<div>Thanks for sharing that paper Diego – you raise some interesting and
important points.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My own personal approach to this is cyber-quaker - all cyberwarfare is
immoral. However I appreciate and support interventions like those of the Red
Cross that suggest we try to at least stem the worst of behaviours in this sea
of immorality, and create some rules. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Tallinn falls a long way short because it doesnt understand
cyber-infrastructure and its inter-connectedness. Lots of other reasons too, and
as Parminder points out this is the powerful voices and many more are not being
heard or considered. Not sure of the way forward here, but the Tallinn approach
involves significant human rights issues as you say.. </div>

<div>I would like to share a paper which is be presented at the MPSA Annual
Convention. We aim at evaluating three widespread claims surrounding
cyberwarfare. And we briefly evaluate the case of Brazil. As it is a draft
paper, please, feel free to add to that as much as you deem necessary. (paper
attached) Intellectual production on the field is either overwhelmingly carried
by (or performed in replication of) reports of governmental and
intergovernmental agencies. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Maybe the greatest task for civil society is to push a qualitative
discussion of the issue of agency on cyberspace, as well as of the real scope of
different sorts of activities. Technically and politically speaking.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Despite of my strong disagreement with great part of the Tallin Report (and
with NATO approach as a whole), it is really important to have such discussions
conducted in an open manner. Specially because some of the tenets of
cybersecurity orthodoxy endanger loads of fundamental rights. </div>

<div>If civil society can speak knowledgeably in this area, its inputs would
be welcomed in a multitude of fora engaged on this issue. I have not,
unfortunately, seen much of that on this list at any rate.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>To answer Ian's comment, there is a distressing trend in more than one
nation to use non state actors (including criminal botmasters) to carry out
ddos attacks and break into foreign networks for espionage, this is more
or less similar to other nations using jehadis and mujahideen to carry out
attacks that would be politically and strategically infeasible for their armed
forces to carry out.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So while some of the models could do with an update, it is absolutely
essential that this practice be internationally recognized as
unacceptable.<br><br>--srs (iPad)</div>

combatants wearing uniforms to distinguish themselves from civilians. And

dont claim to be more knowledgeable, but from the little I know how
political affairs get conducted: it is best to have larger, more open
discussions on such issues, where the less powerful countries are also
involved. While some were always more equal then others, the trend has
worsened in the IG space, where it is also almost normatively accepted that
it is ok that the game be played among the biggies. Civil society normally
plays the normative and democracy-seeking role, and expanding global
governance spaces to include smaller countries equally, but regrettably, not
in the IG space.<br><br>Secondly, and there have been some strange comments
in this regard as late as in the last few day - lets understand and accept
that Internet governance is not about some rather insignificant issue of
CIRs management, it is about so many much bigger issues, very central to the
future of our societies. Again, civil society has a big role in defining
this larger issue-scape rather than digging our collective head in the CIR
sands, becuase it gives us a very good and saleable slogan of
'mutistakeholderism is sought to be replaced by UN inter-gov-ism'. And the
most powerful countires want us to keep using this slogan exclusively and do
nothing else. In all other IG areas, the strong control of Northern
governments on how our future is evolving is so very clear that is does not
admit to 'MSism being replaced by UNism" slogan, and thus civil society
should be kept away from grasping and taking up these more important other
IG issues. <br><br><br>parminder <br>
