As the internet has become critical infrastructure and indispensable, policy makers in many countries are struggling with the same questions: What should be the regulatory obligations of telecommunications carriers? How can we ensure that rural areas and low-income households have access to the internet? And how can we manage scarce spectrum to enable new services, increase competition and protect vital existing services? While each of these issues is hard, they are also interdependent. *SPEAKERS* *Scott Marcus* – Senior Fellow at Bruegel, Belgium *Eric Burger* – Professor of Computer Science, Georgetown University, USA *Chris Marsden* – Professor of Internet Law, University of Sussex, UK *Sonia Jorge* – Executive Director, A4AI, Head of Digital Inclusion, Web Foundation *Paul Brooks* – Consulting CTO and Chair of Internet Australia, Australia *ORGANIZER* *Henning Schulzrinne* – Julian Clarence Levi Professor of Mathematical Methods and Computer Science and Professor of Electrical Engineering, Columbia University, USA *LIVESTREAM* *http://livestream.com/internetsociety/nwc-layer8 * *TWITTER #layer8 @thenetworkingc1 Scott Marcus @Bruegel_org Eric Burger @Georgetown @ChrisTMarsden @SoniaA4AI PWB_inAus @HSchulzrinne* *SIMULCASTS* *https://www.twitter.com/ISOC_Live/ * *https://www.twitch.tv/isoclive * *ARCHIVE* *https://archive.org/details/nwc-layer8* *Permalink* https://isoc.live/14091/ - -- -------------------------------------- Joly MacFie +12185659365 -------------------------------------- - -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It deals with the possibilities of the meeting leading to a cyber detente, or the start of one. Link: https://www.diplomacy.edu/blog/cyber-detente-geneva-can-biden-and-putin-ease-cyber-tensions The text is right below this email. All the best, Stephanie Cyber détente in Geneva: Can Biden and Putin ease cyber tensions? JOVAN KURBALIJA Despite the recent cyberattacks on SolarWinds, the Colonial Pipeline, and the meat producer JBS, there is plenty of room for optimism for a cyber deal at the upcoming summit in Geneva between US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin. It could very well slow down – if not bring to an end – the cyber tensions between the two countries. The Biden–Putin summit could also turn the page from these protracted hostilities towards a more stable and cooperative global digital policy with the active participation of governments, businesses, and civil society worldwide. [image: The 16 June Biden-Putin summit and what it means for the US-Russia cyber relations] There are three main reasons for this cyber optimism ahead of the summit in Geneva. First, while the attacks have taken up all the headlines on cyberspace, *the two countries have been cooperating on several fronts via multilateral processes*. In March, *they both endorsed the report of the UN Open-Ended Working Group on Cybersecurity* , and just last week, the report of *the UN Group of Governmental Experts* . Russia and the USA both agreed to develop a more predictable global cybersecurity regime built on 11 norms on how governments should behave in cyberspace and on cooperative measures to address cyberthreats. Even at the highly divisive e-commerce negotiations at the World Trade Organization (WTO), Russia and the USA belong to the same group of countries that are arguing for new e-commerce rules. Second, *a ‘cyber hotline’ between Washington and Moscow* is now open as the two countries directly address recent cyber incidents, according to the *White House * and *Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ribakov* . Third, in the past two months, we have seen *a shift both in rhetoric and actions.* The animosity between the two countries only grew as the US security apparatus *officially attributed * the SolarWinds cyberattacks to the Russian government. President Biden issued an *Executive Order* sanctioning *40 Russian individuals and companies* over their involvement in the SolarWinds cyberattack. But US rhetoric has softened recently. After *the Colonial Pipeline attack* in May, Biden emphasised that the attack was launched by a *Russian group, rather than by the Russian government* . Last week saw a further de-escalation of rhetoric as US officials focused on cooperating with Russian authorities while dealing with the JBS cyberattack. Russia was not mentioned explicitly in what were otherwise tough statements on cybersecurity by US Commerce Secretary *Gina Raimondo* , Energy Secretary *Jennifer Granholm* , and Transportation Secretary *Pete Buttigieg* . All in all, the stage for a cyber détente between the two countries has been set. In addition to bilateral cooperation, they can also engage into more effective multilateralism by taking *the ‘ready-to-use’ confidence-building measures of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE)* out of the ‘diplomatic fridge’. On a global level, Russia and the USA could accelerate the UN process towards* a Cybersecurity Compact *that should regulate the current cyber arms race, with at least *50 countries * that already have or are close to having offensive cyber capabilities. The two countries can also strengthen coordination in the fight against cybercrime, currently underway in two separate tracks: (a) the USA-led approach to globalise the ratification of the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime, and (b) the Russian-led quest for a new UN cybercrime convention. Further along this cyber journey, Russia and the USA should anchor