Hi people

My participation here (both ways) have gone down.. but since I have been
around from Day 0 of each of these, I can share some thoughts.

   1. IGC, the parent list underwent tough building processes. The
   "democratic" legacy of IGC is important  when/if merging.
   2. One of the reasons BB came to be was that IGC, at a certain point got
   too "talky, trashy and winding", in my opinion. Nothing was getting done
   and insults were freely served.
   3. BB also came from a certain convening of Civil society actors during
   an IGF. It therefore became the "Action-oriented" network of CS  people
   around IGF.
   4. Over the years, though.. IGC has calmed down and BB has tired out.

Beyond fusion/merger/marriage of both lists, is the greater question of how
the non-government and non-industry actors engage in the internet/digital
development landscape. A whole lot  has changed, challenges have changed,
and working methods may need to change if new objectives are to  be
achieved.

Just as a reminder, this is NOT the first time that a merger idea has
come.

I have attached two screenshots.

Happy New Year.

While the 'Internet Model' did not originate multistakeholder processes, it
has become the defining example of their success, leading to their
increasing acceptance in many areas of policy development. In this session
Larry Strickling, assisted by some other old hands including Andrew
Sullivan and Marten Botterman, defines the basics.

I fully agree with Miton and Ken. We have to put the reset button. It
needs a re-start for a "nrew IGC". WSIS+20 (2025) is on the horizon. IGC
is an established "brand" in the WSIS process as the main cordiantor for
civil Society activities in the IG space.

I am feeling very old reading these messages ;-)
 
To me it is obvious that IGC, BB and CSGC are all outgrowths of WSIS
civil society, which started around 2001. What became IGC started as the
mailing list of WSIS civil society. 
 
Why not consider the merged or combined entity to be the “new” IGC? BB
barely exists anymore, and it emerged as an outgrowth of IGC in reality.
There is no need to turn our back on the long history of WSIS civil
society while at the same time reorganizing in a way that recognizes the
contribution of BB and makes us more effective.
 
What should be clear to everyone is that the current arrangement is no
longer effective and something needs to be changed. 
 
I also believe that the current structure of CSCG is an arbitrary
historical artifact and should not constrain what we do now. I do agree
with Bruna, however, that restructuring CSGC representation should be
step two. Let’s get IGC’s house in order first.

Subject: Re: [governance] IMPORTANT : Merging IGC with Best Bits


 
Dear All, 
 

Thanks Arsène for kicking off the discussion here on IGC. 

 

When the merger discussion was brought up, some of the attendees agreed
that the "The historical moment that required the separation of IGC and
Best bits is long gone and that the merger would be interesting due to
the limited volunteering time and resources available for managing both
groups". Therefore, while I dont yet have a personal opinion with
regards to the merger, I believe that it could result in a stronger and
(even) more active CS caucus/coordination group. 

I guess it is safe to say that we all acknowledge the importance of both
groups, as well as their legacy. And with IGC being the first Civil
Society gatherings having started back in 2003 (in the early stages of
the WSIS process) I would not be pleased with a merger that did not bear
in mind the importance of the statements issued in the past or even the
importance of groups such as ours in strengthening Civil Society
participation. 

 

At the same time, we have to consider that this list is no longer as
active as it once was and that our website is no longer functional and
some other things that were lost in the transition. So the merger
suggestion comes in light of the future discussions and coordinations
that could be generated within a joint/stronger group. 

 

Having said that, I agree that we could come up with a draft merger
proposal, as suggested by @Nadira Araj. If we agree on this new groupsteering committee while Best Bits has only two co-coordinators - and a
new institutional mandate. With regards to the CSCG, Best Bits and IGC
are 2 of the 5 CS groups represented there, but Id say that the CSCG
composition and the discussions about representation there should be
discussed in a second moment. 

 

But I would also like to hear more from the list on this subject. 

 

Best regards, 

Bruna Santos

Thanks Arsene for sharing your thought. I could not attend the call
because of my engagement during the ecommerce week in Nairobi. 
 

I would say that we don't rush into this merging of IGC and Bestbit
without first clarifying questions such as the purpose of existence and
whether the merging will translate automatically to the group active
participation. It would be good to conduct an assessment that will lead
to a reliable recommendations.

 

With that in mind, how would that affect the structure of CSCG and
expanding it scope to accommodate more civil society organization.

 

Regards

Peter.

 

Regards.

