So sorry for sending this this late. A tropical cyclone (typhoon)
messed the whole
event and now we had to collapse 2-day meeting into 1-day.

Here is the latest program.

Introduction to the IGF (09:00～10:00)

Triggered by the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in
2003, Internet Governance has been debated by the international
community. We will hear reports from IGF participants about the
background of the IGF, and updates from the 2010 meeting held in
Lithuania in September this year.

Illegal and Harmful Information and the Confidentiality of
Communication (10:00～11:00)
While the Internet provides many benefits and convenience to the
society, it also provides harmful and illegal information, and can
pose threats for young people. On the one had, the public is calling
for effective measures to counter illegal and harmful information,
while on the other they are also expressing concern for the potential
chilling effects any restrictions may have on freedom of expression
and citizens’ right to access information; both rights guaranteed by
the Japanese Constitution. Discussions will examine specific issues
with comprehensive overview of the present, and the way for the
future.

services? Reports on cloud computing issues will be presented by

Discussions will focus on:
	The governance of cloud computing where data are globally
distributed, addressing the trans-border protection of rights across
different jurisdictions with differing legal frameworks.
	Is the existing DNS sufficient to handle cloud computing when its
architecture is developed independently from the network architecture?
Are supplemental mechanisms needed for the DNS?
	Will URL filtering being designed in Japan work for monitoring the
flow of contents when HTML5 becomes widely deployed?
	What level of performance is required for the network infrastructure
to cope with the development of cloud computing? How to ensure the
adequate level of communication performance while restricting the flow
of information network-wide to deal with various societal issues?
	Is the combination of Tablet and Cloud enough to address all the
needs of consumers, and what are the drawbacks with them?
