WEBCAST TODAY: Internet Society + Chatham House Panel: Do We Still Trust the Internet?
by Joly MacFie Dec. 14, 2017

Dec. 14, 2017

You probably are familiar with, or have heard of, the Chatham House Rule, which protects the anonymity of discussants. Fortunately that has not been invoked for this, thus we are able to webcast what promises to be very good session. Note the participation, not only of ISOC's Sally Wentworth, but also Marina Kaljurand of Estonia, where there recently has been a crisis of confidence <https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2017/09/security_flaw_i.html> in the crypto behind their national ID card. 1pm NYC time. Open Captions. [image: livestream] <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/securitization/> Today, *Thursday 14 December 2017* the *Internet Society <https://internetsociety.org/>* and *Chatham House <https://www.chathamhouse.org/event/do-we-still-trust-internet>* will host a panel discussion *Do We Still Trust the Internet? <https://www.internetsociety.org/events/chatham-house-panel-discussion-do-we…>*in London. Over the past few years, there has been a clear shift towards greater ‘securitization’ of the Internet, where security is less about personal data integrity and network resilience, and more about national security and political control. This is evident through the practice of Internet shutdowns, data localization policies, attacks on the multi-stakeholder model of Internet governance and encryption backdoors. At this event, held in partnership with the Internet Society, participants will discuss the trend towards ‘securitization’, its implications and how to strengthen trust in the Internet, Participants: ** *Marina Kaljurand*, Chair, Global Commission on the Stability of Cyberspace; Minister of Foreign Affairs, Estonia (2015-16); *Sally Wentworth*, Vice President of Global Policy Development, Internet Society; *Patricia Lewis*, Research Director, International Security Department, Chatham House. Moderator: *Emily Taylor*, Associate Fellow, International Security and Editor, Journal of Cyber Policy, Chatham House. The event will be webcast live via the *Internet Society Livestream Channel <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/securitization/>*, *YouTube <https://youtu.be/O5ZiAsQSzRw>*, and *Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/InternetSociety/>*. *What: Chatham House Panel: Do We Still Trust the Internet? <https://www.internetsociety.org/events/chatham-house-panel-discussion-do-we…>When: Thursday 14 December 2017 18:00 – 19:00 UTC | 13:00-14:00 ESTWebcast: Livestream <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/securitization/> | Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/InternetSociety/> | YouTube <https://youtu.be/O5ZiAsQSzRw>Captioning: https://www.streamtext.net/player?event=CFI-ISOC <https://www.streamtext.net/player?event=CFI-ISOC>Twitter: #securitization - http://bit.ly/2AoPlpC <http://bit.ly/2AoPlpC>* Comment <http://isoc-ny.org/p2/9709#respond> See all comments <http://isoc-ny.org/p2/9709#comments> *Permalink* http://isoc-ny.org/p2/9709 -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast -------------------------------------------------------------- -

Re: [At-Large] FCC TO SCRAP NET NEUTRALITY
by Alan Greenberg Dec. 11, 2017

Dec. 11, 2017

Two points of clarification. 1. The mission of ICANN has always been narrow, but with the major revision of the Bylaws following the ICANN Accountability work over the last two years, the mission has become even more restricted and is explicitly enumerated, thus 1.1(b) explicitly saying that the previous paragraphs are complete. So not being counter the mission does not mean it is included. Similarly, expressions such as "broadly defined" are not how this is viewed by many. I happen to agree that ICANN's mission should be more flexible. But that was not the bottom-up decision of the community. 2. My reference to years of experience was not in relation to interpreting ICANN's mission, but in demonstrating that many in this group have a long history of doing things to aid the Internet without regard to financial or other benefits.

Would you like to participate in the SIDS Preparatory Session at the IGF 2017 [ Panelists and Volunteers Needed] #IGF2017 #SIDS
by Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro Dec. 11, 2017

Dec. 11, 2017

Dear All, 1. Whilst on the MAG, I noticed the dismal participation of SIDS in the IGF aside from Tracy's Workshop annually and so I am looking to *increase* participation of SIDS in this year's IGF as well as the coming year. 2. I managed to reserve a slot for the Preparatory Pre-IGF for two hours for SIDS Preparation for the IGF 2017. i thought that it would be useful to prepare SIDS participants and those with an interest in SIDS to actively participate. This is scheduled for Sunday December 17, 2017 09:00 - 11:00 Salle 5 <https://igf2017.sched.com/venue/Salle+5> *Centre International de Conférences Genève (CICG).* 3. This will require moderators, I was thinking Tracy Hackshaw could give some opening remarks as a Government representative of Trinidad and Tobago and SIDS involvement within the IGF space. Noting that Tracy will be heavily involved in the ISOC Stream, I was hoping that Peng Hwa (civil society) and Bevil Wooding (technical community) could be moderators for the SIDS Event. 4. As you know, the SIDS includes the AIMS, Caribbean and the Pacific, see <https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/topics/sids/list>. 5. I was also just advised 30 minutes ago that someone had cancelled their Booth Booking so it has been given to us as SIDS, which means, we can invite any SIDS member to showcase their countries and other material etc. 6. Objective would be to create an Alliance and Mailing List for those from SIDS communities where there can share information, challenges and resources, networking opportunities and also to provide an active base with which to comfortably apply for many workshops in 2018. 7. I will be present to provide support but would like Peng Hwa, Tracy and Bevil to take the lead role in moderating. 8. For those who would like to contribute or play an active role in the Preparatory Session, flick an email to sala(a)pasifikanexus.nu 9. If you would like to bring material from your organization to the IGF and showcase it in the SIDS Booth, your are welcome to bring your pamphlets, brochures and posters and bring your own pins and tape for placing on the wall or blutac etc. This is your chance to showcase the Region and your community and developments in your country or community. 10. It would be great to have representatives from the Private Sector and Government feature in the Panels for the Preparatory Session, so if you want to volunteer yourself, please let us know. 11. If you would also like to contribute to the Agenda, let us know by emailing sala(a)pasifikanexus.nu 12. *Thoughts on Tentative Agenda* - Setting the Context Introduction to Internet Governance. WGIG 2005 Report, Mandate of the IGF and Renewal of the IGF, and the IGF in Transition. [10 minutes] - Increasing Quality of SIDS participation in the IGF [10 min] - Regional Internet Registries (NRO), Overview of Internet Use in SIDS Countries [AFRINIC. APNIC, ARIN, LACNIC, LACNIC, RIPE NCC] [15 min] - Private Sector (Business Community from SIDS Region) [Theme to be developed] [15 min] - Civil Society [Digital Rights, Electronic Frontier etc] [15 min] - Overview of Sessions at the IGF 2017 [Cyber Security, Human Rights, Trade etc] - Discussion on SIDS Network and appointing Secretariat - Identifying Terms of Reference and Scope for Network - Appointing Coordinators and creation of Mailing List and Looking for volunteers to host the listserv etc - Developing future pathways as a global community. -- *Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro aka Sala T* *P.
