La session d'aujourd'hui aborde le délicat problème de l'interconnexion tout en se distanciant physiquement ! [image: livestream] On *Tuesday 3 August 2021* at *13:00-14:30 UTC* the *African IXP Association *, in partnership with the *Internet Society *, host '*Fear to Peer – Post Pandemic, What is the Future of Handshake Peering? *'. The focus of this 11th webinar in the *Virtual Peering Series – Africa * will be will be on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the organisation of peering forums around the world. We would like to understand how activities such as peering bilaterals and socials, which are usually heavily in-person dependent, will evolve and whether hybrid (in-person and virtual) events would become the new norm. This session will elaborate on the innovative ways peering forums are currently exploring to keep their respective communities engaged. Finally, with little to almost zero face-to-face outreach events, the community building and development activities, around peering, need to be re-invented. The session will discuss the impact of the pandemic on the human network and how this is affecting the operational aspects of peering. *SPEAKERS* *Rebecca Class-Peter*, Events and Operations Coordinator, Euro-IX *Ester Paál*, Accounts and Communication Manager, NIX.CZ *Yolandi Robinson*, Peering & Interconnect Specialist, NAPAfrica *Nico Tshintu*, Operation Manager, ISPA-DRC and KINIX *MODERATORS* *Amreesh Phokeer*, Internet Measurement and Data Expert, Internet Society *Kyle Spencer*, Executive Director, Uganda Internet eXchange Point (UIXP) | Co-Coordinator, African IXP Association (Af-IX) *LIVESTREAM ENGLISH http://livestream.com/internetsociety/afpeering11 *(Open Captions) [image: livestream francais] Le *mardi 3 août 2021* de 1*3h00 à 14h30 UTC*, l'*African IXP Association *, en partenariat avec l'*Internet Society *, accueillera « *La peur du peering - qu’adviendra-t-il du poignée de main d’interconnexion en post-pandémie? * ». L'objectif de ce 11e webinaire de la *série Virtual Peering – Afrique * sera mis sur l'impact de la pandémie de COVID-19 sur l'organisation de forums de peering à travers le monde. Nous aimerions comprendre comment des activités telles que les bilatérales et les sociales de peering, qui sont d'habitude fortement dépendantes des rencontres en présentiel, vont désormais évoluer, et si des événements hybrides (combinaison de présentiel et de virtuel) deviendront la nouvelle norme. Enfin, avec peu ou presque pas d'événements de sensibilisation en tête-à-tête, les activités de développement et de renforcement de la communauté, autour du peering, doivent être réinventées. La séance abordera donc l'impact de la pandémie sur le réseau humain et la manière dont cela influence les aspects opérationnels du peering. *INTERVENANTS* *Rebecca Class-Peter*, Coordonnatrice des événements et des opérations, Euro-IX *Ester Paál*, responsable des comptes et de la communication, NIX.CZ *Yolandi Robinson*, spécialiste du peering et de l'interconnexion, NAPAfrica *Nico Tshintu*, directeur des opérations, ISPA-RDC et KINIX *MODÉRATEURS* *Amreesh Phokeer*, expert en mesure et données Internet, Internet Society *Kyle Spencer*, directeur exécutif, Point d'échange Internet ougandais (UIXP) | Co-coordinateur, Association Africaine IXP (Af-IX) *LIVESTREAM FRANÇAIS http://livestream.com/internetsociety2/afpeering11 * *PARTICIPATE VIA ZOOM https://bit.ly/3s1YWhX *(EN/FR) (EN Closed Captions) *REAL TIME TEXT https://www.streamtext.net/player?event=CFI-ISOC *(EN) *TWITTER #IPeerinAfrica @AfPIF @Af_IX @ISOC_Africa @euroix @NIX_CZ @RobinsonYolandi @NAPAfrica_IX @NTSHINTU @Facebook @FLEXOPTIX @paixio @MicrosoftAfrica #captioned * *SIMULCASTS* *https://www.twitter.com/ISOC_Live/ * *https://www.twitch.tv/isoclive* (EN) *https://www.facebook.com/liveisoc * *https://www.facebook.com/InternetSociety/ * *https://www.facebook.com/ISOCAfrica/ * *ARCHIVE* *https://archive.org/details/afpeering11 * *SPONSORS* *FLEXOPTIX * | *Facebook *|*Microsoft * | *Paix * | *NAPAfrica * *Permalink* https://isoc.live/14405/ - -- -------------------------------------- Joly MacFie +12185659365 -------------------------------------- - -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

