IGF 2015

Children and young people are increasingly reliant on the Internet for their everyday lives. They communicate, share and collaborate online. They use it to learn and play. They recognise its importance for their adult working lives. Considering their increasing access, agency and autonomy in using content and services, their protection as a vulnerable group needs to be coupled with their education as emerging citizens to ensure they develop a healthy and positive relationship regarding the Internet. Their general well-being, participation in society, and prospects of employment greatly depend on Media and Information Literacy (MIL) as the new set of basic skills for the 21st century, where computational thinking interfaces with the rich and diverse ‘cultures of information’ (news, data, documents, codes, etc.).

This pre-event examines education and its digital transition, mindful of the post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. It opens a series of perspectives and alerts on certain trends to ensure that the future of education is part of the global debate on Internet Governance. It posits that Internet Governance (IG) offers a new form of legitimacy for children and young people to go beyond their current “protected” status. Active participation in Internet Governance can empower them to become actors in policy deliberations. This can be achieved by developing a ‘frontier’ field integrating the existing Internet studies with Media and Information Literacy (MIL), redefined to comprise Internet Governance principles, protocols and processes. This new field can be integrated in the school curriculum as a key educational discipline. Such a digital transition from education 2.0 (where ICTs are support tools) to education 3.0 (where MIL and IG are the new basics) can provide children with competences for cooperation, creativity and social innovation. It can also nurture their human rights and understanding of shared values, which, in turn, will help to build more inclusive societies.

This pre-event also considers the risks of inaction in the transition to education 3.0. It draws attention to a crucial element for effective change: the need to raise awareness and to support teachers, students and public authorities alike to embrace the notion of education 3.0, to consider the tools and resources needed (e-learning, data analytics, MOOCS, etc.), and to engage in the phased adjustments needed at all levels of its governance. Incremental, scalable, step-by-step change is key to success in the education sector that has already experienced many ‘computer-in-the-school’ plans with mixed results. Education 3.0, based on “co-design” as collaborative problem-solving, buttressed on human rights and shared values, provides a comprehensive vision that can engage all actors at their level of interaction.

Discussions will be based on the paper on “Children and young people’s sustainable digital development: Education 3.0 and Internet Governance as a new global alliance for dynamic learning, greater employability and general well-being”, prepared by Divina Frau-Meigs and Lee Hibbard , for the Global Commission on Internet Governance.  

This open meeting of the NETmundial Initiative (“Initiative”) inaugural Coordination Council (“Council”) aims to further the discussion about the activities of the Initiative, whose mission is to provide a platform that helps catalyze practical cooperation between all stakeholders in order to address Internet issues and advance the implementation of the NETmundial Principles and Roadmap.

The session will bring together members of the Council to discuss challenges, opportunities, and potential areas of collaboration with the broader IGF community. These efforts are aimed at strengthening the multistakeholder model by providing stakeholders with practical tools that increase information and knowledge-sharing.

Agenda: http://ow.ly/UkYgh    

The Global Internet Governance Academic Network (GigaNet) is presenting its 10th Annual Symposium on 09 November 2015 in the city of João Pessoa, Brazil. The symposium will take place in the Convention Center Poeta Ronaldo Cunha Lima and will once more bring together a large number of Internet governance researchers from several parts of the world discussing some of the most current topics of the field like privacy, human rights, critical infrastructure, multistakeholder systems, regional approaches and more.

GigaNet is inviting all interested individuals to participate in this event which will initiate its first panel at 9h in the morning followed by a truely diversified set of subsequent sessions. Although GigaNet was established as an academic organization it is important to emphasize that people from all sectors of society and independently of their fields of activities are welcome to contribute to the discussions.

The final session in the late afternoon is followed by an easygoing additional event to celebrate the 10th birthday of GigaNet's Annual Symposium. We hope to see you there!

9:00 WELCOME

• Marianne Franklin, Chair of Steering Committee
• Daniel Oppermann, Chair of Program Committee

9:15-10:45 - MULTISTAKEHOLDER GOVERNANCE APPROACH

The multistakeholder governance approach is one of if not the most important theoretical approach to Internet governance. For many years it has been handled as the basis for setting up inclusive structures on a local, regional and global scale. Over the past years a growing number of researchers has started to analyze and also to question this approach. Some of these researchers will present their ideas and conclusions during this session which will provide us with the necessary theoretical framework for the subsequent debates of the day. The paper presented are:

• Madeline Carr. Power Plays in Multi-stakeholder Internet Governance. 
• Roxana Radu and Nicolo Zingales. In search of the holy grail: meaningful multistakeholder governance in internet policy-making. 
• Stefania Milan and Arne Hintz. In multistakeholderism we trust?
• Moderator: Aline Contti Castro
• Discussant: Mishi Choudhary

10:45-11:00 BREAK

11:00-12:30 WSIS+10 & REGIONAL FOCUS

The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) is considered to be a starting point for many Internet governance debates and also for the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) itself. The results of the WSIS meetings in 2003 and 2005 comprise among other documents the first comprehensive definition of Internet governance developed by the then active Working Group on Internet Governance (WGIG). The WSIS process was of great importance for the global dissemination of Internet governance debates. What happened to the WSIS process over the past 10 years? Which path did the actors involved back then took over the last years and how does this affect today's Internet policy development processes on a global and a regional level? These and other related questions we want to discuss at a round table based on the following papers:

• Julia Pohle. Internet governance within WSIS+10: Deliberate exclusion or strategic neglect? 
• Rikke Frank Jorgensen and Meryem Marzouki. Internet Governance and the Reshaping of Global Human Rights Legacy at WSIS+10. 
• Carolina Aguerre and Hernan Galperin. Internet Policy Formation in Latin America: Understanding the Links between National, Regional, and Global Dynamics.
• Courtney Radsch. The changing landscape of Internet governance in the Arab region.
• Moderator: Marianne Franklin

