Abstract
Stages global elections held in 2000 by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), provide opportunities to test claims of the sceptics of global democracy, and those elections cast doubt on the strong claims of critics. Suggests that analysis shows that democracy in ICANN works well enough to merit an investment of resources to make it better. Concludes ICANN’s global elections starkly manifested the value of democratic governance.
