I am wondering how appropriate it is to subject the Secretary General's
initiative to constitute a high level body, at as high a level as the
Secretary General might conceive. This is the well within the scope and
expectations of the highest functionary of the UN. Subjecting the Secretary
General's functions to an objection or a public criticism process in a
mailing list somewhat exceeds the limits of the Civil Society MS processes.
Inputs and comments are pertinent when programs are announced by the high
level body that is not yet constituted, when called for, and where
necessary.

It ought to be well within the powers of the Secretary General to name
individuals and Organisations as it pleases the Secretary General and so
constitute the high level body as conceived for the good of the world.

<https://livestream.com/internetsociety/afpeering9>On *Tuesday
May 4 2021*, at *13:00-14.30 UTC*, the *African IXP Association
<https://www.af-ix.net/>*, in partnership with the *Internet Society
<https://www.internetsociety.org/regions/africa/>*, in the ninth webinar in
the *Virtual Peering Series – Africa
<https://www.afpif.org/virtual-peering-series-africa/>*, by popular demand,
present part two of '*Franchise vs Homegrown IXPs
<https://www.afpif.org/virtual-peering-series-africa/franchise-vs-homegrown-ixps-2/>*
'.

There are many approaches to establishing and running an Internet Exchange
Point today including Home-grown initiatives, Franchise deployments,
“Powered by” solutions, Government mandated projects as well as Turnkey
IXPs.

This session, just as the first one, aims to provide a balanced discussion
on the possible benefits and the drawbacks of the different approaches to
the establishment and management of IXPs, allowing the audience to draw
their own conclusions on what best fits their local peering environment.

Il existe aujourd’hui de nombreuses approches pour établir et gérer un
point d’échange Internet, y compris des initiatives locales, des
déploiements de franchise, des solutions «Powered by», des projets mandatés
par le gouvernement ainsi que des IXP clé en main.

Cette session, tout comme le premier, vise à fournir une discussion
équilibrée sur les avantages possibles et les inconvénients des différentes
approches de l’établissement et de la gestion des IXP, permettant au public
de tirer ses propres conclusions sur ce qui convient le mieux à son
environnement local de peering.

Dear all,

Thanks to those who joined the call last week!

Please find below the notes for your reference. Don't hesitate to reach out
if you have any questions,

Best
Sheetal.

UNSG Roadmap on digital cooperation: a brief status-check call,
*Tuesday 04 May*

*Present: Raquel, Amrita, Nnenna, Bruna, Judith, Sheetal, Jovan*


Sheetal explained that the reason for the call was to provide an overview
of the UNSG's efforts so far w/r/t Digital Cooperation, from the High Level
Panel to the Roadmap.

   -

   High-level expert panel was appointed in 2018
   -

   We had a meeting at the global IGF in Paris in 2018 and decided to
   submit an input
   -

   The input focused on the values and principles we recommended the report
   emphasise, as well as existing efforts at the UN level/elsewhere
   -

   The HLP report was released in 2019 at RightsCon Tunis
   -

   UNSG's office launched roundtables
   -

   A number of civil society groups were invited to join roundtables as
   participants/champions
   -

   Tech Envoy
   -

      Nnenna/Web Foundation has been spearheading a group which has sent a
      position paper on the appointment of the Tech Envoy (c 99 groups)
      -

   Roadmap includes various suggestions which roundtables have taken up,
   e.g
   -

      Reform to IGF
      -

         We have supported the relevant IGF’s WG’s output on this
         -

         A number of groups/IGC members have inputted into a consultation
         that the IGF hosted and which closed last month
         -

      Due diligence guidance
      -

         A number of groups, coordinated by Access Now, sent an input
         -

      Trust and security statement
      -

      Digital inclusion metrics
      -

      Appointment of Tech Envoy
      -

         We have sent a position paper and followed up
         - The Tech Envoy is currently on leave pending an investigation
         into sexual harassment claims
         - A few of the NGOs part of the aforementioned coalition had a
         meeting with the Tech Envoy Office a couple of months ago, to
introduce
         ourselves and learn more about the priorities of the Office.
The Office
         wants to prioritise the implementation of the Roadmap in an
inclusive way.


