arch-d subscribers,

On the topics of consolidation and centralization that we’ve discussed here on this list a good bit, colleagues of mine at the Internet Society are collaborating with Chatham House on a special issue of the Journal of Cyber Policy that will focus on the impact of consolidation in the Internet’s fundamental architecture, including structural dependencies across its many layers.

My colleagues and their peers at Chatham House are seeking proposals by April 15 for this special issue that will be published later this year. More information can be found here:

https://www.internetsociety.org/issues/future/2019-consolidation-call-for-papers/

As noted on that page:  "Through this call for papers, we are looking for interdisciplinary research across the fields of computer science, development, engineering, economics, mathematics, law, and political science to help us understand the extent, origins, and impact (both positive and negative) of consolidation. Researchers must produce evidence-based research, with the possibility of financial support for the collection of the relevant data.”

If you have ideas for a research paper that would fit, please do consider contributing. If you know other researchers who might, please do forward this information along. I’ll also note that the call for papers mentions at the end that some funding is available to help with data collection.

I’m not involved with this project so cannot offer more information than this. It just occurred to me that the people contributing to the various discussions we’ve had here on this list might be potential contributors (or would know people who might be).

Dan
