Sure. I'll give the short-form answer to it.
Effectively, the standards that currently define the interoperability between hardware using the Internet protocol came out of a governance structure that was initially put in place when the Internet globalized in 1995. That included both the creation of an entity, ICANN, that effectively regulated the address space, but it also included subcommittees that dealt with security, and for example, the engineering aspects of cyberspace itself.
Initially, in the first 15 years of the Internet, if you like, from 2000 until the mid-2000s, a lot of that was dominated by engineers, researchers, who may have worked for corporations but really were looking for writing protocols that would make it easier for devices to start working together. In the recent past, cyberspace has started to be seen as a strategic aspect by countries like China, Russia, and others. There's been a greater intervention both by corporations as well as government-sponsored engineering groups to define standards that worked in terms of their own favour.
Certainly, one aspect, as I said, since cyberspace is very much a synthetic domain, is understanding how the introduction of standards may change that domain in ways that are either consistent with our norms and values, or not consistent with our norms and values. That really should be part of the watch list of a cybersecurity institution that should exist at the government level.