We then discussed the IGF+ model, Jovan made the following points:

   - IGF+ model: was an ‘obvious’ one/ IGF mandate in Tunis Agenda / tested
   model in practice / rare spaces where civil society has reasonable
   ‘footprint’ compared to other spaces where governments and businesses have
   much more influence.
   - IGF needs to evolve - otherwise it will slide slowly into irrelevance.
   In 2006 IGF was almost only space for digital debates. Today, there are
   tens of spaces/places where digital/cyber/tech policy issues are addressed.
   Many of these spaces are not open or fully transparent.
   - IGF irrelevance would be the biggest loss for civil society; some
   governments unease with IGF; some business in ‘wait and see mode’. in 2005
   IGF was Irrelevance - there are a growing number of spaces and places where
   digital issues are discussed;
   - On the leadership/high-level track; it is clear that the IGF does not
   have ‘buy-in’ among leaders in governments, business and civil society.
   Many of them are not aware of the existence of the IGF (an exception is a
   limited segment of the tech community and civil society - ‘usual IGF
   suspects’). If the leadership gap exists, the second question is how to
   fill this gap. It is the background to the current discussion at the IGF
   where we may (dis) agree about details and approaches.
   - During pandemics  governments and the tech sector gained power and
   relevance comparing to civil society. IGF Plus can help ‘check’ the growing
   power of governments and tech business. If it is done in transparent and
   inclusive ways, it could be a great contribution to global governance in
   general.
   - The ultimate question: do we need prominent and solid IGF. If it is
   the case changed are needed (including leadership ‘buy in’). With status
   quo IGF will slide into irrelevance rather soon given the growing need for
   digital governance solutions.
   - Clarity of priority and next steps is needed. It is our responsibility
   not only for the future of IGF but also to global public which in search
   for digital governance solutions.

We agreed we need civil society people who want an improved IGF to speak
more loudly - we need to amplify those voices.



Office of the Tech Envoy:

   - Still deliberating on various options for IGF reform based on feedback
   received.
   - UN agencies are expected to make the decision- maybe by June?


*Next steps: *


*Start drafting support letter:*

   -

   See the points of groups (e.g JustNet) who have voiced concern and make
   sure we’re responding to them/reach out
   -

   Upcoming event where we can voice support for IGF reform: Stockholm
   Internet Forum session on 11th


*Other processes:*

Judith will send information about Open Consultation about the next CWG at
the ITU

*IGF session proposal: *

Bruna and Sheetal to work on a session that discusses the IGF's place in
the IG ecosystem/addresses how the ecosystem has developed

Some passing thought:

The world is amidst a pandemic with global civil society fighting to
free medical technologies from monopolistic profiteers . A article
describes the US support for TRPS intellectual property waiver thus:

    The U.S. government’s announcement Wednesday that it will enter
    negotiations to waive World Trade Organization (WTO) intellectual
    property rules is a victory for democratizing technology, for
    rebalancing power toward governments and away from corporations, and
    for the power of countries working /together /to fight the global
    pandemic. This may also be the most significant departure from the
    U.S. government’s longstanding commitment to global pharmaceutical
    monopolies since that regime was first introduced via NAFTA
    negotiations 30 years ago.

    https://democracyjournal.org/arguments/first-the-waiver-next-lets-vaccinate-the-world/

    ENDS

But if the groups like the big supporters of new MS digital coop policy
body would have their way, we should have Pfizers, and Johnson and
Johnsons, and the such, sitting at the apex global policy systems
determining how our covid response should be market-based and we should
not make such foolish demands like asking for societal needs to trump
profit, and regulators weighing on production and distribution issues ...

Fortunately, 'they' could not succeed in the health sector, but in the
digital sector it seems they are close to succeeding, with liberal help
from civil society quarters. But remember, Apples and Googles of today
would be some of the biggest health companies of tomorrow.

BTW, our great Bill Gates --  the same one who was asked to co-head the
Digi Cooperation panel but passed it on to his wife --  stoutly holds
firm that TRIP intellectual property waiver for covid is not at all
needed. This, even as the biggest political force defending pharma
monopolies, the US government, later supported the waiver, leaving that
self professed czar of global public health blushing, and subject to
much global reprobation. If likes of Bill Gates give such advice in an
area which he chose voluntarily to do his philanthropy in, what kind of
advice he, and his ilk, would give in an area where Gates earned all his
fortune, and still earns it!

But both the irony and profanity of rooting for such global policy
systems as the proposed MS Digi Coop body so completely misses the civil
society here! One wonders why exactly, what is it that one is missing?

Anyway, do what you would. But know that the world is watching, will ask
for accountabilities at some time. Even CS has to be accountable.

BTW, if you all are so righteous about what you are up to, why not open
up an interaction with social movements and big civil society groups in
all different areas. After all, digital being a cross-cutting horizontal
area, the civil society in this area should have close connections with
groups in other areas and be serving their interests, as all sectors get
digitalisation. Or do people disagree with this proposition?

