Analía Aspis

   1.

   Short  bio of one paragraph

I am a Argentinean woman and lawyer (36) who have been working for the past
years in the IT law and political field, both in research on the field of
Privacy, International Law and Internet Governance and well as Research
Group Projects at the University of Buenos Aires in the field of
Surveillance, IT Law and Human Rights evaluating and monitoring the current
agenda and well as the international forums related to Internet Governance.
Accordingly, Not only I have obtained several support for the Argentinean,
Swiss and Swedish governments to pursue her studies and doctoral research
but as well I has return all that support and knowledge to my country. I
holds one of the best grades in the University of Buenos Aires, as well as
an MBA in Switzerland (University of  Lausanne) and research work  in
Sweden (University of Stockholm – Center for Law and Informatics). I am as
well a specialist in Internet Governance and International and Humanitarian
Law and is one of the few professionals in Argentina you is deeply
committed to built a strong network within the academia as well as with
students to promote the human rights and the use of the technology. I am
author of different articles and chapters related to technology, politics
and law. Finally, I am a member of the Global Internet Governance Academic
Network, ITU working group on Aviation Applications of Cloud Computing for
Flight Data Monitoring, and I was recently accepted as a member of the
Advisory group of the Global Internet Policy Observatory.

2.  My motivation to be a civil society representative to the WG

I am an academic with a strong calling for civil society. Accordingly, I am
a consultant and I active participant on multistakeholder dialogue on
Internet Governance. I do consider that my professional and academic
profile gives an unique point of view of both the regulatory and political
aspect of technology for understand the role that CS should represent and
how to enhance its participation. Every time I did have the opportunity to
contribute to CS within the UN system, I made my best to strengthen its
influence in the international agenda (ITU, UNCTAD, WSIS+10, NCUC ).I
consider I have always shown an early concern in alternatives solutions to
nowadays problems between technology and law, being always my aim to join
forces and to collaborate in both educational and social problems that this
field involved. As a Latin American citizen I think I can offer a
comprehensive point of view of  the issues, contribute to the understanding
 of the different backgrounds and situations. Moreover, I do consider the
research as a unique opportunity to enhance civil society dialogue and to
start an active network worldwide. I am more than convinced that I do have
has both the intellectual and professional capacity to promote and
subscribe Tunes Agenda enhanced cooperation. Finally, for a personal point
of view I consider myself  as a very responsible, enthusiastic, proactive
and team-worker person, always being very positive and compromise with each
task and challenge in my life.

3. Substantive proposals or a vision on “how to further implement enhanced
cooperation as envisioned in the Tunis Agenda”

From my perspective, 3 main themes should develop coordinations and
policies: children, literacy and security, encouraging the participation as
many stakeholders as possible from a wide range of fields without
interfering growth and development of the Internet. I do strongly believe
that recommendations with regard human rights and cybersecurity should be
taken into consideration in order to prevent the interruption of the
advanced use of the Internet by ensuring the free flow of information and
establishing an environment for the safe utilization and application of ICT
through international cooperation. The governance of Internet should be
improved and democratized  at  all  levels,  therefore  its  implementation
 is  continuous,  and  needs  to  be  evaluated on an ongoing basis
throughout the Internet governance ecosystem. A more concrete and
accessible database with Internet Goverance information and policies should
be open to citizen and CS organizations should be trained, both with legal
and technical training, on the core issues that are discussed, so as to
enhance its level of knowledge and participation.

4. My experience or qualifications to represent civil society on the WG.

I am the co-coordinator of the Internet Governance Caucus, which convokes
individual and organizational civil society actors who came together in the
context of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) to promote
global public interest objectives in Internet governance policy making. As
an academic and civil society participant, I have a full understanding of
civil society role within the digital diplomacy context as well as a deep
commitment to develop policies and programs to enhance CS participation and
influence on international relationships.  Moreover, I am a group member of
the WG on Internet Security and Human Rights in the Freedom Online
Coalition, where I have been working closely with a multistakeholder group
(including the government of United States of America, Canada and The
Netherlands) focusing our effort in enhancing human rights protection
 within online activities as well as an active participant of the Civil
Society pre-conference and training on capacity building at The Hague.

In Argentina, I am the founder of the Argentinean Hub of Internet
Governance, a group who seeks to promote discussion and information on IG
issues form a Latin-American point of view and the Argentinean Legal
Hackers chapter, a group that combines both technical and legal expertise
to seek solutions for Internet’s current challenges. In this sense, I do
strongly promote online training and international conferences remote
participation by different channels I have created. I have been involved in
many advocacy activities. To mention a few I have been member (twice) of
the Member of the Stakeholder Selection Committee to choose potential
speakers from non-governmental organizations for the High-level Meeting on
the overall review of the implementation of the outcomes of the World
Summit on the Information Society (WSIS +10). I have also implemented many
hubs for CS to follow remote participation in internacionals events
(WSIS+10, ICANN, Eurodig, IGF)