URL: From valeriab at apc.org Fri Aug 6 15:19:00 2021 From: valeriab at apc.org (Valeria Betancourt) Date: Fri, 6 Aug 2021 14:19:00 -0500 Subject: [Governance] Invitation to sign on : Civil society calls for a virtual IGF 2021 to strengthen inclusivity Message-ID: <08f34ce5-65ba-2c2d-6d15-ecf26ff0e2c1@apc.org> Dear all,   The 2021 IGF has been announced as a hybrid event. APC considers that it is important to make a call to ensure inclusiveness and balanced participation of stakeholders, particularly the ones from the Global South. In our view, the pandemic has multiplied inequalities in access and participation in policy processes, especially global and regional ones where travel is required. We fear that the adoption of a hybrid model, while mobility constraints imposed by the pandemic have not yet been fully lifted, will contribute to exacerbating those inequalities and limit opportunities for meaningful participation and engagement. We urge the organisers to ensure that the decision of adopting a hybrid model is accompanied by relevant measures to ensure a truly inclusive meeting. We've prepared a statement in this regard and would like to invite you to join us in raising these issues. Here is the link to the draft and the form to endorse it: Civil society calls for a virtual IGF 2021 to strengthen inclusivity | Association for Progressive Communications (apc.org): https://crm.apc.org/statement/VirtualParticipation-IGF2021 The statement will be made public on Tuesday Aug 10th and submitted formally to the IGF Secretariat and MAG.  We would kindly ask you to confirm your endorsement by Monday 10pm ET.

Equal footing in hybrid models during or outside of covid restrictions has unfortunately been unattainable. Pasted the paragraph from APC statement just to point out what they are actually arguing: “We remain fully committed to the IGF and to making the 16th annual meeting a success story. This is why we call on organisers to carefully shape the hybrid event to address our concerns and ensure a successful, inclusive and balanced meeting. In particular, we recommend that mechanisms are put in place to tackle the issue of time zones and connectivity costs. Adopting the Polish time as the single standard would significantly limit participation of those based in incompatible time zones. Also, participants should have access to a data support scheme, in addition to the travel support already announced, to ensure participation is affordable to all, especially those coming from countries where broadband connectivity is not the default and data packages are expensive. The signatories of this statement express their willingness to participate in the discussion and implementation of ideas, structures, methodologies and technologies to ensure meaningful remote participation during all phases of the annual event. The key challenge of ensuring meaningful remote participation in the IGF as valued and impactful as in-person participation cannot be overstated or taken for granted.

It is perhaps a little revolutionary but how about something like "IGF 16 will be held virtually in Poland, with accommodations being made for in situ participants" which makes a clear definition of priorities. Another option could be like something I had proposed before when the physical meeting was in Bali - produce the programme early with the presentation content so that the workshop addresses direct discussion of issues which can also be made accessible in a more static manner for people with bandwidth challenges. I realise that this would require proactive willing participants, the management of a large amount of data, truly excellent moderatos and a great deal of work, but it would largely obviate the time problem, help with language issues and give everyone possible a chance to join in. There is a tendency for the IG conversation to be held by a clique (albeit a large and multistakeholder clique) of interested parties somehow in parallel with a lot of what is really going on in the world??? I am in sympathy with the statement that points to a VERY real problem particularly this year. Whatever happens the IGF will need some type of Plan B for if it becomes necessary to manage in a situation of draconian travel restrictions, or practically non-existent travel.

APC has been committed and engaged with the IGF since its inception and we have seen and contributed to the efforts towards inclusivity, particularly of stakeholders from the global South.    There are practical restrictions and inequalities related to transborder mobility at the moment, including for instance the fact that some Covid-19 vaccines are not broadly accepted as valid ones to apply for Schengen visas for people who need them to enter the EU territory. We are concerned that those type of restrictions will impact the real possibility of specific stakeholders from the global South to actually travel to the IGF this year.    We are not questioning the hybrid model per se but expressing our concern that in the specific context of the pandemic, there are risks associated to using it as the leading model for the December IGF meeting. In that sense, our call is for putting together mechanisms to ensure that onsite and remote participation is balanced. Our suggestion is that the virtual modality of the hybrid model is the default parameter to organise the IGF annual event. This, we believe, would influence how the event deals with time zone concerns and attendance support schemes, for example.    The statement is not an end in itself. We expect to engage with the IGF with concrete suggestions of measures to ensure a truly inclusive meeting, building on what the IGF has been doing for years. Our goal is not to alter decisions that are now already being implemented, but to make a call to the IGF community to place these concerns at the center of the planning and preparatory activities underway between now and December.    I hope it clarifies the spirit of the statement.     Best,    Valeria On 9/8/21 06:36, Deirdre Williams via Governance wrote: > I agree with Farzaneh about the need to add some concrete suggestions. > It is perhaps a little revolutionary but how about something like "IGF > 16 will be held virtually in Poland, with accommodations being made > for in situ participants" which makes a clear definition of > priorities.