My call to open a dialogue with other global CS groups in different
sectors, and justify your stances, is a serious one. Any takers?

best, parminder

>     tested model in practice / rare spaces where civil society has
>     reasonable ‘footprint’ compared to other spaces where governments
>     and businesses have much more influence.
>   * IGF needs to evolve - otherwise it will slide slowly into
>     irrelevance. In 2006 IGF was almost only space for digital
>     debates. Today, there are tens of spaces/places where
>     digital/cyber/tech policy issues are addressed. Many of these
>     spaces are not open or fully transparent.
>   * IGF irrelevance would be the biggest loss for civil society; some
>     governments unease with IGF; some business in ‘wait and see mode’.
>     in 2005 IGF was Irrelevance - there are a growing number of spaces
>     and places where digital issues are discussed;
>   * On the leadership/high-level track; it is clear that the IGF does
>     not have ‘buy-in’ among leaders in governments, business and civil
>     society. Many of them are not aware of the existence of the IGF
>     (an exception is a limited segment of the tech community and civil
>     society - ‘usual IGF suspects’). If the leadership gap exists, the
>     second question is how to fill this gap. It is the background to
>     the current discussion at the IGF where we may (dis) agree about
>     details and approaches.
>   * During pandemics  governments and the tech sector gained power and
>     relevance comparing to civil society. IGF Plus can help ‘check’
>     the growing power of governments and tech business. If it is done
>     in transparent and inclusive ways, it could be a great
>     contribution to global governance in general.
>   * The ultimate question: do we need prominent and solid IGF. If it
>     is the case changed are needed (including leadership ‘buy in’).

And for those who have so thoroughly pooh poohed and trashed the 170
organisations globally that expressed their support to the JNC letter
opposing the new MS digital policy body, in just 3 days that we had
before the deadline, I would like to inform you that we have kept on
getting more support for the letter, on the JNC elist and privately.
Just now I received the following:

    Dear all,

    I'm happy to inform you that the Italian Association for Open Science (AISA) has publicly endorsed the JNC letter to the UN and will be shortly get in touch with you for formally including the association among the signatories:

    https://aisa.sp.unipi.it/lettera-aperta-al-segretario-onu-contro-il-progetto-di-un-high-level-multistakeholder-body-for-digital-cooperation/

    I think there could be other Italian national groups interested both in endorsing the letter and joining the activities of the JNC. 
    Is there an Italian "chapter" of the JNC that we can connect to?

    Warmest regards,

    Domenico

ENDS

You can sure keep calling these groups inconsequential, at the cost of
your own credibility ....

best, parminder

>> We then discussed the IGF+ model, Jovan made the following points:
>>
>>   * IGF+ model: was an ‘obvious’ one/ IGF mandate in Tunis Agenda /
>>     tested model in practice / rare spaces where civil society has
>>     reasonable ‘footprint’ compared to other spaces where governments
>>     and businesses have much more influence.
>>   * IGF needs to evolve - otherwise it will slide slowly into
>>     irrelevance. In 2006 IGF was almost only space for digital
>>     debates. Today, there are tens of spaces/places where
>>     digital/cyber/tech policy issues are addressed. Many of these
>>     spaces are not open or fully transparent.
>>   * IGF irrelevance would be the biggest loss for civil society; some
>>     governments unease with IGF; some business in ‘wait and see
>>     mode’. in 2005 IGF was Irrelevance - there are a growing number
>>     of spaces and places where digital issues are discussed;
>>   * On the leadership/high-level track; it is clear that the IGF does
>>     not have ‘buy-in’ among leaders in governments, business and
>>     civil society. Many of them are not aware of the existence of the
>>     IGF (an exception is a limited segment of the tech community and
>>     civil society - ‘usual IGF suspects’). If the leadership gap
>>     exists, the second question is how to fill this gap. It is the
>>     background to the current discussion at the IGF where we may
>>     (dis) agree about details and approaches.
>>   * During pandemics  governments and the tech sector gained power
>>     and relevance comparing to civil society. IGF Plus can help
>>     ‘check’ the growing power of governments and tech business. If it
>>     is done in transparent and inclusive ways, it could be a great
>>     contribution to global governance in general.
>>   * The ultimate question: do we need prominent and solid IGF. If it
>>     is the case changed are needed (including leadership ‘buy in’).
>>     With status quo IGF will slide into irrelevance rather soon given
>>     the growing need for digital governance solutions.  
>>   * Clarity of priority and next steps is needed. It is our
>>     responsibility not only for the future of IGF but also to global
>>     public which in search for digital governance solutions.
>>
>> We agreed we need civil society people who want an improved IGF to
>> speak more loudly - we need to amplify those voices.