Hi everyone,

You have probably seen this already on a different thread but thought
it well to have this discussion solely on the IGC list (as I expect
Best Bits to do the same), that's why i started this thread hoping to
hear from you on this important question.

This need for merging was raised by some IGC members during a civil
society call that had mostly IGC and Best Bits participants; many of
whom are both IGC and Best Bits (BB) members. The call happened last
week and Farzaneh offered to share the link to the recording.

I will not go into much details about the rationale but would welcome
anyone to weigh in and share their reasoning on whether or not we
should merge both lists. We will need to also answer the question on
how (who is doing what?) will this happen? Is the IGC going to become
BB or the latter becoming IGC? Or are we working towards a different
group where members of both groups will all be added?

This brings back to my memory the whole hassle we had to migrate
(SAVE?) this list and allow us to have this discussion list (which
hasn't been quite active for a few months but where many feel safe to
share IG related updates). So i hope we discuss and take into account
the technical cost of the merging process (should it happen).

I am also not sure how we will gauge consensus about this question on
this list? Should we vote? How long do we take to decide? Should we
consult IGC 'founders' or former Co-coordinators separately and ask
them what they think?

During the call, Bruna and I offered to have a decision by mid-January
and we hope this is realistic given the holiday season. We will then
report to the group.

I just wanted to throw this all here and would REALLY appreciate a
discussion that will help us move forward and come to a conclusion.

Best regards,
Arsene

Dear all

https://www.apc.org/en/news/internet-shutdowns-africa-it-being-cut-world

This story was pulled together by Leila Nachawati with the input from
alumni of the African School on Internet Governance. The last few weeks
in Africa have seen a spate of internet and mobile network shutdowns..
still ongoing in Zimbabwe, and DRC.

What I like about this story is that it gives one a sense of what it
feels like to be forcibly disconnected.

Anriette, it is just sad how our leaders treat us the way they are treating
us. They just dont think about the populace, once they and their
families and cronies are satisfied, they see other as nothing.

We need to as a mater of urgency strengthen the grassroots stand-up to the
oppressors who dont want anything good for the continent.

Message-ID: <CADirp9QAgUs8hA7heLHvSnERiE8_i6j=nxym6mF1PeQQ0f-eMg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone!

I've worked on creating a data protection course - GDPR for citizens - for
the last year and I'd like to invite you all good folks to join our course
@ https://digirights.info. The project has been funded by ISOC and the
Finnish Foreign Ministry. It takes about seven hours to go through the
whole material, but of course, it might take you up to 1-3months to get a
reply for your Subject Access Request.

Not only does this course teach people their rights and how to exercise
them, but we also collect feedback on the SARs, to better analyse, which
companies are not complying with the GDPR and what kinds of difficulties
people have in completing their data requests and in receiving their
personal data, that they requested for. There are also weekly webinars to
help guide people to go through the course. These take place on Tuesdays at
16 UTC, at this address: https://livestream.com/internetsociety2/digirights.

If you'd like to help us getting some exposure on this free course, please
re-tweet: https://twitter.com/Digirightsinfo/status/1088793245931524097

Thank you for your attention, and apologies for cross-posting,

-Raoul

P.S. The course is also available in Finnish, at https://digioikeudet.info

 Davos - Statement against
Message-ID: <dee78927-addb-0915-e1d3-d8d6e08df1a8@itforchange.net>

Hi All

Wishing you all a great 2019!

It is expected that plurilateral negotiations on e-commerce will be
launched at the World Economic Forum's Davos annual meeting last week of
Jan 2019, bypassing the WTO. The African groupandIndia had blocked
attempts at launching ecom negotiations at the WTO Buenos Aires
ministerial in Dec 2017 ... We have prepared the enclosed and below
statement for sign ons. It highlights what is contained in the proposed
rules, what are the proponents' true motives, why some developing
countries get deceived, and why these rules should be stopped.

Pl follow the instructions on the statement for endorsement...An email
to be me would work as well....

best, parminder


*Statement de**veloped by *_*Just Net Coalition*
<https://justnetcoalition.org/>_


*E-commerce negotiations being launched at the WEF *

*are really about rules for digital colonisation*


*A call to the people and governments of the world to oppose
legitimisation of*

*the new land grab of people’s, communities’, and nations’ data *


World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Davos meeting in January, 2019, is expected
to witness the launch of plurilateral negotiations on global e-commerce
rules, bypassing the WTO. Dominant digital interests – global digital
business and governments supporting it – plan the proposed rules to be a
blue-print for a whole new global digital order.