12:30-14:00 LUNCH BREAK

14:00-15:30 TRUST & ETHICS

While the fast and dynamic character of global Internet development does often not allow us to identify and follow all changes and processes happening in the plurality of locations in this world there are always certain key moments which call global attention and might as a consequence change perceptions and influence decision-making processes of several global, regional and local actors. One of these key moments in the history of the Internet are the so called Snowden revelations which since 2013 function as a game-changer for many actors involved in and also beyond the Internet governance environment. Today's discussions surrounding these developments lead us to a series of much broader questions related also to a general set of fundamental values like freedom, responsibility and sustainability. Together with Jeanette Hofmann and Rolf H. Weber we want to discuss in this session the role of values and the importance of trust and distrust in the global Internet governance environment. The papers presented are:

• Rolf H. Weber. Ethics as New Topic in the Internet Governance Ecosystem. 
• Jeanette Hofmann. Constellations of trust and distrust in Internet governance.
• Samantha Bradshaw: Trust and Internet governance.
• Moderator: Daniel Oppermann
• Discussant: Xianhong Hu

15:30-15:45 BREAK

15:45-17:15 INFRASTRUCTURE & CRITICAL INTERNET RESOURCES

Naturally, Internet governance is also to an extensive degree focused on questions of technical infrastructure and critical Internet resources. One crucial question is the ambivalent relation between actors representing traditional approaches like national souvereignty and the nonambiguous transboundery character of computer networks like the Internet. The conflicts that arise in this context embrace different aspects like top level domains (TLDs) or financial transactions and are often related to questions of technical, financial or even national security. These and other questions including critical infrastructure and the actors involved in its development and maintenance we want to elaborate together with the authors of the following papers:

• Brenden Kuerbis, Milton Mueller and Rio Maulana. Beyond technical solutions: Understanding the role of governance structures in Internet routing security. 
• Milton Mueller and Farzaneh Badiei. Sovereignty and Property Rights: Conceptualizing the Relationship between ICANN, ccTLDs and National Governments. 
• Diego Vicentin. Developing standards, shaping the network: ethnographic notes on the IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee.
• Moderator: Olga Cavalli

17:15-18:00 FINAL SESSION

- Summing up
- Updates and Announcements
- Stocktaking and Looking Forward

• Moderator: Marianne Franklin 
• Rapporteur: Julia Pohle

The symposium will be followed up by GigaNet Anniversary Reception in the Green Area (área verde) of the Hotel Tropical Tambaú starting at 19h30.

In light of the U.S. government’s anticipated IANA functions’ stewardship transition, ICANN has seen the broadest global participation in its history: the Internet community is not only developing a technical plan for the future of the IANA functions, but is also taking this opportunity to determine accountability enhancements that will empower the Internet community and strengthen multistakeholder policymaking. This panel discussion will inform attendees of the latest developments in these processes and discuss influences on global governance discourse. 

Panelists:

• Steve Crocker, ICANN Chairman of the Board (Opening Remarks)
• Theresa Swinehart, ICANN Senior Advisor to the President (Moderator)
• Thomas Schneider, Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) Chair
• Leon Sanchez, CCWG-Accountability co-Chair
• Lise Fuhr, CWG co-Chair
• Manal Ismail, ICG member 
• Gonzalo Navarro, former ICANN Board Director 

UPDATE: The UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Expression, David Kaye, will deliver opening remarks.

It is our pleasure to invite all IGF participants to join an advocacy and research brainstorming meeting on the issue of corporate accountability for digital rights. Jointly hosted by Ranking Digital Rights and Internews on the eve of the Internet Governance Forum, this meeting will gather a diverse group of activists and researchers working at the intersection of Internet governance, business and human rights. The goal is to brainstorm concrete ideas for how civil society advocates and academic researchers can use the Corporate Accountability Indexdata and indicators for their own work at the national, regional, and international levels.  

The event begins with a presentation of the results of the inaugural Ranking Digital Rights Corporate Accountability Index, which evaluates 16 telecommunication and Internet companies headquartered around the world on 31 indicators examining policies and disclosures affecting users’ freedom of expression and privacy. The next two segments of the meeting will focus on brainstorming concrete ideas for advocacy and research projects using the Index’s findings. We invite you to peruse the results on the interactive website, download the report (and even the raw data) and view the webcast of our launch event in advance of the IGF.

Agenda:

2-3pm – Presentation of the Ranking Digital Rights Corporate Accountability Index and discussion of findings of greatest interest to global civil society and international researchers

Opening Remarks: David Kaye, UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Expression

Rebecca MacKinnon, presenter

Discussants:

An expected major recommendation of the Best Practice Forum (BPF) on the regulation and mitigation of unsolicited communications is to provide technical training in developing nations at basic security level for ISPs, telcos and hosting organisations’ network and abuse administrators in order to prevent and mitigate the risks associated with unsolicited communications sent over the internet. This session brings together relevant stakeholders. On the one hand the BPF’s expected recommendations are presented, on the other potential solutions to realise training are discussed.

In the BPF we have established that in Africa (and other developing regions) there is a clearly felt need for action against all sorts of unsolicited communications and for the implementation of standards and best practices. Operators in developed nations dread the rising numbers targeting their networks. Years of experience and successful measures are available. Specific training and trainers are offered. The Global Forum on Cyber Expertise (GFCE) is an organisation that may facilitate a process such as that presented here and is looking for initiatives to bring under its organisation. The challenge is in finding funding and coordination, general support and identifying the right people to train.

The BPF “unsolicited communications” organises this Day Zero matchmaking event to bring together directly involved stakeholders and discuss the possibility of training, organisation, coordination and funding. This session invites representatives from e.g. governments, IGO’s, industry and expert groups to participate. The session aims for a decision to continue this topic. It is a direct result of the BPF process and a direct input for the BPF session on Tuesday. Organising this training is seen as a potential quick win where the outcome of the 2015 BPF process is concerned as well as a win-win factor for developing and developed nations alike.

Best Practice Forum: Developing meaningful multistakeholder participation mechanisms

Tuesday, November 10 • 09:00 - 10:30 - Workshop Room 6

The BPF-Multi has been working for two years to create a document that explores some of the issues involved in enabling multistakeholder participation.  At IGF 2014 the focus was on definitions and exploration of some of the theory behind multistakeholder models.  This year, the group documented a number of existing practices and attempted to extract some practices that can be considered when working within a multistakeholder model.

