From 6.internet at gmail.com Sun Nov 1 07:53:18 2020 From: 6.internet at gmail.com (sivasubramanian muthusamy) Date: Sun, 1 Nov 2020 18:23:18 +0530 Subject: [Governance] Pre-event tomorrow, Monday, 6.00 UTC at Room 3 on possibly factored Stakeholder Balance Message-ID: Hello All, IGF pre-event scheduled to take place on Day 1, Monday, November 2, 6.00 - 7.00 UTC at Room III: Stakeholder Balance: Do we need factored balance, factored differently between one Governance topic and another?" This would be an exploratory discussion, but could possibly gain clarity from the session: https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2020-pre-event-42-stakeholder-balance-do-we-need-factored-balance-factored-differently which would examine the questions: I*n Internet Governance, Stakeholder balance has always been conceptually thought of and championed as uniform stakeholder balance, be it in policies and programs related to Privacy, Security, Trust, Capacity Building etc. The stakeholders experienced certain difficulties in reaching the required level of understanding concerning stakeholder balance, for instance, in the area of Security, as Security has some sort of essential affinity with Secrecy. Likewise, it might be conceptually unnecessary to include a proportionate number of business stakeholders in the area of Capacity Building. The question placed on the table is: Do we need an unvarying proportion of a standard mix of stakeholders for every policy area? Is it wise to suit the stakeholder balance for exceptional policy areas? For instance, more than proportionate participants from the Academic Community in matters related to Capacity Building or more than proportionate Government stakeholder participation in matters related to Security? These are the questions, the Day0 event is proposed to place these questions for perspectives, with a view to get past hitherto inevitable hurdles to the progress of the multistakeholder model, and to ensure a fair balance of stakeholders in overall Internet Governance, which might also pave way for stakeholders to embrace the multi-stakeholder process in Business and Government.* Please join the discussion.

This session aims to understand the behavior of traffic at African IXPs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Was there significant traffic increase due to the lockdown? Were there countries where there was a decrease in traffic mainly because people traditionally accessed more Internet from their offices? How critical are IXPs in these situations? It would also be relevant to understand the inter-regional traffic pattern during the pandemic.

Cette session vise à comprendre le comportement du trafic sur les IXP africains pendant la pandémie COVID-19. Y a-t-il eu une augmentation significative du trafic en raison du verrouillage? Y a-t-il eu des pays où le trafic a diminué principalement parce que les gens accédaient traditionnellement à plus d'Internet depuis leurs bureaux? Dans quelle mesure les IXP sont-ils critiques dans ces situations?

We would like to invite you to tomorrow’s IGF 2020 Pre-Event session "Automating Society - we'll show the evidence" Predictive video surveillance to prevent suicides in German jails; algorithmic risk assessment of domestic violence in Spain; predictive justice systems helping Italian courts decide whether a complaint is algorithmically sound or not. An automated decision-making system that suggests treatments for cancer patients in Switzerland, while others help profiling the unemployed and provide payments of welfare system benefits in Denmark. Sounds (France), smiles (Poland), faces (increasingly, everywhere): nothing seems to escape the realm of automated analysis and decision. And yet, much of the debate in the field of algorithmic decision-making systems (ADMS) and so-called Artificial Intelligence privileges discourses of lofty ethical norms. Too little is known about the many ways in which these systems are already being used in practice. Within these disparate use-cases, it is very important to ask what constitutes context-specific, fit-for-purpose policies with regards to ADMS. To do this we need evidence that will both inform and shape the needed actions, so that ADMS could be used to increase welfare and liberties, whilst also limiting their abuses through harmful surveillance, discrimination, and control. We will share state-of-the art evidence about the practice of algorithmic decision-making processes already in use, taken from our brand new Automating Society 2020 report, covering 16 European countries: Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK. In a first part, we will briefly present excerpts of our evidence-based research on issues of ADMS and lay out our recommendations for policies and government arrangements. In the second part we will discuss these with the audience. Agenda • Introduction: Matthias Spielkamp, Executive Director, AlgorithmWatch • Overview: Fabio Chiusi, Editor Automating Society Report 2020 • Poland: Alek Tarkowski, President of the Board, Centrum Cyfrowe • Q&A event website: https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2020-pre-event-20-automating-society-well-show-the-evidence Automating Society 2020 report: https://automatingsociety.algorithmwatch.org/ Hope to see you there!

