IGF Session Recording Links
by Joly MacFie June 23, 2025

June 23, 2025

Firstly, at first view, the Norway IGF team are to be commended for producing some of the best quality IGF video ever! As you probably know, the *IGF Interactive schedule* is at *https://intgovforum.org/en/content/igf-2025-schedule* <https://intgovforum.org/en/content/igf-2025-schedule> On there, there is the tab '*IGF 2025 Live*' which includes links to UN WebTV, YouTube, and Real Time Text. *UN WebTV* is covering only plenary sessions, but with translation into the 6 UN languages. *https://webtv.un.org/en/search?query=IGF2025* <https://webtv.un.org/en/search?query=IGF2025> The site can be filtered to display only recordings in a particular language, for instance *ENGLISH* <https://webtv.un.org/en/search?query=IGF2025&sort_by=newest&antibot_key=tD8…> The *YouTube* links provided use an outdated address system, they should be *Live Webcasts: https://www.youtube.com/@igf/streams <https://www.youtube.com/@igf/streams>* *Trimmed sessions: https://www.youtube.com/@igf/videos <https://www.youtube.com/@igf/videos>* I have notified the IGF secretariat, and this may soon be remedied. *Real Time Text* (provided by Caption First stenos via Streamtext) is ephemeral, and may disappear once a session is over. Transcripts will be posted, after a delay, at *https://intgovforum.org/en/igf-2025-transcripts* <https://intgovforum.org/en/igf-2025-transcripts> ----------------- The value of *Digital Watch's DiploAI Reporting page* cannot be overstated.It comprises AI-generated reports from as many sessions as practical. These include not only verbatim transcripts, summaries, and in-depth analysis, but also speaker lists, which, ridiculously some might say, calibrate the number of words delivered by each speaker, and the actual rate of delivery! *https://dig.watch/event/internet-governance-forum-2025 <https://dig.watch/event/internet-governance-forum-2025>* A remarkable achievement! --------------- *ISOC LIVE* is making back up recordings of just a few sessions (e.g. GigaNet, DC-CIV) which will be posted/archived with multilingual open captions when processed. *https://isoc.live/?s=igf2025 <https://isoc.live/?s=igf2025>* -------------------- *** ISOC.LIVE is a free webcasting support service for the Internet Society Community - if you would like to become a monthly sponsor, or need support - contact support(a)isoc.live *** - -- -------------------------------------- Joly MacFie +12185659365 -------------------------------------- -

Invitation to GigaNet Symposium at IGF 2025 – WSIS+20 and Future Internet Infrastructure
by Joanna Kulesza June 19, 2025

June 19, 2025

Dear colleagues, Please allow me to warmly invite you to join us at the *GigaNet Symposium <https://www.giga-net.org/giganet-annual-symposium/> on Day Zero of the IGF 2025* in Lillestrøm, Norway, for the session: *“From the Tunis Agenda to WSIS+20: Pioneering Sustainable Development with LEO Satellites as Critical Internet Infrastructure”* 🗓️ *23 June 2025* | 🕘 *09:00–10:10* | 📍 *IGF 2025, Lillestrøm* This panel is an outcome of a broader research project on digital infrastructure governance, supported by the Internet Society Foundation. As WSIS+20 approaches, we focus on the growing significance of LEO satellite systems as critical Internet infrastructure and explore their potential for advancing the vision of the Tunis Agenda. We also invite you to read and engage with our *input paper* *“*Advancing Low Earth Orbit Satellite Internet Infrastructure <https://www.cyber.uni.lodz.pl/fileadmin/LODZ_CYBER_HUB/SSIGIL/WSIS20_SSIGIL…>", a product of the *Summer School on Internet Governance, Infrastructure and Law (SSIGIL) <https://www.cyber.uni.lodz.pl/en/ssigil>*. This document offers practical, research-based recommendations to help ensure digital infrastructure supports sustainable development, protects human rights, and fits within clear legal frameworks. *Your comments, questions, and critical reflections are most welcome—either in advance or during the symposium discussion.* We hope you will join us for this timely dialogue on the future of the WSIS process and the role of inclusive, multistakeholder Internet governance in navigating the challenges of rapidly evolving digital infrastructure. -- Kind regards, Joanna Kulesza ------------------- Joanna Kulesza, PhD Professor of International Law Lodz Cyber Hub / University of Lodz Law School / Poland www.cyber.uni.lodz.pl (EURALO ALS 341) ALAC / EURALO / ALAC Liaison to the GAC

ICANN bows to Trump
by Lutz Donnerhacke May 29, 2025

May 29, 2025

https://domainincite.com/31049-icann-kills-off-diversity-and-inclusion It's a pity. ICANN establishes the trust in its function of govern the global rules for the Internet by representing the whole community of all stakeholders. By dropping the representation, ICANN could lose its standing, and eventually lose the trust in the rules generated. This is the way into meaninglessness. Lutz

SSAC has published SAC127: DNS Blocking Revisited
by Matthias M. Hudobnik May 24, 2025

May 24, 2025

Hi colleagues, the SSAC has published SAC127. ### SSAC has published SAC127: DNS Blocking Revisited: What Is DNS and DNS Blocking? · The Domain Name System (DNS) translates human-readable domain names (e.g., example.com) into IP addresses that computers use to communicate. · DNS blocking is a technique to restrict access to online content by interfering with DNS queries. This can involve: o Pretending a domain doesn't exist. o Providing false IP addresses. Why DNS Blocking Is Used · Often implemented because it’s technically simple and low-cost. · Commonly used by governments and organizations for: o Public safety (e.g., blocking illegal content). o Censorship or regulation of online resources. How DNS Blocking Works · By altering the behavior of recursive resolvers (DNS servers that respond to user queries). · DNS blocking modifies the translation of a domain name into an IP address, effectively preventing access via DNS. Effectiveness and Limitations · Blocking only works if users rely on the DNS infrastructure where the block is applied. · It can be bypassed through: o Alternative DNS resolvers. o VPNs or other routing methods. · Important: DNS blocking does not remove the content—only access through DNS is affected. Potential Side Effects · Collateral damage: Can impact unrelated services or domains. · Cross-border effects: May unintentionally affect users outside the blocking jurisdiction. · User confusion: May appear as a technical error, leading to risky behavior. · Legal ambiguity: Laws vary; determining whether DNS blocking is lawful or constitutes censorship depends on local context. SSAC Recommendations Recommendation 1 · Any entity implementing DNS blocking should fully understand its technical and policy implications. Recommendation 2 · Entities implementing DNS blocking (governments, ISPs, organizations) should follow these principles: o A. Clear Objectives: Ensure DNS blocking aligns with intended goals. o B. Defined Policy: Maintain transparent, reviewed processes for deciding what to block. o C. Minimize Damage: Use methods that avoid overblocking or harming unrelated users. o D. Respect Boundaries: Do not affect users or networks outside your administrative control. Recommendation 3 · Recursive DNS server operators should use Extended DNS Error (EDE) codes to inform users when DNS blocking is active and aid troubleshooting. This report updates previous SSAC advisories (SAC050 and SAC056 from 2011–2012) to reflect changes in technology and growing use cases for DNS blocking. Link to the report: https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/security-and-stability-advisory-committe…. Have a nice day! Best, Matthias ______________________________ Ing. Mag. Matthias M.