Do we aim to bring non-English speakers issues to the fore or is it to promote certain languages.If the former then I think we can't have it with the UN expensive style of "interpretation" only that interprets with no context. They are not even popular. yes they are great for organizations PR and showing that they are "inclusive" on the surface. But I think we need to first see if multilingualism as we implement it now during our meetings actually helps people and find it useful. Truly multilingual environments that are not context based cannot happen because they are too expensive. Unless we just go selective with the languages (like the UN does). I think language in these meetings is about "communications" not to serve to keep a language relevant. I don't think we help people communicate with just general interpretation, it needs more than UN style work. As long as we have not identified and brought along the people who cannot communicate in English and that affects their day to day lives on the Internet, then having interpretation is not fruitful. I don't think our mission in Internet governance processes is to help people who are privileged enough to in fact speak English, to use the interpretation services just to prove a point.

I've now released another eight episodes - I hope you don't mind if I take a few moments to share links to some more recent conversations: - Dominique Lazanski, who launched Apple's iTunes Store, spoke to me about how China is currently influencing Standards processes at fora such as the International Telecommunications Union: https://www.powerplays.xyz/podcast/s2-e1 - Long-time Google exec and now Mozilla Fellow-in-Residence Richard Whitt spoke with me about how we can create a future where the Artificial Intelligence lurking behind our various digital interfaces doesn’t automatically cede to an institution's priorities and incentives over a person's well-being: https://www.powerplays.xyz/podcast/s2-e2 - Professor Nathan Schneider of the University of Colorado Boulder spoke with me about the rise of platform cooperativism and his vision for a fairer Internet. He suggests that we combine the rich heritage of cooperatives with the promise of 21st-century technologies in order to create a new kind of online economy, one free from the economics of monopoly, exploitation, and surveillance: https://www.powerplays.xyz/podcast/s2-e3 - In the early '90s, Julf Helsingius ran an online post office box that allowed people to anonymously share information over the Internet. But after secret religious documents belonging to the Church of Scientology found their way onto the server, Helsingius found himself in the midst of a multi-year legal battle with the Church that saw his name and face splashed everywhere from The New York Times to Time Magazine. We speak about the state of Internet freedom in Finland today, the stress of this dispute, and the lessons he's learned from this battle: https://www.powerplays.xyz/podcast/s2-e4 - Lior Zalmanson, a new media artist and an assistant professor at Tel Aviv University, researches the business models that underpin online content. On the podcast he shares his latest research into how small creators on platforms like Patreon and YouTube have monetized their work. He finds, contrary to popular belief, that a content creator having a personal connection with a consumer has a detrimental impact on whether they make a financial contribution to their work or not: https://www.powerplays.xyz/podcast/s2-e5 - Grammy-nominee and Grant for the Web Ambassador Kokayi Issa spoke with me about how Black creators in particular can benefit from emerging web monetization technologies such as the Interledger protocol, Unlock protocol, Coil, and Cinnamon: https://www.powerplays.xyz/podcast/s2-e6 - Interledger Foundation executive director Briana Marbury spoke with me about financial inclusion and new and emerging open payment standards and technologies that seamlessly connect our global society: https://www.powerplays.xyz/podcast/s2-e7 - Futurist and Mozilla Fellow Amber Case spoke with me about how the future of money (read: cryptocurrencies) can generate new business models for compensating creators and why she is excited for the Internet of 2031 - and what she imagines it might look like: https://www.powerplays.xyz/podcast/s2-e8 You can find the podcast on [Apple Podcasts](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/power-plays/id1521285039), [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/2wnwefldHYZHoXKQdck8Gm), and all major streaming apps.