You can find the letter attached and in the Googledoc here . We are taking feedback and commentary on the letter until 09 November. We propose that this letter is circulated for sign-on afterwards until 12 November and submitted in order to feed into discussions on IGF reform which are underway as part of the IGF, and which will be part of a discussion of the Main Session on Digital Cooperation, details below: IGF 2020 Main Session: Digital Cooperation *17:50 to 19:20 GMT (12 Nov)* If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to let Bruna and I know.

Noticing the IGC session at the IGF yesterday was my cue to rejoin. It is good to be back and I hope that you are all well. Before the pandemic hit, IGF and RightsCon were the events that I depended upon to reconnect with old friends and colleagues, so although it’s a bit different this year, I want to continue the tradition. if you notice me in an event please do feel free to DM me to catch up. I will also be at the IGF Village staffing the Prostasia Foundation village booth. There is a village tours tomorrow, or you can book a time for a 1-on-1 on our village booth page: https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2020-village-booth-2-prostasia-foundation And before I go, a quick plug for a current campaign Prostasia is running to raise awareness of a European Commission proposal to legalize mass surveillance of encrypted emails, using the justification of child protection. We’re looking for a European activist to help volunteer with coordination of this campaign, so please be in touch if that is you: https://prostasia.org/campaign/no-big-brother-in-my-pocket/ Thanks and enjoy IGF 2020. -- Jeremy Malcolm https://jere.my From ayden at ferdeline.com Tue Nov 10 16:04:11 2020 From: ayden at ferdeline.com (=?utf-8?Q?Ayden_F=C3=A9rdeline?=) Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2020 21:04:11 +0000 Subject: [Governance] In honour of Marilyn Cade In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Dear all, Many well-deserved tributes to Marilyn Cade have flowed in on the IGF webpage. I do not want this post to come across as self-promotion, so I am sorry if it does come across that way. However a few weeks back, I interviewed Marilyn Cade for my Internet governance history podcast but the episode had not yet been scheduled to stream. I have uploaded it today to [Apple Podcasts](https://podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/marilyn-cade-on-the-formation-of-icann/id1521285039?i=1000498008728&l=en) and [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/episode/2CqwDjmDoNKuhYePaOCZfU?si=tuypm1eYQgW8sxxlNQ_r-A). In this two-hour conversation, Marilyn Cade was reflective on her (many) accomplishments and spoke to her leadership style as well as to how she killed two WIPO treaties and her involvement in different multilateral institutions. She primarily spoke about the early days of ICANN and her instrumental role in forming the organization. Again, I’d rather not advertise my podcast, but Marilyn was/is a brilliant storyteller and I think some people would enjoy hearing her reflections. There is also a [transcript available here](https://www.powerplays.xyz/podcast/s1-e4). I typed it up, so any errors in the transcript are mine and I will gladly correct them if you let me know. While never identifying as a member of civil society, Marilyn Cade was an advocate for the interests of civil society and believed strongly that neither government nor businesses alone should determine how the Internet is governed.

Donuts is owned by private equity firm Abry Partners, connected to former ICANN CEO Fadi Chehade.

