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.

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.

-        Open Debate with the audience

 

 

 

 

 

The IGF best practice forum (BPF) on Online Abuse and Gender-Based Violence Against Women is both timely and instructive considering the increasing effort by different stakeholders at national and global levels to understand and address the problem of online abuse and gender-based violence against women. It has showed that there are no one-size-fits all solutions, and that greater study is needed to further investigate the range of acts, underlying causes, diversity and scope of impact, and potential responses that can be developed for the issue. 

The BPF used an open and inclusive process to gather a broad variety of views and inputs on this multidimensional problem over the past nine months. As a result of this community-driven process, the BPF’s draft findings reflect a rich diversity of responses from various stakeholders and regions regarding the issue. 

Join us and our interactive panel at this session to discuss not only the BPF’s draft findings and recommendations for further exploration, but also the ways in which the problem of online abuse and gender-based violence can continue to be addressed at both the IGF as a critical platform for multistakeholder engagement on key internet policy, governance and human rights issues, and in other policy discussion spaces.

The BPF's third draft, Draft JP, can be downloaded in the section below.

This year, the IGF launched a Best Practices effort on the establishment of CERT teams for Internet Security. Over the last two months, three Lead experts supported by an independent consultant engaged with a community of participants from major stakeholder groups to exchange existing CSIRT development practices and discussed ways to further collaborate. A draft document was developed based on these initial discussions. The topics identified as part of this multi-stakeholder preparatory process will be further discussed and finalized during this 90 minute session. CERT or CSIRT (Computer Security Incident Response Teams) are organizations of information security personnel who aim to address security incidents as they arise, whether at an organizational, pan-organizational or even national level. They follow defined processes, combined with engineering ingenuity, to ensure security incidents are properly identified, contained and remediated. By nature, many incidents have impact beyond the constituency of one CSIRT, and thus teams often partner with other teams, as well as with private sector, government, civil society and the technical community to protect users of the internet. This round table session will cover the various opportunities and challenges involved in the establishment of Computer Emergency Response Teams to improve internet security. Topics to be discussed will include the role of a CSIRT teams in private sector and government, what a “national CSIRT” truly means, and the high level collaboration processes involved in coordinating widespread incidents. As output of this session, a summary document will be published by the IGF, with recommendations and next-steps on topics ripe for further multi-stakeholder debate between the technical community, government, civil society and private sector. The session will be led by lead experts Christine Hoepers (of CERT.br), Adli Wahid and Maarten Van Horenbeeck (of FIRST) and supported by UN consultant Wout De Natris. We strongly invite participants from all stakeholder groups to attend the session and contribute. No technical experience in the CSIRT community is required, though we recommend making yourself familiar with the preparatory document shared on the IGF web site to be prepared for the discussion.

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.

The IRPC Charter of Human Rights and Principles for the Internet - Online Consultation

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.

Libraries Connect the Next Billion

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

 

With the popularization of smart device and emerging of mobile Internet, mobile payment has become an important way of payment. And various industries met great innovation opportunities based on mobile payment. 

However, some issues emerge accompanying with the industry’s development process. Security and technical standard are the two main issues to be tackled. According to research and survey, the security of mobile payment is one of the main concerns for user. So many of them refused to bind their bank account with the mobile payment application. As to the banks, they also expressed their concerns over malicious attack to the banking system. There is no worldwide mobile payment standard yet that it is not easy to conduct worldwide promotion. For the governments, mobile payment brought new challenges to their regulatory capability, because mobile payment involved several different domains, including banking, telecommunications, payment system etc. 

The panel will invite multi-stakeholder representatives to discuss the following points and provide policy advice: 

a.How could mobile payment further promote Internet economy development? And how to define the future development direction of mobile payment? 

b.How to strengthen the construction of mobile payment security and how to give proper education to the users?

c.What are the feasible policies that the government can make to both promote mobile payment development and keep its vitality? 

d.How to get over the difficulties in establishing worldwide technical standard on mobile payment, realize cross-border payment and to protect user’s information?

The interest of governments in understanding and taxing Internet services is escalating. Whereas some countries are interested in fighting international tax-avoidance strategies of multinational companies, others tackle the issue of taxing specific Internet services within their territory.

