Considering the findings of the preceding five chapters, this chapter characterizes the approach found to have been taken to Knowledge Management (KM) overall within the UN First Committee cyber negotiations. In doing so, it is revealed that the identified KM practices have been implicit, dispersed, unsystematic as well as messy in nature. Further, these practices were revealed to have developed organically through the set-up, format and design of the GGEs and OEWGs, evolving over time. This evolution is discussed, highlighting the increased tendency towards more substantial and systematic (though still implicit) KM, as the negotiations have matured through the OEWG format. In presenting this broader characterization and evolution of the KM approach taken in the case study, the advantages and disadvantages associated with taking a formalized versus informal approach to KM are considered in relation to the future development of the negotiations as they are institutionalized through the new global permanent mechanism.

摘要

Considering the findings of the preceding five chapters, this chapter characterizes the approach found to have been taken to Knowledge Management (KM) overall within the UN First Committee cyber negotiations. In doing so, it is revealed that the identified KM practices have been implicit, dispersed, unsystematic as well as messy in nature. Further, these practices were revealed to have developed organically through the set-up, format and design of the GGEs and OEWGs, evolving over time. This evolution is discussed, highlighting the increased tendency towards more substantial and systematic (though still implicit) KM, as the negotiations have matured through the OEWG format. In presenting this broader characterization and evolution of the KM approach taken in the case study, the advantages and disadvantages associated with taking a formalized versus informal approach to KM are considered in relation to the future development of the negotiations as they are institutionalized through the new global permanent mechanism.
