas (CSI – Ecole des Mines, Paris), Aurélie Lejeune (Ecole Normale Supérieure, Lyon), Véronique Duveau and Marianne Wavrant (Maison des Sciences de l’Homme, Paris).

7Lastly, this book is published due to the precious editorial help of Silvia Dekorsy and Sandra Rodrigues.
