James Loud
Research Fellow in Internet Governance
I compare how civil society organisations find influence across standards bodies, from IETF working groups to OASIS technical committees. My work follows the practical steps by which arguments, drafts and alliances travel between venues, helping readers see where participation is meaningful, where it is constrained, and how wider governance dynamics shape outcomes.