Hi, Parminder

Since e-mail when I was mentioned triggered comments from you, I can say
that I agree with your two points. On the question of the JNC letter I have
some comments (and disagreements) which I can share with JNC or
here. Please advise.

Back to two points from your message….

First, it is true that big civil society networks and organisations are out
of the IGF. Their absence is one of the major weaknesses of the IGF. In
addition, it remains to be seen if the IGF community will respond
proactively to the new wave of grassroots organisations which are
articulating concerns regarding data, privacy, identity, and other issues
that have come into focus during our shift to online due to COVID-19.

Second, governments (and parliaments) should adopt laws and make public
policy decisions as the US White House did on the WTO patent waivers during
pandemics. The policy confusion should be reduced by having clarity on the
core functions of each actor: governments (public policy), businesses
(providing services for society and fostering innovation), and civil
society (making sure that governments and businesses are not ‘carried away’
by their respective powers in the digital realm).

If there is shared clarity on the core functions, we can develop all other
forms of multistakeholder consultations and engagement reflecting legal
requirements, technical functionality and the policy reality.

During my work with the UN Panel, I have never heard that the IGF (or IGF
Plus) should become rule/law making organisation.

Best regards,

Jovan

Dear all,

Apologies for the self-promotion here.

Last year I launched an Internet governance history podcast, [POWER PLAYS](https://www.powerplays.xyz), which has been interviewing the movers and shakers responsible for making/negotiating/contributing to key decisions that continue to impact the Internet's infrastructure and institutions.

I have personally enjoyed hearing and learning from the anecdotes and stories that these Internet pioneers have to offer. And I think you might too. Here are links to the most recent conversations I've had:

- Esther Dyson, who chaired the ICANN Board from 1998 to 2000, and who Wired described as the most powerful woman in computing, on why she thinks ICANN has become a "protection racket": https://www.powerplays.xyz/podcast/s1-e8

- Richard Hill, who spent a decade with the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) dealing with numbering and tariffing issues, network operations, and economic and policy issues, on why he is not convinced the ITU can reinvent itself to stay relevant: https://www.powerplays.xyz/podcast/s1-e7

- Sarah Deutsch, who was a negotiator in the negotiations that led to the passage of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, on whether she thinks the DCMA is fit for purpose today: https://www.powerplays.xyz/podcast/s1-e6

- Mance Harmon, the chief executive at Hedera Hashgraph, on how distributed ledger technologies have evolved over time — and why he is skeptical about Bitcoin: https://www.powerplays.xyz/podcast/s1-e5

- Marilyn Cade, a long-time AT&T lobbyist who was instrumental in developing formal governance mechanisms for the Internet's Domain Name System, spoke to me about her professional accomplishments, leadership style, and hopes for the future just a few weeks before her death: https://www.powerplays.xyz/podcast/s1-e4

- Clara Tsao, a senior fellow with the Atlantic Council who previously served as the Senior Advisor for Emerging Technology at the United States Department of Homeland Security, on who is spreading mis- and dis- information: https://www.powerplays.xyz/podcast/s1-e3

- Stephanie Perrin, who led the drafting initiative that resulted in Canada's first piece of privacy legislation to cover the private sector, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, tells the story behind the development of that law: https://www.powerplays.xyz/podcast/s1-e2

- Erika Mann, who represented Germany in the European Parliament from 1994 to 2009, was the rapporteur behind the European Union's eCommerce Directive. This directive is still in force as the legal framework for online services in the European Union's internal market. We speak about how fit for purpose this directive is today: https://www.powerplays.xyz/podcast/s1-e1

You can also 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 listening apps.

Finally, if you know of someone who would make a great interview subject, please consider completing this [super short form](https://airtable.com/shrIcuDu0fI1T4KZP) to add their details to my bank of potential guests. Self-nominations are also welcome. Thank you so much!

Best wishes,

Dear friends,

this email i received from the global ISOC maillist. In the text from 
Andrew Sullivan i read:
"But there remain plenty of people in the world who do not believe in 
the Internet as we do. They do not care for an open, globally-connected 
Internet. They do not want it to be secure, and if they are successful 
the Internet cannot be trustworthy. So, we must keep up our efforts."

1) Many people use the term "Internet". But in reality, they speak about 
an InterStar System and never they like to go in direction to an 
Internet, "the Inter-connection of local Net-works".

2) The consequence ist, that if we follow the ideas for an InterNet, we 
have to focus our view to the local networks in all communities, autonom 
instances with cliensts, servers and connections, and to interconnect 
this local networks. And only this interconnection is then the InterNet.

