[governance] IGF Workshop session #107 - Internet blocking: When well intentioned measures go too far

[Robert Guerra]

Dear all,

Paul Vixie and I are co-organizing ICANN SSAC’s workshop session #107 on an aspect of Internet Blocking that, IMHO, hasn’t received the attention it has needed. That being the unfortunate, at times large scale blocking that can occur by third parties/ intermediaries. Two recent examples - SpamHouse’s block of Sweden recently & Microsoft’s seizure of No-IP’s domain names . The later getting a lot of attention by experts and NGO’s such as EFF - https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2014/07/microsoft-and-noip-what-were-they-thinking

The session is being run as an facilitated dialogue - with short opening comments, and then a conversation with the panelists and those attending the session.

To help inform the conversation, Paul, myself and others members of the SSAC have developed a discussion paper for the workshop. The document can be found at the following URL - http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/wks2014/uploads/proposal_background_paper/2014-ssac-igf-briefing-paper1.pdf

Look forward to having those interested join us Wed. Sept 3rd at 11am in Workshop Room 07 (Rumeli Terrace / Halic)

regards,

Robert
