It would be interesting to know if the European laws on
counterfeiting would apply here... under that silly (patent holder
biased) law a mere complaint can result in seizing of shipments
(even World Health Organisation approved medicines were seized,
resulting in morbidity)... and leaves it to the shipper to prove the
merits of the case (there is often not a right of being heard before
the seizure - even that basic right when it comes to Intel Prop was
dispensed with in Europe...) <br>
<br>
so perhaps from an Intel Property angle, the rich countries ought to
be a subject of inquiry as they are the "leaders" on the Intel Prop
sphere (pursuing the TPP which is SOPA and ACTA on steriods... by
some accounts)....<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">This is a very
interesting thread, as we have been doing a lot of work
helping to setup IXPs in countries, and for one project we
were working on in an Arab country it seemed that this
principle was not commonly accepted with respect to hosted
traffic. In other words, no one worried about traffic that
was transiting the country, by terrestrial or submarine
cables, but content providers questioned what would happen
if that traffic was going to be hosted in a country where it
was illegal, even if it was not meant for consumption in
that country. I guess to extend the Sea metaphor this is
like shipping something that is legal in the source and
destination country, but not in a country where the
container may be offloaded to move to a new ship. Is it
illegally in that third country? The equivalent that was
cited to us was that it was legal to transport alcohol
across some countries where it was illegal, as long as the
truck was sealed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

is whether this principle of non-tampering with transit

it was hosted. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Just a brief comment on the issue of
"transit traffic". This is an interesting component to
explore. As I have often said, I believe that Egypt acted in
reference to an implicit emerging international principle of
"<b>non-tampering with transit traffic</b>" when it blocked
access to the Internet during the Arab Spring but did not
impact the transit traffic serving the easter coast of
Africa. <o:p></o:p></p>

<b>Asunto:</b> Re: [governance]

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Well, we have
innovation! With the IGF in Bali, and
ICANN on a cruise ship, we may have
'beach or floating governance'. Internet
governance could be fun!<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
I like the metaphor of the ship since
it implies our common destiny. We are
all passengers of ICANNia or ITUnia
or...<b>?</b> Metaphors are also
useful to remove our tunnel vision and
make us think more creatively. In
another metaphor, I hope that
Internetistan will resist Absurdistan
(<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://diplo.smugmug.com/ILLUSTRATIONS/Posters-1/4464706_T4FW6r#%21i=1104113260&k=2GsD8hV&lb=1&s=A"
target="_blank">here is the map of
this fast-growing country</a>).
<br>
<br>
But back to the current reality.
Unfortunately, the ICANN cruise ship
won't solve the problem of
internationalisation. 'Open sea'
refers only to freedom of navigation.
It does not deal with the status of
the ship. All relations on the ship
are regulated by the national law of
the ship's flag. ICANNia has to be
registered somewhere. One solution
could be a flag of convenience such as
Liberia or Panama. What happens on
the ICANNia is regulated by national
law, with no major differences from
any other land-based entity (company,
organisation). Yes, ICANNia can sail
in whatever direction it wants to
sail, but the decision must be made by
the captain according to the rules of
the flag's state. Extrapolating from
the role of the captain on the ship,
the ICANNia would look like military
unit. The cruise ship metaphor gets
even more interesting when we
consider different classes of cabins,
rescue operations, etc.<br>
<br>
These thoughts have taken me back to
Hugo Grotius's book <i>Mare Liberum</i>
that established the "open sea"
concept four centuries ago as opposed
to the idea of a
<i>Mare Nostrum</i>. <b><span
style="color:#CC0000"> </span></b>His
relevance for our time is sobering. If
we replace 'sea' with 'Internet' we
could have the next book on the
Internet. Grotius was a very
interesting personality.<b><span
style="color:#CC0000"> </span></b>
Besides being one of the first
international lawyers, he was one of
the founders of the 'natural law'
school of thought. In addition, he
wrote a lot about social contract
(before Rousseau, Locke, and others).
As a matter of fact, his social
contract theory could be applicable to
the Internet. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">When it
comes to the concept of open sea,
Grotius had an interesting interplay
with the political masters of his era.
He believed in open sea, but Dutch and
British authorities quickly realised the
usefulness of his doctrine. They had the
biggest fleets and had ambitions to
develop trade and colonial empires.
Grotius provided them with the necessary
doctrine or 'political software'.
However, Grotius always argued that
'open sea' needs rules and principles in
order to be 'open'. Although it was
counter-intuitive to the leaders of two
growing maritime powers, he managed to
convince them that it was in their best
interest to 'tame' their comparative
powers and ensure the sustainability of
their empires beyond the 17th century.
Everything else has written the history,
which proved Grotius right. We can draw
many parallels, with the necessary
caution that historical analogies should
be handled with care.
<br>
<br>
While we are waiting for a new Grotius
(or Godot), we should review how we
debate Internet governance issues.
Grotius was a great scholar who mastered
the existing rules before he started
changing them. We, on the other hand,
use well-defined and developed concepts
in a relaxed way. A few examples...<br>
<br>
As we saw, the frequently used metaphor
of the open sea does not translate to an
open Internet. In many respects, it can
lead in the opposite direction (Internet
Nostrum).
<br>
<br>
Another example is the role of states'
responsibility in the Internet era. This
is a well-defined concept in
international law. If we want states to
be responsible for whatever is
originating in their territories (e.g.
cyber-attacks, botnets), we have to
give them the tools to ensure their
responsibility (mainly state control,
regulation, and surveillance). Most
writings on state responsibility start
from the opposite assumption, i.e. the
limited role of the state. With all the
creativity and imagination in the world,
we still cannot have it both ways. <br>
<br>
The most topical example of the need for
evidence-based policy is the case of the
Red Cross name/emblem at ICANN. There
are very clear rules for the protection
of the Red Cross name/emblem that were
adopted some 100 years ago and have been
followed, without reservation, on
national and international levels.
ICANN was right in protecting the Red
Cross name but made the mistake of
putting it together with organisations
that do not enjoy the same status (the
International Olympic Committee).
<br>
<br>
Even if we want to change the rules in
order to adjust to the specificities of
the Internet era (if any), we have first
to master them. I see here an important
role for academic and civil society
communities. If we had advised ICANN to
evaluate the Red Cross and IOC
submissions separately, we could have
avoided a lot of policy confusion and
wasted time.
<br>
<br>
The GIGANET might consider the
evidence-based policy research as the
key theme for the next meeting?<br>