The group developed a document that has been undergoing public edit for the last half year that is being considered by the group as an output document that can be used as an input by other groups involved in developing, or evolving, their own multstakeholder processes. The meeting will consider the document and consider the next steps for the document.

0. Review and revise Agenda

1. Brief update on the status of the working document

2. Discussion of some notable issues encountered during the course of the past year:

• Nature of consensus in multistakeholder organization and decision making

• The bad actor problem

• The relationship of multistakeholder models to democracy

• Best practices and examples of multistakeholder mechanisms submitted to the process

• Other issues (interactive discussion)

3. Disposition of the document: Should it be forwarded to the Chair of IGF2015 for inclusion as output of the meeting?

4. Future of the multistakeholder mechanism work

5. Any other issues.

The Dynamic Coalition on Accessibility and Disability was established in IGF 2007 to facilitate interaction and ensure that ICT accessibility is included in the key debates around Internet Governance in order to build a future where all sectors of the global community have equal access to the Information Society. DCAD has organized workshops and activities at every annual IGF event since 2007.

DCAD developed a DCAD Accessibility Guidelines to provide guidelines to the IGF Secretariat on how to improve accessibility for persons with disabilities (include age related disabilities) of IGF meetings and to include accessibility for persons with disabilities into internet governance discussion.

To contribute to ‘intersessional work of IGF’, DCAD submitted the DCAD Accessibility Guidelines - Version 2 (2014) for public review and received comments (mostly editorial).

The DCAD meeting in IGF 2015 will be an opportunity for DCAD members to share information on their activities, discuss the DCAD action plan for the future and revise the DCAD Accessibility Guidelines taking into consideration of public comments received.

IGF Day 1 - 10 November 2015 - 9:30-12:30

Brief Description/Objective

According to agreed processes at the United Nations General Assembly, the World Summit on the Information Society implementation will experience a ten year review.  Alongside the broader assessment of progress toward achieving an Information Society for all, since the conclusion of the two phase World Summit on the Information Society [WSIS], in Tunis, 2015, other questions such as the achievements of the IGF, its extension, and how enhanced cooperation, inclusion of women and youth, affordability of access to ICTs and the Internet, multilingual access and content, incorporation of multi stakeholder engagement and participation from developing countries, emerging economies, and least developed countries in Internet governance and WSIS processes contribute to the review of the overall WSIS. As is usual in a ten year review of a World Summit, the WSIS+10 process also looks forward to the post 2015 WSIS +SDGs environment. While the considerations of the role of the IGF, and its extension and evolution are incorporated into the WSIS+10 Review, the overall review is much broader, and inclusive of issues and questions that affect the much broader Internet governance ecosystem.   

Convening in Brazil, the IGF 2015 brings together the most diverse, inclusive and multi stakeholder community, on an equal footing, to address critical Internet governance policy issues and approaches  The WSIS+10 session at the IGF 2015 will take advantage of this unique and geo diverse multi stakeholder convening to examine the “Zero draft” prepared by UNGA resources, and under debate and consideration by UNGA, and provide an interactive consultation, in a real time setting, on the key themes and issues identified in the Zero Draft.  As an output from the interactive “town hall” consultation, a summarized report, and a real time transcript will be provided, along with an invitation to the participants in the interactive session to include summary messages in the further considerations for the second draft of the Draft negotiating documents for the High Level meeting of the General Assembly on WSIS +10 Review [scheduled for December 15-16, 2015.]

Invitations are extended to the Co Facilitators and UNGA PGA office to attend the IGF 2015, and interact with the diverse multi stakeholder community.

Agenda

The session will consist of three parts:

• Part 1: Setting the scene. This part of the session would provide an overview of what WSIS+10 is, its scope and implications for the broader post 2015 WSIS environment and activities, including IGF extension and IGF evolution. In this part of the session, UNGA Co-facilitators and PGA Office would be invited to make statements regarding the preparatory process.

• Part 2: Developing messages from the IGF community. In this part of the session, IGF stakeholders would be invited to share their views on the WSIS+10 with the aim to develop messages from the IGF community as input into the NY process. The basis for the interaction would be the WSIS+10 Review Zero Draft.

The session will model its comment process after the NETmundial organization of microphones - inputs would rotate across 5 microphones, with 4 dedicated to each IGF stakeholder community, and one microphone reserved for remote participants.

• Part 3: Summary of key messages to be conveyed into the the formal preparatory process.

Policy Questions

The policy questions in this session will be drawn from the WSIS+10 High Level Event Zero Draft. The specific questions would be developed and communicated to the IGF community in advance and posted on the IGF website.

A selected group of additional background documents is being gathered by the organisers and the Secretariat.

Host Country Chair: Mr. Andre Figueiredo, Minister of Communications of Brazil

Moderators

The session would be supported by designated moderators. Part 2 of the session will be modeled after the NETmundial consultation process. The moderators would be in charge of time management, and ensuring balanced rotation across stakeholder groups and remote participants.

Assigned rapporteurs will work in conjunction with a Secretariat-provided resource to synthesise the session messages.

Panelists

The format and content of this session do not lend itself to a traditional panel approach.

The session will model its comment process after the NETmundial organization of microphones to include broad and inclusive comments, using an organized document to guide time allocation of issues, and rotating across stakeholder groups to maximize diversity of opportunities to listen to views from stakeholders.

Participation by the UN WSIS Co-Facilitators has been confirmed. The session agenda takes into account their attendance.

Remote moderator/Plan for online interaction:

Remote participation will be accommodated through providing a dedicated remote moderator, who will take questions by tweet and by email.

The co-moderators of the session will be invited to acknowledge the Remote Comments in rotation with comments from within the room, to the greatest extent possible. The rapporteurs and Secretariat support will also follow the remote contributions.

