Introductions Foreword By: Alice Munyua, Chair, 2011 Internet Governance Forum The Sixth Internet Governance Forum The Sixth IGF was held from 27-30 September 2011 at the United Nations Office at Nairobi (UNON), and I am very pleased to say it was considered a success by most participants, observers and by all the organising team. The overall theme was "The Internet as a catalyst for change: access, development, freedoms and innovation". The location of the global IGF in Kenya allowed for showcasing of the considerable strides made by Kenya’s ICT sector and its multi-stakeholder model for policy development and citizen engagement, which continues to provide best practice. In addition, it meant that for the first time ever over half of the participants were from the Africa region and issues of importance to developing countries pertaining to all the themes in the IGF agenda had greater prominence than in previous years. The high incidence of African panellists also brought new perspectives and helped stimulate discussions. The attendance was the highest recorded of all past IGF meetings, with more than 2,000- badged attendees, this bore witness to the value placed on the forum by all stakeholders. The development agenda as a cross-cutting focus in each of the key themes and workshops was of critical importance as it provided an opportunity to highlight the significance of Internet governance as a core element of the development agenda linking socio-economic development, new forms of access innovation as well as new freedoms and human rights. Every IGF has built on the model developed at earlier IGFs and this was true for the Nairobi meeting, which remained faithful to the unique format, which takes into consideration the needs of participants and adapts to new technological and policy environments. This ongoing adjustment continues to be possible with the input of various stakeholders through the open consultation processes, stakeholders’ time and effort in organizing workshops and other events under the guidance of the Multi-stakeholder Advisory Group (MAG). This open, transparent, bottom-up, collaborative and distributed model continues to be an essential feature of not only the IGF but policy ICT related policy processes in Kenya and other countries.The IGF multi-stakeholder model continues to provide every stakeholder an equal footing during open discussions, free from the need to defend their positions in a negotiating environment. This approach continued to prove its value in Nairobi and allowed for frank and open discussions among all stakeholders. 1 The main sessions were organized to maximize the opportunity for open and inclusive dialogue and the exchange of ideas amongst all stakeholders, "feeder" workshops created feedback loops between the main sessions and the different types of meetings being held on related subjects. Each of the main sessions was organized around a set of questions developed during the consultation process. Several pre and side IGF events, including a high level meeting a day before the official IGF increased the IGF’s political profile. The event was not exclusively for ministers, but it afforded auniqueand unparalleled opportunity for them to scope out their ICT related remits and present some issues for the wider stakeholder community to consider and react to. In the process, it provided participating ministers and high-level government officials the opportunity to meet business, technical, civil society, academic and media experts. The Kenya meeting achieved a major turning point for the IGF with more ministers and high-level government officials participating at the IGF than at any other previous event. The use of remote hubs, which has proved to be very successful in ensuring that participants not able to physically attend the event are able to follow and engage in discussions, was also a great success, recording a total of more than 800 remote participants with 2,500 connections from 89 countries made throughout the week. The entire meeting was web cast, with video streaming provided from the main session room and audio streaming from all workshop-meeting rooms. All main sessions and workshops had real time transcription, and the transcripts and video of all meetings. Kenya continues to lead in Internet governance processes in the region and has convened the regional East Africa IGF for the last five years. This sub regional IGF provides a bottom up multi-stakeholder forum for locally relevant in-depth discussions at the national and regional levels. During the 6th IGF, a continental IGF, Africa Internet Governance Forum was launched, with a Kenyan as chair. The continental IGF will provide a useful forum for the continent to discuss its unique issues and challenges. The Kenya organising team sought financial support from diverse stakeholders, the government of Kenya, international and local industry, the technical community and international development partners. As Chair of the local organizing committee as well as chair of the Forum itself, I would again like to offer my heartfelt thanks to all sponsors and partners. The MAG’s work in organising, planning the main sessions, the efforts and commitment of the workshop organisers and contributors, and the enthusiasm of all the participants, contributed to making the Nairobi 2011 IGF a most memorable event and an outstanding success. 2 As we celebrate the success of the IGF meeting in Nairobi, we look forward to a successful event in Baku in 2012. Alice Munyua Chair, 2011 Internet Governance Forum Chair, Kenya Internet Governance Steering Committee, Republic of Kenya 3 Editor’s Introduction By: Brian Gutterman Editorial Approach: Despite having the advantage of experiencing the long process of compiling the 2010 Vilnius publication, this 2011 Nairobi book posed some new and unique challenges. Generally, this fifth volume of the proceedings of the annual IGF meetings follows the same pattern as the previous publications. The vast majority of the content consists of the transcripts of the main sessions and the reports of the workshops that took place throughout the week, organized both chronologically and thematically. Overall, the Nairobi meeting was lauded throughout the week by the delegates there for its general organization. A small glitch during the week however was in the transcription process. At times during the main sessions the audio to the transcribers was lost, which obviously resulted in some periods of time during the sessions where transcription was not available. As a result, when going through the transcripts there are periodic notes that read *audio was lost*, or *transcription was unavailable*. Other times the scribes were unable to capture the names of some participants speaking from the floor. In these instances the reader will notice that remarks are stated as coming ‘from the floor’ rather than giving the full name of the speaker. Again, the majority of the transcripts are there but this must be noted when going through the proceedings. Editing the transcripts nonetheless followed the same process as previous volumes. First step was formatting and performing an initial edit of the verbatim transcripts from the main sessions. Next, the transcripts were slowly trimmed down to a reasonable length, eliminating introductory statements, thank you’s, repetitive or off topic remarks, derogatory comments and personal unrelated statements or exchanges amongst participants. The final phase was fine tuning and cleaning up the grammar