3) In order to easily connect these local networks, we need to move to 
geophysical addressing and completely end today's virtualisation. Each 
community will then have its own unique address.

3) The internet is a transport system for digital data in packet form. 
It has absolutely nothing to do with the application level. And it 
follows that error checking and correction of the data transmission must 
be part of the transport system and thus TCP and UDP disappear.

4) The internet rests on independent local networks that connect to each 
other. This means that all local decisions are left exclusively to the 
local networks. Only global interaction requires a global language, the 
IP protocol, which has no meaning locally.

5) Again and again we read the nonsense about the need for virtual 
spaces. This is completely uninteresting for the world's population. And 
if the very few want this, then let them make it for themselves.

I know that the essential prerequisites for an internet are data 
transmission in the connections and data processing in the nodes, the 
router points. For this, only a free technology, without private and 
state, helps to give the people in all regions of this planet the 
possibilities to produce these technical systems themselves.

This is where ISOC (Internet Society) and IGF (Internet Governance 
Forum) and all other instances can really make a positive contribution. 
Not more, but not less either.

with many greetings, willi
Asuncion, Paraguay

If we follow this link, we find:

Dear,

In 2019, we outlined our vision for what the Internet Society should 
work towards through 2025. In keeping with the mission established by 
the Board of Trustees, we said we needed to build, promote, and defend 
the Internet. We said we would do that through our efforts to grow the 
Internet and to make it stronger. Together, we have already made a lot 
of progress, as can be seen in our 2020 Impact Report. But there remain 
plenty of people in the world who do not believe in the Internet as we 
do. They do not care for an open, globally-connected Internet. They do 
not want it to be secure, and if they are successful the Internet cannot 
be trustworthy. So, we must keep up our efforts.

Consideration of this wider environment has given us some priorities on 
which to concentrate as we build our plan for 2022:

     While Internet access is growing, it is still growing unequally. 
The pandemic has made it clear to the world how important access is, but 
many people still need help. So, in 2022 we will continue to prioritize 
extending the Internet to communities that do not have it and need it 
most, concentrating especially on building the movement to make sure the 
Internet really is for everyone.
     There is a struggle over the Internet. On one side are global 
corporations who own the environment that many of us depend upon, with 
effective control of some technology markets. This gives them some of 
the power traditionally held by nation-states. On the other side are 
governments using laws and regulations trying to bring these 
corporations to heel. The result is an environment that threatens the 
Internet. So, we will continue to prioritize promoting and defending 
those properties that underpin the Internet as the preferred model for 
network development in 2022.
     Internet users and the transactions they undertake live at a 
complex intersection of privacy and security, and the Internet will 
never be trustworthy as long as communications are not reliably private 
and safe. Yet even as people have lived through a period of sharing 
their most personal details online, forces work to make us less safe by 
ensuring applications remain vulnerable and by undermining end-to-end 
encryption. So, we will continue our emphasis on the importance and 
value of strong encryption.
     Internet shutdowns within countries, either whole or partial, 
continue to undermine the utility and value of the Internet. Other 
countries, even some that used to be Internet advocates, have begun 
imposing restrictions on connections and regulating infrastructure to 
filter content. “Network sovereignty” erodes the Internet’s critical 
properties. So, we will continue our efforts to show how greater network 
resilience is advantageous to all, including those opposed to it.

These priorities continue our efforts to build, promote, and defend the 
Internet. The more we can align our multiple efforts, the greater the 
effect we will have to ensure the Internet is a force for good in society.

Staff efforts are intended to complement the many different things the 
Internet Society community is undertaking. We want to understand whether 
you believe what staff are doing is useful and complementary. We request 
that you take a brief (3 minute) survey to help us:

     Does this priority list align with your own?
     Are we overlooking work the community has already done and 
duplicating it?
     Where might the Internet Society amplify work the community is 
already doing, to make us all more effective?

The results of this survey will be shared with you in August.

The list of priorities is not exhaustive, so there will also be other 
opportunities to talk about things we should be doing together, such as 
the upcoming consultation about Special Interest Groups (June). In the 
meantime, if you have any questions, please contact AP2022 at isoc.org.

The Internet is a shared resource to enrich people’s lives, but it is 
threatened in a way it has not been in the past. To be successful in our 
efforts to build, promote, and defend it, we must work together. The 
real Internet gives humanity so much, if only we will use it for the 
good of all. We hope that through clear prioritization we will realize 
our vision that, truly, the Internet is for everyone.

I have a small question, when and how was the MAG WG on IGF
strengthening and Strategy organised

I am sure there must have been announcements and discussions here that I
might have missed... Thanks, parminder