I have a few questions that I was hoping you might be able to help me with. There is currently a conversation going on within the Togolese ecosystem regarding the attribution of the Country code top-level domain (. TG). According to article 4 of the national charter in Togo, the domain names ending with the extension. TG can only be assigned if the domain name does not correspond to the naming zones retained by the charter (see list at the end of the email). For example, as a natural person, I cannot have a domain name with my name (Emmanuel Vitus) directly like *emmanuelvitus.tg *. The charter indicates that such name must be assigned with the following extension: *emmanuelvitus.nom.tg **(.nom which means name in french must be included in the domain name to indicate that I am an individual)* and for natural persons, the documents requested are a national ID and a family council report (which means the family must agree and give you an authorization note before you get the domain name). Otherwise, you will not have the domain name. Before I address the issue in the local community, I would like to hear from you as experts and as a users. 1- Do you find that this practice encouraging enough the popularization of the ccTLD (.TG)? 2- What are the best practices and examples in your country/region regarding this? Below are the naming zones selected for the “. tg ” 1. admin.tg for public administrations; 2. asso.tg for associations; 3. edu.tg for the education sector; 4. gouv.tg for government structures; 5. nom.tg for individuals; 6. org.tg for international organizations and NGOs; 7. tm.tg for trademarks; 8. com.tg for entities carrying out an activity of an industrial or commercial nature, or any other income-generating activity; 9. mairie.tg for municipalities (eg: lome.mairie.tg); 10. prefecture.tg for the prefectures (ex: yoto.prefecture.tg); 11. ville.tg for cities (ex: kara.ville.tg); 12. canton.tg for the county towns (eg: amoutive.canton.tg); 13. Info.tg for activities relating to the publication of information; 14. Net.tg for network and internet service providers; 15. village.tg for villages (eg: edzi.village.tg). Only domain names for which the applicant does not correspond to any of the categories linked to descriptive extensions above, can be created under the extension “. tg ”. The creation of such domain names is expressly authorized by the administrative manager. Thanks in advance!

Most countries have some public funding available in the form of universal service/access funds or others where commercial telecommunications are supposed to subsidize areas of market failure. In many cases, such funds have piled up unused, and in others, they have been misused. The technical capacity of fund operating staff is as important as is their degree of contact with the situation on the ground. Community Networks (CNs), for their part, are often unaware of such funds. This session aims to explore how CNs can tap into such public funds if available.

La plupart des pays disposent de certains financements publics sous forme de fonds de service / d'accès universels ou d'autres où les télécommunications commerciales sont censées subventionner les zones de défaillance du marché. Dans de nombreux cas, ces fonds se sont accumulés inutilisés, et dans d'autres, ils ont été mal utilisés. La capacité technique du personnel de gestion des fonds est aussi importante que leur degré de contact avec la situation sur le terrain. Les réseaux communautaires (RCs), pour leur part, ignorent souvent l'existence de ces fonds. Cette session vise à explorer comment les RCs peuvent puiser dans ces fonds publics si disponibles. *SPEAKERS / CONFERENCIERS* *Dr. Charley Lewis*, Independent Analyst, Researcher and Educator/Analyste, chercheur et éducateur indépendant *Nthabiseng Pule*, Project and Outreach Manager for the Cybersecurity Capacity Centre for Southern Africa (C3SA)/Responsable de projet et de sensibilisation, C3SA *Victor Asante*, Senior Manager, GIFEC/Cadre supérieur, GIFEC *MODERATOR / MODÉRATRICE* *Eleanor Sarpong*, Deputy Director & Policy lead Alliance for Affordable Internet (A4AI) *FACILITATOR / FACILITATEUR* *Verengai Mabika*, Senior Policy Advisor - Africa, Internet Society *LIVESTREAM ENGLISH http://livestream.com/internetsociety/VirtualCNAfricaSummit3 *(open captions) *LIVESTREAM FRANÇAIS http://livestream.com/internetsociety2/VirtualCNAfricaSummit3 * *PARTICIPATE VIA ZOOM https://bit.ly/3o3TWGn * (English closed captions, Interprète français) *REAL TIME TEXT https://www.streamtext.net/player?event=CFI-ISOC *(English) *TWITTER #VirtualCNAfricaSummit2020 #CommunityNetworks @internetsociety @APC_News @ISOC_Africa @ISOC_Community @ISOC_Foundation #switchiton #GrowInternet @Ellasarpong Dr Charley Lewis @ITWeb Nthabiseng Pule @C3SA_UCT Victor Asante @GIFECGhana* *SIMULCASTS* *https://www.pscp.tv/ISOC_Live/ * *https://www.twitch.tv/isoclive * *https://www.facebook.com/InternetSociety/live * *https://www.facebook.com/ISOCAfrica/live * *ARCHIVE* *https://archive.org/details/VirtualCNAfricaSummit3 * *Permalink* https://isoc.live/13054/ - -- -------------------------------------- Joly MacFie +12185659365 -------------------------------------- - -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