Due to the novelty of the topic at this venue, the organizers expect to (i) collect the views of different stakeholders, (ii) highlight some of the most important issues pertaining to Internet taxation, (iii) identify proper venues where this matter (iii.a) is being and (iii.b) should be addressed, (iv) brainstorm ways forward (e.g., best practices, formal legal compromises, multilateral and multistakeholder approaches), (v) establish a coalition of stakeholders interested in further research and development on this matter.

Expected taxation topics: Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS), OTTs and telecom services, bitcoin, cloud, data centers, e-commerce, internacional corporate strategies, jurisdiction, taxing/detaxing

While considerable attention is given to the availability of the communication infrastructure to expand usage of the Internet, little attention has been given to the accessibility barriers which prevent over one billion potential users to benefit from the Internet, including for essential services. Those barriers affect persons living with a variety of sensorial or physical disabilities as well as illiterate individuals who may benefit from the same solutions designed for persons with disabilities. 

This session will examine the technological and programmatic solutions available today for an effective removal of such barriers, potentially bringing a considerable number of new users to the Internet. Examples in Education, Emergency services, Assistive Technologies for work and independent living in a variety of economic and geographic environments will be covered. The session will also provide a detailed benchmark and statistical overview of the progress made by countries around the world in implementing those solutions. A general discussion with government, industry and persons with disabilities representatives will ensue.

Background:

This will not be an Open Forum about the RIRs as organizations. This will be an Open Forum which will talk about the Numbering Community: how the number community has developed policies for the management and distribution of IP resources; how it has lead the deployment of technologies that use such resources, i.e. IPv6; and it will also introduce some of their efforts in producing a proposal for the transition of the stewardship of the IANA numbers function. If time permits, it will also talk about community participation in capacity building efforts that RIRs have.

Proposal:

The Numbering Community has been actively working in bottom-up processes even before ICANN and WSIS existed. It has worked well to coordinate IP addressing resources, at the regional and at the global levels. This has been a key element for the Internet to work well over many years. This Open Forum will talk about this story of community involvement in the Internet Numbers space.

Objective:

To explain the Numbers Community to a wider audience. To welcome new participants to this community. To encourage participation in Policy Development Processes.

Outline:

This is a 60 minutes session. This session will have Axel Pawlik, current NRO Chair, as moderator.

Aaron Hughes, CEO of 6connect, from North America, will talk about community-led policy development processes, at the regional and global levels.

Then Nicolás Antoniello, Advisor to a Ministry in Uruguay, from Latin America, will talk about the policy forum of Lacnic and examples of policies in this region.

Saskia Kleine-Tebbe, from the Federal Ministry of the Interior in Germany, will talk about how governments are also part of the Numbers Community and examples of their participation in the RIPE-NCC policy process.

Mike Blanche, from Google, will talk about the multistakeholder nature of the RIPE community and organisation.

Lito Ibarra, Member of the Board of ICANN and Lacnic, from El Salvador, will talk about the role of the Internet Number Community in Internet Governance processes, such as the IANA transition.

Then Izumi Okutani, from JPNIC in Japan, will talk about the work to develop the Numbers Proposal for the IANA stewardship transition.

Finally Janvier Ngnoulaye, Lecturer in  theICT- University of Yaounde from Cameroon and former Afrinic Board Member will speak about community involvement in Internet development and how IP addresses are progressing in Africa.

There will be time for active participation from the audience.

Enhancing Multistakeholder Cooperation

Description

Tech solutions. Internet governance challenges. There seems to be a bottomless well of both and yet successful examples the former addressing the latter are comparatively sparse - especially in developing nations like the Philippines that need these solutions the most.

In the course of running Dakila’s Digibak program, we have identified a concerning gap, one between those developing the solutions and those facing the problems.

Whether it’s gaps (or chasms) in culture, capacity, understanding, or access, the Digibak Boot camp is aimed to bridge them, bringing different stakeholders such as tech experts, human rights workers, humanitarians, development workers, government agencies together to collaborate on technology, tools and strategies that are practical and practicable.

The Digibak Bootcamp gamifies the real-world challenges and processes such as SECURITY and PRIVACY faced by CSO's, government, companies, and other Internet stakeholders.

The game emphasizes on collaboration among stakeholders to identify the roadblocks and challenges that they face and the resources and tools that they need or that they already have. The game aims for stakeholders to find out how to collaborate with each other to solve problems they face in their communities, both online and offline.

The game also wishes to address problems faced by civil society organizations, especially human rights defenders, in using online tools to campaign for or against specific human rights issues.