*A new digital social contract*

Agrarian-feudal economic and social relationships centred on land
ownership, and industrial age ones on ownership of industrial and later
intellectual capital. In the digital age, these relationships will
revolve around ownership of data and the resultant artificial
intelligence.^^1 The proposed e-commerce rules^^2 mandate unrestrained
global flow of data – the primary resource of the digital society. This
in essence means that data will be the property of whoever collects and
hoards it. It provides an, in perpetuity, legitimacy to global data
land-grabs by a few digital corporations such as Facebook, Google,
Amazon, Alibaba, etc.


These rules would insulate global digital corporations from national
regulation by disallowing any requirement for their ‘local presence’ in
the domestic territory, and inspection of their software and algorithms.
Digital inter-connections, payments, authentication, cyber-security,
etc, get mostly subject to global private law – under pro- big business
arbitration – further curtailing the remit of domestic jurisdictions
over global digital interactions. Prohibition against any
border-crossing tax on commercial digital transactions would, in turn,
debilitate the nation state’s finances in the digital era.


Digital economy is not just a sector. It pervades and increasingly
transforms all sectors – like the industrial society/economy paradigm
did before it. As every sector and activity becomes digital, and infused
with artificial intelligence, this proposed political economy and
private governance framework for the digital will dominate all aspects
of societies. It will increasingly upend the social contract that
underlies the nation-state based mixed economy and welfarism for the
last many decades.


Digital opportunities, many believe, can bring unprecedented prosperity
for all. But for this, digital governance must be based on principles of
social justice and equity within and across societies. This is required
even more in this formative period of the digital society. Quite the
opposite is sought, however, through rules for global usurpation of the
most valuable digital resource, and hamstringing national regulation. A
few powerful businesses and governments plan to digitally control all
social activities and economic sectors across the world. The omnipresent
tentacles of the Internet, globally extracting granular data about every
person and thing, underpin these new controls.


*The e-commerce chimera*

The biggest bluff of global e-commerce rules is how they get sold in the
name of helping micro, small and medium enterprises in developing
countries. So apparently, the new messiahs of small enterprises in
developing countries are going to be a few US based global digital
corporations, that _monopolise e-commerce
<https://digitalcommons.law.yale.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=https://www.google.com/&httpsredir=1&article=5785&context=ylj>_to
_take up to 40 percent commissions
<https://brandequity.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/business-of-brands/fashion-e-tailers-shell-out-30-40-margin-to-e-commerce-platforms/49057016>_,
_abuse sellers’ and manufacturers’ data
<https://www.seattletimes.com/business/eu-investigates-amazons-collection-of-data-on-marketplace-rivals/>_to
manipulate them and/or replace their products by in-house ones, are
_most arbitrary and exploitative
<https://www.cnbc.com/2018/11/29/amazon-investigated-by-the-german-antitrust-authority.html>_in
their relationships with sellers/producers, and beyond national
regulations to impose any fairness on their activities!


Some developing country leaders get led to believe that global
e-commerce simply represents a great expansion of the marketplace,
opening more market opportunities for their struggling businesses. For
one, expanded and more open markets are not necessarily better for their
small businesses, an overwhelming majority of which deal in goods that
are easily out-priced by global mass manufacturing centres like in
China. The latter can now so much more readily penetrate even the
remotest local markets. These leaders that are enthusiastic about global
e-commerce perhaps need to first list the actual goods that their
domestic businesses produce in a globally competitive manner! Artisan
and other cultural goods tend to form the staple of the ‘global
e-commerce for development’ rhetoric, but they constitute an extremely
small part of any economy.


Digitalisation can enhance efficiencies in every economic activity and
layer of the economy. It is NOT digital efficiencies in the global trade
layer that will bring the most immediate benefits to developing
countries. It will simply expose their vulnerable economies and markets
to endless exploitation. Developing countries need to first digitalise
their domestic production processes, to produce globally valuable
products cheaply. They must focus on developing domestic digital
platforms. In short, they need to undertake digital industrialisation
before they can benefit from global digital trade. To the extent that
trade across borders also can stimulate industrialisation, and scale
being important for the digital economy, _developing countries should
first collaborate
<https://unctad.org/en/pages/PublicationWebflyer.aspx?publicationid=2099>_among
those with comparable digital development.