‘Feeder’ workshops (if applicable) and/or connections with other sessions:

As most of the sessions and plenaries at the IGF 2015 are of impact to the WSIS+10 Review, this session - as the first main session on Day 1, will offer valuable input to the rest of the IGF program.

Desired results/output

ITU will present its recently launched Emerge Partnership, which aims to provide a focus group to better hear the needs of the SME sector. The Emerge Partnership brings together a network of stakeholders that are working to support local, regional and international innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystems, to increase dialogue with government policy-makers and regulators who provide a vital enabling environment for private enterprises.

The Partnership includes representatives from the United Nations and Intergovernmental Organizations, ICT industry, private sector companies, academia/research institutions, incubator/hub managers, development/innovation practitioners, aid agencies/donors, private/public sector procurement specialists, and investors.

Emerge Partnership: www.emergepartnership.org

Internet exchange points (IXPs) are a well-established concept. There is a substantial body of knowledge within the IXP operator and member community regarding best practices and the characteristics of local environments that are conducive to the formation and success of IXPs. However, such knowledge is not evenly distributed, and some stakeholders have expressed a need for greater awareness. Therefore, the aim of this BPF is to make existing community knowledge more widely available.

The Best Practices Forum in IXPs will explain why IXPs matter and focus on ways to create enabling environments that allow IXPs to develop and flourish.

The draft best practice outcome document that will be presented and discussed during the session is open for public comments on the IGF Review platform.

Annual Meeting of the Dynamic Coalition on Network Neutrality 

10 November, 11:00-12:30, Room 6 

Over the past two years, the network neutrality debate has become a leading priority for both national and international policy makers. While some countries have explicitly banned discriminatory traffic management practices, such as blocking, throttling and paid prioritisation, other countries are currently formulating network neutrality laws and regulations or considering whether and how to properly regulate Internet traffic management.

The panellists will explore issues such as the relevance of net neutrality for consumers, the compatibility of zero rating offerings with the network neutrality principle and the elaboration of sustainable approaches to foster non-discriminatory Internet traffic management. Importantly, panellist interventions will be based on their contribution to the annaual report of the DCNN, included in Part III of the Net Neutrality Compendium, a book encompassing the three-year-long work of the Dynamic Coalition on Network Neutrality that will be presented and distributed during the event.

Widespread adoption of IPv6 is crucial to the Internet’s sustainable growth; the number of available IPv4 addresses is nearly exhausted, and the Internet needs more address space to grow.

The Best Practice Forum (BPF) on Creating an Enabling Environment for IPv6 Adoption through survey responses, discussion on an open mailing list, and over several calls, identified and discussed best practices for promoting IPv6 in the private and public sectors.  Discussion also canvassed the work of IPv6 Task Forces, research and education networks, capacity-building and certification in IPv6, and more.

The 90-minute session will canvas three case studies, and address public comments provided via the IGF’s open, public platform, on our draft outcome document. We will also discuss key messages that can be taken from this session to the Main Session on IGF Intersessional Work.

IGF Day 2 - 10 November 2015 - 9:00-12:30

Please check the paper « the internet and Sustainable Development » by Constance Bommelaer, ISOC and the article « Development Digital Divide » by Carl Bildt, Sweden former foreign minister. Please also check « Transforming our World : the 2030 agenda for sustainable development »  from the UN, we have also “Ericsson & Earth Institute: Information Technology key to achieving new UN Sustainable Development Goals” as a good practice. We have from a visionary perspective “Global Trends to 2030: Can the EU meet the challenges ahead?” by European Strategy and Policy Analysis System & also “the Global Risks 2015” from the WEF.

The new post-2015 UN Development Agenda builds on the millennium development goals, eight anti- poverty targets that the world committed to achieving by 2015. While tremendous progress has been exhibited via MDGs, including the value of bringing together a diverse agenda by establishing goals and targets, there is further scope for improvement.  The UN Member States are in the process of finalizing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS) as a part of the new Agenda to achieve the unfinished objectives, and to do so by 2030.

The session will include discussions on the following :

·   The Vision toward 2030 :

o   Sustainable Development long term opportunities and challenges

·   Internet Economy & Internet Role in Delivering the SDGs (Key opportunities & key Success Factors)

o   Human Capital

a.     Internet Entrepreneurship-

b.     Equality-

c.      ICT Capacity building-

o   Applications

d.     Right to Health, Education, timely Justice, environment protection, society engagement-

e. Access to Information-

f.   Availability of Local Content Online-

g.     Intellectual Property Right-

o   Access and Infrastructure

Internet Availability and Affordability:

o   Policy and Regulatory Support and Business eco-system

To enable Access, Applications and Content development and usage, Entrepreneurship and Capacity building.

·   Aligning the next phase of IGF with the SDGs /Post 2015 UN Develpment Agenda:

o   Optimizing Eco System and Multistakeholder approach

Agenda:

The discussions at the IGF session should reflect the importance of Internet Economy enabling policies and eco-system for the fulfillment of different SDGs.

This would be a U Shape round table.

The main session would be split into 3 main topics as per the above :

-    Setting the scene (10 mins from moderator and Chairperson)

-       Global Vision (30 mins followed by 15 minutes audience participation)

-       Internet Role and Economy challenges and successes delivering SDGs. (60 mins followed by 15 minutes audience participation)

-    How the IGF and other IG organizations/efforts might better support the SDGs; Recommendations (40 mins followed by 15 minutes audience participation, followed by 5 minutes Organizers’ summary)

Policy Questions (Suggestions:

·   How do we foresee the Information society in 2030 & how it may be different that 2015?

·   What are the obstacles for Internet entrepreneurship?

·   What are the barriers for obtaining equality through the Internet?

·   How ICT capacity building is better delivered?

·   What are the best way improve health, education, timely Justice, environment protection, society engagement with the help of the Internet?

·   What are the hurdles to obtaining access to meaningful information from the Internet?

·   What are the barriers to increase the access for the non-connected?

·   Are there best practices for the above challenges?

·   What regulatory and policy issues needs to be addressed to improve the Eco-System?

