WEBCAST TUE-THU: Africa Peering and Interconnection Forum 2017 (AfPIF) live from Capetown, South Africa #afpif2018
by Joly MacFie Aug. 22, 2018

Aug. 22, 2018

Every year I say it. This is the single best event that ISOC puts on. Developing peering and interconnections is at the very heart of what we do. Right now it's just about halfway through Day 2. Apologies for late notice but there was a fair amount of troubleshooting to do on the stream. I break the stream down into sessions at the end of day, so at least it is easy to catch up. <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/nsfmmwrcn4/> [image: livestream] <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/afpif2018>The *9th Africa Peering and Interconnection Forum <https://www.afpif.org/afpif2018/>*(AfPIF) takes place from *21-23 August, 2018* in *Capetown, South Africa*. The event, which this year is being held in conjunction with *iWeek <https://iweek.org.za/>*, discusses regional interconnection dynamics and content issues that are critical components of transit deficits. As a multi-stakeholder forum, AfPIF seeks to foster cross-border interconnection opportunities by ensuring that key players — infrastructure providers, Internet service providers (ISPs), IXPs, international financial institutions, and policy-makers and regulators are present at the event. The event is being streamed live via the *Internet Society livestream channel <http://new.livestream.com/internetsociety/afpif2018>*. Capetown time is UTC+2 thus 6 hours ahead of NYC. *What: Africa Peering and Interconnection Forum 2018 <https://www.afpif.org/afpif2018/>* *Where: Westin Hôtel, Capetown, South Africa* *When: 21-23 August, 2018* *Program: https://www.afpif.org/afpif2018/agenda/ <https://www.afpif.org/afpif2018/agenda/>* *Webcast: https://livestream.com/internetsociety/afpif2018/ <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/afpif2018/>* *Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ISOCAfrica/ <https://www.facebook.com/ISOCAfrica/>* *Twitter: #AfPIF2018 http://bit.ly/afpif2018 <http://bit.ly/afpif2018>* *Permalink* http://isoc-ny.org/p2/10464 -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast ---------------------------------------------------------------

Data Protection directives need to include Data Transparency directives.
by sivasubramanian muthusamy Aug. 22, 2018

Aug. 22, 2018

Hello, (I sent the following message as comments on an epdp Report on Temporary Specification for gTLD registration data. But this is more of a comment on Data Protection regulation in general, so copied to the Internet Policy list) In Data Protection terminology, "Personal data" is more of a generic or 'loose' term that applies both to individual and business data. In DNS, Registration Data does not make any distinction between individual registrants and business registrants whose web space is for some form of (e)commerce activity. While there is a need for privacy of personal data of individual registrants, the opposite, need for greater transparency, may be required in the case of data related to any form of commercial, perhaps even Government and non Government web spaces. The rationale is that the online presence of small and large businesses alike are often short of information pertaining to physical location, names of functionaries, officials or the person in-charge. A Phone company does not have listed phone number, an email company does not have a visible email addresses ! This is part of a pattern of multiple players transacting business online from a carefully guarded climate of "do-not-reply" email accounts, phones without a call back number, answering machines, conveniently assisted by BPO intermediaries who keep the consumer at an unapproachable distance. A hotel reservation portal or a small shop online transacts business online without allowing the consumer the ability to reach them for various reasons. Limiting access to Registration data indiscriminately and only for 'legitimate uses' may perpetuate this trend of inaccessibility of business entities, widen the disconnect between business and consumer with the effect that multiple commercial registrants would continue to design their online presence to transact business without due accountability. The section 4.4.2, Lawfulness & Purposes of Processing gTLD Registration Data as written, might have the unintended consequence of perpetuating unhealthy protection for segments that actually require information disclosure and transparency. How the DNS will make such a distinction is another question. Does GDPR make such a distinction?

A brexit problem that I heard about
by sivasubramanian muthusamy Aug. 21, 2018

Aug. 21, 2018

Hello, Someone who is a UK citizen some years ago registered a .EU internet domain name. This happens to be linked to a legacy Google account which his family uses. The domain Registry has now advised that it will be terminating .EU domains for UK individuals and organisations as early as next year. The legacy Google account will not permit him to change the domain name, and doing so would create a whole range of complications in any case. One solution is to maintain business or residential presence in EU in some manner ifor the sake of the domain. Is there lany alternative solutions please? Sivasubramanian M

List of Approved Workshops for the IGF 2018
by Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro Aug. 6, 2018

Aug. 6, 2018

Dear Colleagues, The List of Workshops for the IGF 2018 in Paris that will coincide with the Paris Peace Forum that have been approved can be found here <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2018-workshops-selecti…> . This is the result of the workshop review and selection process conducted by the IGF <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/lexicon/8#IGF> Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/lexicon/8#MAG>) for the 2018 programme. A total of 71 workshops have been *approved*. In light of the community’s comments, the MAG worked to reduce redundancy and increase cohesiveness in the programme. Hence, some proposals are requested to modify their duration, and those proposals which showed complementarity and synergy with one another are therefore asked to merge. Many of the merged workshops were requested by proposers, and we would like to thank them for their support. Proposers will soon receive individualized emails with further details on their status. Sincerely, -- *Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro aka Sala T* *P. O. Box 17862* *Suva* *Republic of Fiji* *Cell: +679 7656770; * *Home: +679 3362003* *Twitter: @SalanietaT* *"You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honour." Aristotle*