    July 18, 2012 Chairman Julius Genachowski Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street SW Washington, DC 20554 Re: Letter, CG Docket No. 09-158, CC Docket No. 98-170, WC Docket No. 04-36 Dear Chairman Genachowski, Open data and an independent, transparent measurement framework must be the cornerstones of any scientifically credible broadband Internet access measurement program. The undersigned members of the academic and research communities therefore respectfully ask the Commission to remain committed to the principles of openness and transparency and to allow the scientific process to serve as the foundation of the broadband measurement program. Measuring network performance is complex. Even among those of us who focus on this topic as our life’s work, there are disagreements. The scientific process happens best in the sunlight and that can only happen when as many eyes as possible are able to look at a shared set of data, work to replicate results, and assess its meaning and impact. This ensures the conclusions from the broadband measurement allow for meaningful, data-driven policy making. Since the inception of the broadband measurement program, those of us who work on Internet research have lauded its precedent-setting commitment to open-data and transparency. Many of us have engaged with this program, advising on network transparency and measurement methodology and using the openly-released raw data as a part of our research. However, we understand that some participants in the program have proposed significant changes that would transform an open measurement process into a closed one. Specifically, that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is considering a proposal to replace the Measurement Lab server infrastructure with closed infrastructure, run by the participating Internet service providers (ISPs) whose own speeds are being measured.

    INTRODUCTION The 47 ICANN meeting was held from July 14 to July 18 at the Durban convention center and was attended by approximately 1800 participants from 92 countries1. This is the third meeting led by the CEO and President, Fadi Chehadé. July 15 During the opening session, the following points were discussed: i. Hamadoun Touré (UIT) gave a remote presentation in which he highlighted the will to work more closely with ICANN and publicly raised the need to formalize an agreement between the two organizations. This has not been acknowledged by ICANN, but it will surely have repercussions beyond those expressed informally. ii. The Registrar Accreditation Agreement was executed between Registries and Registrars. While it will apply directly to new gTLDs, it sets a trend that may have implications in the best practices and contractual relationships with registrars and the way they manage data, among other things: http://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/raa/approved-with-specs-27jun13-en.pdf iii. Fadi Chehade (ICANN CEO) announced a restructuring at ICANN to account for the impact of new gTLD management in the organization. For such purpose, three distinct operational areas have been created: the Registry-Registrar area within which a special division called “Generic Domain Names” will operate, different from the rest; the Administrative sector and the Security and Technical Sector. iv. Chehade also developed the five pillars on which the future ICANN's strategic plan is based. Thus, five strategic panels were summoned: “Strategy Panel on Identifier Technology Innovation” (responsible: Paul Mockapetris); “Strategy Panel on ICANN's Role in the Internet Organizations' Ecosystem” (responsible: Vint Cerf); “Strategy Panel on ICANN Multistakeholder Innovation” (responsible: Beth Simone Noveck); Strategy Panel on the Public Responsibility Framework (responsible: Nii Quaynor) y “Strategy Panel on the Role of ICANN in the Future of Internet Governance” (responsible not yet defined).

  • Antonio Tajani MEP President of the European Parliament [email protected]
    Antonio Tajani MEP President of the European Parliament [email protected] 12 June 2018 Mr President, Article 13 of the EU Copyright Directive Threatens the Internet As a group of the Internet’s original architects and pioneers and their successors, we write to you as a matter of urgency about an imminent threat to the future of this global network. The European Commission’s proposal for Article 13 of the proposed Directive for Copyright in the Digital Single Market Directive was well-intended. As creators ourselves, we share the concern that there should be a fair distribution of revenues from the online use of copyright works, that benefits creators, publishers, and platforms alike. But Article 13 is not the right way to achieve this. By requiring Internet platforms to perform automatic filtering all of the content that their users upload, Article 13 takes an unprecedented step towards the transformation of the Internet from an open platform for sharing and innovation, into a tool for the automated surveillance and control of its users. Europe has been served well by the balanced liability model established under the Ecommerce Directive, under which those who upload content to the Internet bear the principal responsibility for its legality, while platforms are responsible to take action to remove such content once its illegality has been brought to their attention. By inverting this liability model and essentially making platforms directly responsible for ensuring the legality of content in the first instance, the business models and investments of platforms large and small will be impacted. The damage that this may do to the free and open Internet as we know it is hard to predict, but in our opinions could be substantial.

  • The Struggle for WHOIS Privacy: Understanding the Standoff Between ICANN and the World’S Data Protection Authorities
    The Struggle for WHOIS Privacy: Understanding the Standoff Between ICANN and the World’s Data Protection Authorities by Stephanie E. Perrin A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto © Copyright by Stephanie E. Perrin 2018 The Struggle for WHOIS Privacy: Understanding the Standoff Between ICANN and the World’s Data Protection Authorities Stephanie E. Perrin Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto 2018 Abstract This dissertation examines the struggle over privacy rights in WHOIS, the public directory of registrants of Internet domain names. ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, is the non-profit corporation established by the U.S. government to run the Domain Name System and the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, functions essential for Internet operations. Through contractual obligation, ICANN requires registrars to collect and publish personal data in the WHOIS directory, contravening many national data protection laws. My research first asked how ICANN managed to avoid the demands of authorities mandated to enforce data protection laws. Analyzing extensive documentary records maintained by ICANN, I demonstrate that the organization refused to effectively accommodate privacy concerns in their policies. I found that, since its inception, ICANN rebuffed repeated complaints by data protection authorities that WHOIS requirements violate national laws and continue to avoid privacy compliance. I provide evidence of a clash of values in the emerging commercial Internet. Business enterprises with strong intellectual property interests, supported by the U.S. ii government, initiated the focus on an open WHOIS policy to ensure they could identify suspected copyright and trademark violators.
