From the day the internet was introduced until now, there have been efforts from governments all around the world to govern the internet. A working group established after a United Nations initiated World Summit on the Information Society ('WSIS') proposed the following definition of internet governance as part of its June 2005 report: Internet governance is the development and application by Governments, the private sector and civil society, in their respective roles, of shared principles, norms, rules, decision-making procedures, and programmes that shape the evolution and use of the Internet. The definition above is however unsettled because the definition of internet governance has been contested by differing groups across the political and ideological lines.