cybersecurity in *a wider digital agenda *covering e-commerce, human rights, development, standardisation, and other policy issues. For example, e-commerce regulations cannot be effective without addressing standardisation, data, privacy, and security perspectives. The tech sector needs to provide details on cyber components and services to their governments for drawing up a global cyber-harmonised nomenclature system, the basis of the global trading system. Russia will have additional incentives towards developing a holistic approach to global digital policy as it will be hosting the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) in 2025, a landmark global gathering that addresses digital issues in a cross-cutting way. Although there are several reasons to feel optimistic about the Geneva summit, *caution is still advised as cyber issues are not – and cannot be – treated in isolation.* Cyber issues are a part of a wider agenda between the two countries, ranging from nuclear weapons to the situation in and around Ukraine, relations with China, human rights, the Middle East, and so on. For the USA, cyber issues will feature prominently on the Geneva summit agenda. As the US society is highly dependent on digital technologies, cyber stability will increase the security of critical infrastructures domestically and support the economic interests of Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and other tech companies internationally. While the outcome of the Geneva negotiations will be *the result of complex trade-offs*, it is certain that fewer cyber tensions and more digital cooperation would be greatly beneficial to the modern world. Through a cyber détente, Biden and Putin can make an important contribution to global cyber stability and overall digital development. *Many times in history, on the shores of Geneva’s Lake Leman, diplomacy and cooperation prevailed over war and conflict. Next week, there’s reason to hope that history will repeat itself in the cyber realm.* ------------------------------ *For more context on the possibilities of a cyber detente, and the cyber relations between the USA and Russia over the years, read the Geneva Internet Platform’s analysis at **https://dig.watch/trends/cyber-detente* > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

'*The Role of Technical Standards in Enabling the Future *'. The history of civilization from hunter-gatherer, agrarian, city states, manufacturing, information age, to the internet age may be identified by the successions of technical references/standards that are developed—symbols, measurements, plans, similarity, compatibility, and adaptability. Each new succession results in a paradigm change, enabling increased value creation: bartering, counting and measuring, building, manufacturing, networks, and openness. Standards successions offer an evolutionary technology model, showing why and how market control occurs and where new value is created.

I see two things stand out.... The term 'Internet governance' is losing ground to 'digital governance', and I think appropriately so. We ourselves use digital governance term for quite some time.... I suspect more and more official documents will employ this term. The recent G 77 statement had no mention of internet governance, and although digital governance too is not mentioned, there is a lot on digital regulation and digital standards... Second, somewhat surprisingly, both the documents make no mention of multi--stakeholder model, a staple of all or most such statements and declarations coming from western powers in the last around 10-12 years. interestingly, what we see instead is the mention of 'democratic model of digital governance'. Would really love to know what this means. I suspect, this has nothing to do with democracy at the global level, whereby unlike now when OECD, G 77, etc lay the rules of the game for Internet/ digital governance, all countries will have an equal role. What 'democratic model of digital governance' is meant to convey here is 'democratic' at the national levels as contrasted to 'authoritarian' models of China, Russia, et al.  OK, we see the point ... But what about how digital is to be governed at the global level -- by EU, US and other G-7 and OECD countries? Is there any plan for a 'globally democratic model of digital governance'? Happy to hear views of others on these significant shifts. parminder Excerpts below from the US-EU summit  https://www.consilium.europa.eu//media/50443/eu-us-summit-joint-statement-15-june-final-final.pdf 17. To kick-start this positive agenda and to provide an effective platform for cooperation, we establish a high-level EU-US Trade and Technology Council (TTC). The major goals of the TTC will be to grow the bilateral trade and investment relationship; to avoid new unnecessary technical barriers to trade; to coordinate, seek common ground and strengthen global cooperation on technology, digital issues and supply chains; to support collaborative research and exchanges; to cooperate on compatible and international standards development; to facilitate regulatory policy and enforcement cooperation and, where possible, convergence; to promote innovation and leadership by US and European firms; and to strengthen other areas of cooperation. The cooperation and exchanges of 4 the TTC will be without prejudice to the regulatory autonomy of the United States and the European Union and will respect the different legal systems in both jurisdictions. Cooperation within the TTC will also feed into *coordination in multilateral bodies and wider efforts with like-minded partners*, with the aim of *promoting a democratic model of digital governance.