·   IGF post 2015, Multistakeholderism and supporting the delivery of the SDGs

• Investing in human capital: How to ensure investment in ICT oriented human capital from marginalized communities to young entrepreneurs within a healthy eco-system?

• Availability of local applications and content: In many countries technology is coming from outside and the applications and content provided might not be localized to the local need or available in local language. Problems range from integrating the local languages into the system, and updating the contents posted on websites, to customized applications catering for local needs. The lack of suitable regulation, and investments eco-system can hinder innovation in content creation and application development. What best ways to promote creation of locally relevant content and applications?

• Intellectual Property Rights: how can we raise awareness about the importance of protecting IPR for both international and local applications and content, and how can we balance between IPR policies and increased availability and affordability.

·   Of the 17 SDGs, where can Internet based technologies make maximum contribution to ensure rapid achievement of objectives?

·   Implementing Sustainable Development: are we identifying synergies between the SDGs and WSIS Action Lines and practical measures to support their implementation?

There are

1. Title of the Session

Substantive Session:   A Dialogue – Inter Regional and National IGF Initiatives 2015

2. Length

120 minutes

3. Brief Description/Objective

Since its inception as mandated by the Tunis Agenda, a steady growth and expansion of
the IGF has emerged at the national, sub regional and regional levels.  Each year during the IGF itself, the Coordinators and participants in these Initiatives gather to share experiences, and advance the contribution of the national and regional Initiatives into the IGF.   National and Regional Initiatives are bottom up activities that are reflective of the priorities and concerns of each individual initiative; in some regions, both national and sub regional events
occur.  

This session has the following objectives: present the outcome of a Survey undertaken by the Secretariat and a volunteer Survey Working Team; host a mini-WSIS+10 reflection from the National and Regionals that held special sessions during their meetings; review a priority topic, based on the bottom up consultation – Connecting the Next Billion; and discuss
perspectives of strengthening the input and contribution of the national and regional IGF Initiatives from 2015 forward, with a special focus on intersessional work during 2016. 

National and Regional Initiatives cover a wide range of Internet Governance issues that
are of great relevance to the IGF itself, but have a particular unique focus as they reach a very broad range of stakeholders, only a few who also engage and attend the IGF.  Through the Initiatives, the impact and engagement of the multi stakeholder model of the IGF is being reflected in an ever growing reflection at national and regional fora. Thus the interaction and engagement of the Substantive Session for the National and Regional IGF Initiatives is a reflection in two directions – into the IGF itself, and from the IGF back into the Initiatives, through the engagement of the Coordinators and participants from the Initiatives.   The Substantive session also allows a further growth of sharing of practices and views across the Initiatives, helping to spread the awareness and engagement of national governments with their national stakeholders in Internet governance policy areas.

4. Agenda and format

Recent large scale security incidents (Target, Home Depot, Anthem, Sony Pictures, etc.) have demonstrated that “cybersecurity” is not just a technical matter for experts, but that it should be also a priority for government leadership and top executives (across all economic sectors), as well as for individuals. 

Many leaders and decision makers in businesses and in governments are realising that while the digital environment is a driver for innovation, productivity and growth, it also introduces risks that can jeopardise economic and social prosperity. For example, digital security attacks can alter production and undermine companies’ reputation; intrusions can be performed to steal trade secrets, and damage growth; personal data breaches can violate the lives of millions, facilitate identity theft and related financial fraud. 
This workshop will bring representatives of governments, businesses and civil society together to explore the following questions: 

• What does “cybersecurity” mean when it is approached from an economic and social perspective? In particular, what does this mean for companies and government agencies? What does risk management mean in this context?
• What does it really mean and imply for leaders and decision makers in governments and businesses to approach the digital environment both from the perspective of the opportunities it offers and the risks it can pose? 
• What are the cultural and governance challenges in businesses? Are there specific challenges for SMEs?
• How can communities better understand each other to work together towards a better management of digital security risk? 
• What are the consequences in terms of broader Internet governance? 
• How is “cybersecurity” governance impacting policies concerning Internet use?

Annual Meeting of the Dynamic Coalition on Platform responsibility 

12 November, 14:00-15:30, Room 6 

The digital environment is characterised by ubiquitous intermediation: most of the actions we take on the web are enabled, controlled or otherwise regulated through the operation of online platforms. Increasingly, the operation of these platforms affects individuals’ ability to develop their own personality and engage in a substantial amount of social interactions.

In light of the key role that online platforms are playing in shaping a global information society and the significant impact they have on the exercise of the rights of Internet users, an expectation exists that such entities behave “responsibly”, thus refraining from the violation of internationally recognised human rights standards and offering effective remedies aimed at repairing the negative consequences that their activities may have on users’ rights.

The Annual Meeting of the Dynamic Coalition on Platform Responsibility (DCPR) will explore the role of online platforms in the Internet ecosystem and their responsibility to respect human rights. Importantly, all participants will have the possibility to discuss the Recommendations on Terms of Service and Human Rights, elaborated by the DCPR, focusing on the most concrete and tangible means for online platforms to bring their responsibility to bear.

Description

Participants

Women, as one of the fundamental stakeholders in the information society, play a very crucial role. It is important for the IGF to fully integrate gender concerns in its work. The three sectors with the IGF's defining feature of mutistakeholderism are not monolithis, unitary and consistent actors. Greater efforts have to be to ensure that women's diverse perspectives are brought to the forefront in each stakeholder group. Ultimately, a rights based approach to Internet governance is the only safeguard for women to fully enjoy the benefits of the Internet.