The founder of e-commerce giant Alibaba, Jack Ma, himself considers
_e-commerce to be an outdated concept
<https://www.cw.com.hk/cloud/alibaba-s-jack-ma-e-commerce-will-vanish-soon>_.
This clearly underlines the fallacy of seeing e-commerce primarily as
digitally-expanded marketplaces. What global digital platforms really do
is to re-organise every sector employing data-based digital
intelligence, and then control them in a monopolistic manner. Such
controls tend to be very one-sided and highly exploitative, with deep
lock-ins. This situation demands new kinds of digital regulation, and
national frameworks mandating local ownership of data for nurturing
domestic digital businesses. The proposed e-commerce rules pre-empt all
such possibilities, which shows how their proponents know their game
well into the future.


Developing countries cannot simply hope that the benefits of their local
producers getting new markets through global e-commerce will somehow
outweigh the disadvantages of cheap products from mass manufacturing
centres inundating their domestic markets. They would be equally
misplaced to expect that global e-commerce rules will help the
flourishing of their domestic digital platforms, where they already
exist. The latter face quick annihilation as soon as global digital
majors cast their eyes on the corresponding markets. India, which has
been a little ahead of the curve among developing countries (other than
China), has already seen its _major digital platform companies unionise
<https://qz.com/india/1115030/indiatech-org-from-flipkarts-sachin-bansal-to-ola-indias-homegrown-internet-startups-are-ganging-up-against-foreign-rivals/>_and
seek government protection against global _‘capital dumping’
<https://www.livemint.com/Companies/zvwvmpnpkOnUrXFXGpK88M/Flipkarts-Sachin-Bansal-cites-selective-globalisation-seek.html>_.



A reality check is needed for the chimera of ‘global e-commerce for
development’ created by digital superpowers, with the support of some
donor and international agencies.


*Resist digital colonialism*

Global business leaders from the South – like _Bob van Dijk, CEO of
Naspers
<https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/small-biz/startups/newsbuzz/india-should-never-be-a-digital-colony-like-europe-naspers-ceo-bob-van-dijk/articleshow/63074511.cms>_,
Africa’s biggest company; _Anil Ambani, head of India’s largest business
house
<https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/company/corporate-trends/mukesh-ambani-says-data-colonisation-as-bad-as-physical-colonisation/articleshow/67164810.cms>__;_and
_Nandan Nilekani, Chairman of India’s top IT company
<https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/info-tech/nilekani-voices-concern-over-data-colonisation-by-global-tech-giants/article9807722.ece>_–
have been warning against data and digital colonisation. Traders’ groups
in many developing countries are holding protests, and local digital
businesses are complaining, as they face being captured or wiped out by
global digital corporations.


Some developing country leaders, however, remain blinded by the lure of
sitting at the high table with global digital business leaders, this
time at the snow-white Davos. They keep hoping that these business
leaders will somehow magically usher in the appropriate digital economy/
society in their countries.


It would be useful to understand the future that dominant digital
interests have in mind through the proposed e-commerce rules. Data flows
unchecked from all countries to a very few global digital corporations,
mostly in the US and some in China. Such expansive and minute data
enables them to develop thorough real time digital intelligence about
every sector and every single economic activity and actor. It would be
as if the ‘brains’ of all physical activities and processes in all other
countries are ‘outsourced’ to these few corporations. A complete
cognitive lock-in and digital intelligence dependency soon sets the
conditions for total economic and social domination. As it gets
entrenched, future options for developing countries to ever extricate
themselves also get foreclosed. In any case, as explained earlier, the
proposed rules simultaneously de-fang key levers of national digital
regulation, render digital relationships subject to global private law,
and considerably squeeze the taxation base of the state.


The choice of the Mecca of global business, WEF, for launching this
potent new framework for domination of the world by a few digital
corporations indeed rings of poetic appropriateness!


We, the undersigned, call upon the people and the governments of the
world to oppose this blatant attempt at a new elitist digital social
contract which is nothing but one between the digital masters and the
rest of us, laying out the rules of our digital servitude for all times
to come.


Let us claim our data, and our digital future, for ourselves!

I have discovered Richard Hill's slides, not in the original stream, and
edited them into his video.

However, it is still rendering. So that will be briefly delayed, and go out
at 8pm EST, 01:00 UTC.

What I was blissfully ignorant of while streaming this was that ISOC North
America had released the INDIGINET2018 report just two days before.

It's a great read!