* 18. The TTC will initially include working groups with agendas focused on technology standards cooperation (including on AI, Internet of Things, among other emerging technologies), climate and green tech, ICT security and competitiveness, data governance and technology platforms, the misuse of technology threatening security and human rights, export controls, investment screening, promoting SMEs access to, and use of, digital technologies, and global trade challenges. It will also include a working group on reviewing and strengthening our most critical supply chains. Notably, we commit to building an EU-US partnership on the rebalancing of global supply chains in semiconductors with a view to enhancing EU and US respective security of supply as well as capacity to design and produce the most powerful and resource efficient semiconductors. 19. In parallel with the TTC, we intend to establish an EU-US Joint Technology Competition Policy Dialogue that would focus on approaches to competition policy and enforcement, and increased cooperation in the tech sector. To support collaborative research and innovation exchanges, we promote a staff exchange programme between our research funding agencies, and we intend to explore the possibility of developing a new research initiative on biotechnology and genomics, with a view to setting common standards. A new implementing arrangement between the EU Joint Research Centre and the US National Institute of Standards and Technologies aims to expand cooperation to new areas. We also resolve to deepen cooperation on cybersecurity information sharing and situational awareness, as well as cybersecurity certification of products and software. 20. We commit to work together to ensure safe, secure, and trusted cross-border data flows that protect consumers and enhance privacy protections, while enabling Transatlantic commerce. To this end, we plan to continue to work together to strengthen legal certainty in Transatlantic flows of personal data. We also commit to continue cooperation on consumer protection and access to electronic evidence in criminal matters. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Notably, we commit to building an EU-US partnership on the rebalancing of global supply chains in semiconductors with a view to enhancing EU and US respective security of supply as well as capacity to design and produce the most powerful and resource efficient semiconductors. *** ** Fine enough. the US and EU has the right to secure their critical supply chains, like domestic design and production of semi-conductors or silicon chips. They have the right to develop industrial policies to ensure sufficient domestic control over the supply of silicon chips. But my question is: why do developing countries not have the corresponding right to secure who owns AI about them, which is built from the data that flows freely out of them, as US and EU insist should keep flowing freely out. Why cannot developing countries too have digital industrial polices to ensure the far more important thing of having enough domestic control over AI about them, which will decide how all economic, social and political systems run? What is more important to control, and a better justification for digital industrial policies: where do chips come from or who owns Ai about us, individually and of our group, cohort, community, group, nation and country? But we are to a world order where the most powerful fully dictate, what qualifies to be a problem, and what could be a solution ... There is no logic, just power, behind such determinations. parminder On 16/06/21 3:57 pm, parminder wrote: > > > I find a few significant elements in the US-EU summit statement with > regard to, shall I still say, Internet governance.  > https://www.consilium.europa.eu//media/50443/eu-us-summit-joint-statement-15-june-final-final.pdf > > See the relevant portions of the summit statement below, with emphasis > added. > > I see two things stand out....

In that sense, we aim to share our perspective on the impact of the trade regime for intellectual property rights (IPR) protection to exercise the right to health and to access to live-saving medication. We also aim to provide a critical perspective of the interactions between this issue and the role of digital technologies to respond to the health crisis. We expect to contribute to the global debate on this issue in the framework of the negotiations happening at the Word Trade Organisation.  The statement is available here: https://www.apc.org/en/pubs/joint-civil-society-statement-peoples-health-and-rights-and-not-intellectual-property-and If you would like to join the initiative, please use this link to add your individual or organisational support: https://crm.apc.org/joint-civil-society-statement-peoples-health-and-rights Best regards, Valeria -- Valeria Betancourt Directora / Manager Programa de Políticas de Information y Comunicación / Communication and Information Policy Programme Asociación para el Progreso de las Comunicaciones / Association for Progressive Communications, APC http://www.apc.org From joly at punkcast.com Thu Jun 17 17:07:28 2021 From: joly at punkcast.com (Joly MacFie) Date: Thu, 17 Jun 2021 17:07:28 -0400 Subject: [Governance] WEBCAST HOY: Desafios para una Internet sostenible en Pandemia Message-ID: Uno para nuestros hispanohablantes!