Access to the Internet is extremely important for women to be able to gain information which may not be available to them otherwise. This will also facilitate them to achieve full realisation of their rights, especially in case of those from the marginalised communities. The Internet can also function as the harbinger of citizenship rights, bridging their right to be informed with the duty of the governance institutions to inform.

http://review.intgovforum.org/igf-2015/dynamic-coalitions/dynamic-coalition-on-internet-rights-principles-irpc/

This meeting marks six years since the IRPC Charter of Human Rights and Principles for the Internet begun as a collaborative, cross-sector project to develop a coherent and legally viable human rights framework that could be applied to Internet governance policy-making and processes. In that time it has moved from rough draft form to an authoritative working document that has framed and guided thinking across a number of sectors. In the last few years it has been implemented on the ground. For instance, it has informed intergovernmental analyses of existing human rights for the online environment (e.g. the Council of Europe Guide on Human Rights for Internet Users) and legal analyses (e.g. the Chilean Institute of Human Rights). The Charter and its “Ten Punchy Principles” have proven their relevance as working models for grassroots awareness-raising campaigns (e.g. the Hivos IG-MENA Click Rights campaign), and innovative legislative initiatives (e.g. the NZ Greens’ Internet Rights and Freedoms Bill). The Charter work has also benefitted and learnt from precursor and parallel initiatives through the contributions of individuals and organizations in the IRPC such as the APC Bill of Internet Rights and the Brazilian Marco Civil da Internet. The IRPC Charter, as a whole and the 10 IRP Principles in particular, are also part of university curricula around the world, from Latin America to the Philippines, to the UK and the USA.

The current version of the Charter has therefore achieved its goals and had a clear impact in human rights advocacy for the Internet. In addition it has been published in booklet form in English and nine other languages and so become accessible to new audiences online and in print form. Because it has been developed as a comprehensive framework anchored in international human rights law and norms, the Charter has also been a formative contributor to increasing official recognition that online rights and fundamental freedoms matter too, e.g. the UNHRC 2012 Resolution and the NETmundial Outcome Document last year. But these six years have also been marked by major technological developments, and revelations that have implications for how human rights can be protected and enjoyed online, and future roles and responsibilities for the Internet’s governance. Along with celebrating these achievements comes the opportunity to solicit suggestions from the broader IG community from all stakeholders, as part of the IGF’s Dynamic Coalition consultation. This meeting will provide an opportunity to review and summarize this feedback.

The first half of the meeting is in two parts:

(1) Roundtable

A) First, a roundtable discussion that assembles members of the IRPC and invited Human Rights experts attending IGF João Pessoa to first discuss recent implementations and adaptations of the IRPC Charter that have applied human rights frameworks in the technical sector (i.e, at the ICANN and IETF); recent consultations of the IRPC Charter; and recent developments in translation of the IRPC Charter (Launch of the Braizilian Portuguese translation).

B) Next, preparation for the Dynamic Coalition Main Sessions at which the IRPC will present the IRPC Output Document. Participants will discuss the results of the online consultation of the IRPC Charter requesting feedback from the audience on specific consultation points. At the end of this half of the session, inputs will be collected to provide support and content for a summary statement that will be drafted and presented to the Main Session on Dynamic Coalitions Day 4 and 5.

(2) Annual General Meeting: The second half of the session will be the coalition’s Annual General Meeting. The IRPC Charter is available online in Portuguese, Spanish, English, and several other languages at http://Internetrightsandprinciples.org/site/.

Background Note

The Internet Rights and Principles Dynamic Coalition is an open network of individuals and organisations based at the UN Internet Governance Forum (IGF) committed to making human rights and principles work for the online environment.

Since the 2009 IGF in Sharm El Sheikh we have been working to outline how human rights standards should be interpreted to apply to the Internet environment, and the internet policy principles which must be upheld in order to create an environment which supports human rights to the maximum extent possible.

The main work of the Internet Rights and Principles Coalition (IRP Coalition) has been to translate existing human rights to the internet environment to build awareness, understanding and a shared platform for mobilisation around rights and principles for the internet.

Our flagship document, the Charter of Human Rights and Principles for the Internet covers the whole gambit of human rights drawing on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other covenants that make up the International Bill of Human Rights at the United Nations (http://www.ohchr.org/EN/Issues/Pages/WhatareHumanRights. aspx). It is the outcome of work from many people and organizations over the years and is growing in stature as others start to apply its 23 clauses to specific situations.

Since the 3rd Internet Governance Forum (IGF) meeting in Hydrabad (2008), IoT has been on the agenda for multi-stakeholder discussions of all IGFs, We came to understand that the way forward is to be found in taking ethical considerations into account from the outset, both in the development, deployment and use phases of the life cycle, thus to find a sustainable way ahead using IoT helping to create a free, secure and enabling rights based environment. This has resulted in a draft Statement that can be found at http://review.intgovforum.org/igf-2015/dynamic-coalitions/dynamic-coalition-on-the-internet-of-things-dc-iot-4/. This statement is on the table for this session. We want to further explore what “ethical” actually means in this global context, and how a commitment to such an ethical approach could look like. Earlier reports on the work can be found the DC IoT website at http://www.iot-dynamic-coalition.org/. The DC workshop will be oriented around 5 key ideas that are reflecting our current thinking working towards a common appreciation of IoT good practice in 2016.  These ideas are at the core of the draft declaration. Welcome to join!

How do we ensure that we connect the next billion, in absence of technology and connectivity that can reach every individual, globally? The Dynamic Coalition on Public Access in Libraries believes that this will only be possible when we recognize the value of the institutions that we already have in our communities for connecting people and information: 320,000 public libraries.

The Dynamic Coalition is presenting a statement of principles for feedback during the 2015 IGF main sessions that proposes the critical role of libraries for connecting communities and individuals. In preparation for taking action on these principles, panelists at the DC-PAL workshop will discuss how organizations are connecting communities, and provide examples of actions that each stakeholder group can take so that libraries can realize their potential to connect the next billion. 

Following this discussion, participants will participate in planning the work of the DC-PAL in 2016. The coordinators propose that the objective of 2016 will be to agree upon three concrete actions that members of each stakeholder group can take to further the principles of promoting connectivity, access and media and information literacy through libraries.

Speakers:

• Manu K. Bhardwaj, U.S. Department of State – Global Connect Initiative
• Stuart Hamilton, International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) – UN 2030 Development Agenda
• Ramunė Petuchovaitė, Electronic Information for Libraries (EIFL) – Capacity building in Ghana, Kenya and Uganda.
• Moderator: Christina de Castell, International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA)

Schedule:

• 11:00-11:50 Discussion of existing initiatives that promote public access in libraries by participating stakeholder groups
• 11:50-12:20 Proposal and discussion of recommended stakeholder actions to promote the DC-PAL principles as 2016 DC-PAL activity
• 12:20-12:30 Conclusion and action plan

The Freedom Online Coalition (FOC) is a partnership of governments who abide by the principle that “human rights apply online as they do offline”, and are committed to working together to support and protect Internet freedoms worldwide. The FOC was established at the inaugural Freedom Online Conference in The Hague in 2011. Today, the Coalition has 28 members, spanning from Africa to Asia, Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East.

By joining the Coalition, its members commit to upholding and advancing the Coalition’s shared goals and values, as stated in the FOC Founding Declaration (Freedom Online: Joint Action for Free Expression on the Internet), the Nairobi Terms of Reference, and the Tallinn Agenda.

Coalition members will give updates on the work of the Coalition since IGF Istanbul and the activities of the three working groups (WG 1 – An Internet Free and Secure; WG 2 - Digital Development and Openness and WG 3 – Privacy and Transparency Online)  on key issues of concern to Internet freedom.

At this IGF Open Forum, we invite the IGF community to engage in a Q&A with FOC member states, the FOC Secretariat and the co-chairs of the Working Groups on Coalition activities.

Revenue
Streams That Grow And Sustain Internet Economies

Conference
Day 3, November 12th 14:00-15:30

Hosts:

Technology Education Institute, Washington, D.C.

EveryLayer, San Francisco, California

Welcoming Remarks:  Moderator - Ambassador David A. Gross, Wiley
Rein, LLP (3 minutes) (confirmed)

Format:  Each panelist has five minutes for remarks
with remaining time for audience participation.  At the end of each panel and following the
important audience participation, Ambassador Gross will sum up key points.

Setting The Stage: Manu
Bhardwaj, Government, Senior Advisor on Technology and Internet Policy to the
Under Secretary of State, US Department of State (7 minutes) (confirmed)

Theme Questions:

What impact do higher/lower taxes, tariffs, licenses and permit fees have on the
expansion, adoption and integration of Internet enabled goods and services of a
country?

When considering how best to invest the tax/fee revenues from a country’s Internet
economy is it preferable to dedicate asset flows to the country’s Universal
Service Fund (USF) to be reinvested?  Or
can you get the same levels of return if the revenue goes in as general funds.

What tax and investment regimes should a country consider for their maturing
Internet economy if they want to ensure robust growth, adoption and
integration? In designing a national broadband plan for a country should
consideration be given to establishing a USF? When considering the challenges
of sustainable economic development should a county look to invest in Internet
capacity building, e-health, e-education and e-libraries? Will these areas and
others in the Internet ecosystem give the country the greatest return on their
investment?

IGF Day 3 - 12 November 2015 - 2:00-4:00pm

Overview:

The objective of this session is to provide the global Internet community, and policymakers in particular, with an informed and balanced dialogue on the complex Internet policy issue of “zero-rating.”

The purpose of the session is to help others, in their respective countries and locales, in their own analyses of Zero-Rating (ZR). The session will promote access to expert insight and multistakeholder community discussion. We encourage remote and in-person participation and aim for complete diversity across stakeholder groups and perspectives. As a main session, translation will be available in the official UN languages.

There are many different viewpoints on ZR, with some stakeholders being completely against the practice to others being fully supportive. In the open discussion leading up to this session, it has become apparent that some stakeholder approaches to ZR are more nuanced and varied than “for or against.” The session will consider the full spectrum of views.

In the case where ZR is advanced as a means to drive Internet access and narrow the digital divide, this session will also explore alternative approaches, such as the use of community networks.

Agenda:

The agenda is currently being developed between organizers and moderators. Based upon list discussion to date, the session will involve the following elements:

• Introduction and Opening - After a brief introduction by the session organizers, the lead moderator will ask expert speakers to provide a brief description of how they view ZR.

• Multistakeholder, expert dialogue - A moderated discussion on zero-rating amongst experts holding different positions and perspectives. The discussion will be based upon policy questions contributed from the community.

• Community questions and discussion - Remote and in-person participants will be invited to pose questions to the experts, as well as to engage in guided discussion on topics raised.

• Alternatives - Alternatives to zero-rating as a means to advance access, such as community networks, will be explained and illustrated.

• Contributions from relevant IGF workshops - A handful of workshops at this year’s IGF will consider zero-rating. Organisers or participants from these workshops will be invited to contribute a readout to the session.

Policy Questions:

Based upon submissions from the community, below are examples of the policy questions that will be addressed during the session:

1. Please describe ZR as you see it in 90 seconds.

2. Under what circumstances are there benefits of ZR? What are the benefits? Under what circumstances are there detriments from ZR? What are the detriments?

3. Is all zero-rating bad? Or are there business models of ZR that are good? Should the bad models be regulated? should the good models be regulated? How?

4. Is ZR an anti-competitive business practice, or does ZR enhance competition?

5. Does a focus on Zero-Rated Internet access in developing countries divert government attention and investment away from other efforts to enhance access?

6. In those countries which have banned zero rating, what has been the impact?

7. Does ZR limit or skew end-user behavior? If so, how? Is this effect different from that of other free offerings over the Internet?

   1. What are your thoughts,, for example, the following hypothetical: Imagine that Developer says to Consumer, "Send me your Internet bill at the end of the month. If you are being charged $Y/MB, and you consume Z MB of our service, we will send you a check for $Y*Z or simply reduce your bill with us by that amount.

8. How should regulators / governments address the potential tension between expanding Internet connectivity and the desire for “pure net neutrality?”

Host Country Chair: Mr. Nivaldo Cleto, Owner at Classico Consultoria, Advisor to the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee of Brazil (CGI.br) and Board member of the Board of Trade of Sao Paulo (JUCESP), as a Representative of the Union.

Plan for online interaction:

This session will include a remote panelist who will be prepared to speak from a remote hub.

Both in situ and remote interventions are being carefully coordinated to maximise a diversity of views in the available time.

This session will treat online participants on equal footing with in situ attendees, and will monitor remote attendees specifically to ensure that their requests to ask questions will be noted. Participant interventions in the session will consist of questions, at two structured points in the session. Floor moderators will collect the questions, and will consult with the panel remote moderator to ensure that remote questions are considered, as the moderators select for stakeholder balance and remote representation. Remote participant questions will be read into the session in English or Spanish by the remote moderator, to avoid 'transaction cost' (time and possible connection difficulties).

‘Feeder’ workshops and/or connections with other sessions:

We have identified the following workshops and other sessions as relevant. Each shall provide a 1-2 minute readout or preview from their session.

1. Workshop No. 156: Zero-rating and neutrality policies in developing countries

2. Workshop No. 79: Zero-rating, Open Internet, and Freedom of Expression

3. Workshop No. 21: SIDS Roundtable: “Free Internet” - Bane or Boon?

4. Dynamic Coalition Session: Dynamic Coalition on Net Neutrality

5. Access/PROTESTE event on Zero-Rating

Desired results/output:

As explained above, our desired result is to provide the global Internet community with a well-rounded and insightful dialogue on the Internet policy issue of zero-rating. The discussion is an output in and of itself, from which policymakers around the world should benefit. In accordance with the IGF reporting requirement, a rapporteur shall produce a neutral report of the session, which will not draw conclusions on the topic, but rather will summarise the main points discussed.

Agenda

The moderator will give the overview of digital trade in TISA, TPP and TTIP and introduce the speakers. 

Then each speaker has 5 to 7 minutes to make their case. The moderator can ask questions to the speakers before she opens the floor to questions. 

At the end of the discussion, the moderator may ask the participants to summarize what they have said, adding any comments they want to include.

Dynamic Coalitions Main Session

 
Length

3 Hours, split into two 90-minute sessions:

-   90 minutes on Day 3 afternoon

-   90 minutes on Day 4 morning

Brief Description/Objective

After 9 years of letting Dynamic Coalitions evolve in the margins of the IGF, the MAG agreed to bring their work into the mainstream and let them present their findings with a view to producing IGF outputs.

This is in line with the recommendations of the CSTD Working Group on IGF improvements which called for more tangible IGF output. The primary objective of this Main Session is to give an opportunity for the DCs to present and showcase their work to the broader community in a formal manner, during a main session at the IGF annual meeting. Many of the DC’s have undertaken and achieved significant work in their respective fields and allowing them to present working outputs for broad community feedback at the IGF will help increase and strengthen IGF outputs for use of other relevant IG fora and bodies. This session will also be a good chance to highlight the work of the DCs in general and hopes to encourage increased participation in the DCs by those attending the IGF in Brazil in person and following remotely.

The structure of the Main Session, split into two days, will reflect the progress of respective DCs’ working outputs, as determined and declared by those same DC’s. The first part of the session on Day 3 will devote speaking slots to those DCs with final, complete outputs, who are actively seeking feedback from the community. Participants will be encouraged to complete rating sheets on the output documents, which will be broken down into the main issues under discussion.

The second part of the Main Session on the morning of Day 4, will give additional DCs who wish to do so the opportunity to introduce themselves, discuss their work, and encourage participation in their group. The rest of the second day will be devoted to discussion and debate on the outputs presented on the first day. The feedback received via rating sheets will provide guidance for the future work of the DCs.

The following DCs will present their work and receive feedback on both days of the Main Session:

- Dynamic Coalition on Accessibility and Disability (DCAD)

- Dynamic Coalition on Core Internet Values (DCCIV)

- Dynamic Coalition on Gender and Internet Governance (DCGIG)

- Dynamic Coalition on Internet Rights & Principles (IRPC)

- Dynamic Coalition on Network Neutrality (DCNN)

- Dynamic Coalition on Platform Responsibility (DCPR)

- Dynamic Coalition on Public Access in Libraries (DCPAL)

- Dynamic Coalition on the Internet of Things (DCIoT) 

The following DCs will introduce their work on the second day of the Main Session:

- Dynamic Coalition on Blockchain Technologies (DCBT)

- Dynamic Coalition on Child Online Safety (DCCOS)

Agenda and Format

The session is divided into two broad parts, in order to: 

a) allow the Dynamic Coalitions to present their work, in the first part.

b) allow for discussions and debate, in the second part.

Policy questions

The various DCs have been invited to formulate policy questions.

Among others, the following policy questions have been proposed for consideration:

-   The Internet of Things (IoT) is in early stages, and in many ways new possibilities are developed and discovered beyond our imagination, and we welcome it for its potential to help alleviate specific societal challenges where it can. To foster both innovation and user trust in the Internet of Things, like the Internet, a careful balance should be struck between regulation and innovation. What principles should we embrace to ensure that <1> innovation and beneficial application of IoT can foster and <2> society is comfortable with the way these products and services are set up?

-  Good Practice aims at developing IoT products, ecosystems and services taking ethical considerations into account from the outset, both in the development, deployment and use phases of the life cycle, thus to find a sustainable way ahead using IoT helping to create a free, secure and enabling rights based environment. In what ways can (and should?) we empower the users with regards to the use of data reporting on actions relating to their specific behavior as observed in an IoT enabled environment?

-  How can policy makers, libraries and businesses work together to prioritize providing Internet access through public libraries from an infrastructure standpoint?

-  What actions can IGF participants take to promote the role of libraries in creating informed and engaged populations who can effectively use the internet to access information, obtain government services and participate in social and economic activities?

-  How can we ensure that gender is a cross-cutting theme, not an island or silo, that contributes to strengthening internet governance?

-  How can we strengthen gender diversity - men, women, trans voices -  at all levels of internet governance (participants, moderators and panelists)?

‘Feeder’ Workshops and/or Connections with Other Sessions

The annual DC meetings will take place ahead of the DC Main Session and are designed to provide input into the DC the main session.

Desired Results:

The outcome of the sessions will determine the level of support the various DCs enjoy from the broader IGF community. One of the session’s objectives is to determine whether there is acceptance on moving towards an IGF output.
