IGF 2016: Enabling Inclusive and Sustainable Growth

BPF on Cybersecurity - Creating spaces for multistakeholder dialogue in cybersecurity processes

Time and place:

1630 – 1800 Monday 5th December (Day 0) - Workshop Room 10 (but be sure to check the IGF schedule)

Description:

The purpose of this pre-event session is to have a practical and interactive discussion on how stakeholders can engage in cybersecurity processes and fora, and what expertise, tools and mechanisms can be used to facilitate and encourage multistakeholder approaches to cybersecurity policy-making and norm-setting. 

This pre-event provides an opportunity for the cybersecurity BPF members and others to explore both the cybersecurity landscape and concrete ways of encouraging multistakeholder dialogue on cybersecurity policy matters at national, regional and global levels.

The session will discuss how to build on the increasing calls for cybersecurity policies to be developed in a more open and inclusive manner, such as:

• The Seoul Framework that resulted from the Seoul meeting of the London Process in 2013 states that it is “necessary to continue to work together towards ensuring a trusted, secure and sustainable environment in partnership with multiple stakeholders, including international organizations and the private sector.”
• The 2014 NETMundial Multistakeholder Statement noted, inter alia, that “initiatives to improve cybersecurity and address digital security threats should involve appropriate collaboration among governments, private sector, civil society, academia and technical community.”
• And, the Chair’s statement at the 2015 GCCS meeting in The Hague that urged governments “to ensure that cyber policy at national, regional and international level is developed through multistakeholder approaches, including civil society, the technical community, businesses and governments across the globe.”

This pre-event will leverage the experience of the BPF Cybersecurity and others, and draw upon their experiences of working in and contributing to cybersecurity related processes and policies.   The panellists and discussants will identify where stakeholders been involved in cybersecurity discussions, assess how substantive were those discussions and draw lessons from those engagements.

Speakers:

• Tatiana Tropina, Senior Researcher Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law, Freedom Online Coalition Working Group 1
• Carmen Gonsalves, Head International Cyber Policy, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, The Netherlands, Global Forum for Cyber Expertise Co-chair, Freedom Online Coalition Working Group 1
• Barbara Marchiori de Assis, Cyber Security Project Officer, Organization of American States and

• Walid Al-Saqaf, Member of the Board of Trustees, ISOC
• Matthew Shears, Director Global Internet Policy and Human Rights, Center for Democracy & Technology, Freedom Online Coalition Working Group 1 Co-Chair (session moderator)

The session rapporteur will compile a brief report on the key learnings and approaches drawn from the session that will be shared in the substantive session of the IGF BPF Cybersecurity on 8 December at 9:00am local time.

The role of the Internet in promoting economic and social development is often cited as a reason for the inclusion of Internet-related topics in bilateral and plurilateral trade agreements such as TPP, TTIP, TISA and RCEP. However, the secrecy that clouds the negotiation of such agreements has stoked suspicion and opposition from stakeholders who expect that Internet-related public policy development should, in words of the NETmundial Multistakeholder Statement, “enable the full and balanced participation of all stakeholders from around the globe, and made by consensus, to the extent possible.”

How can this gap be bridged, in practical terms that go beyond grand statements of principle? At the beginning of this year, a network of activists, scholars and industry leaders came together to address this question. The first outcome of that meeting was the release of the Brussels Declaration on Trade and the Internet, which asserts that “Any international rulemaking process that affects the online and digital environment should adhere to human rights and good governance obligations to actively disseminate information, [and] promote public participation”.

A more enduring outcome was the formation of an Open Digital Trade Network as an outcome-oriented platform for collaboration on projects to catalyze specific reforms to trade negotiation processes. This workshop will present some of the most promising (and the most challenging) avenues for such reforms, and invite ongoing collaboration. There is also the possibility, to be discussed at this workshop, that the network could be more formally integrated with the Internet Governance Forum through the formation of a related Dynamic Coalition.

 Dialogue between decision makers and the young: Youth IGF[1] – EU Delegation

Organised by TaC – Together against Cybercrime International & EU DELEGATION to the IGF

Key foreword: Pilar DEL CASTILLO, MEP and Megan RICHARDS, European Commission

Moderators:    Lee HIBBARD, Council of Europe and Sabrina ABUALHAIGA, Youth IGF France

Key questions: Stuart HAMILTON, IFLA and Lee HIBBARD, Council of Europe

Message from:  Lambert 
van NISTELROOIJ, MEP, EU Parliament
Closing remarks:  Julie WARD, MEP, EU Parliament

Remote Moderator:  Marilia MACIEL, DiploFoundation

The main goal of the Open Forum is to make it possible for the IGF community to understand what the young of today are happy with in the world of ICTs, what they feel needs to be improved and what they suggest should be done in the field of the Information Society.

These ideas will allow constructive proposals to be made for better inclusive and sustainable growth in today’s world and the inclusion of the young form an economic and social perspective.

*****

The purpose of this Open Forum is to allow the voice of young people to be heard by Information Society leaders on issues related to internet governance and to help young people to take an active part in decision-making processes. 

 [1]The Youth IGF is a global movement that operates as a multi-stakeholder platform. It allows the young to discuss and take a lead in the field of Internet governance-related issues in the format of local, national or regional debates. The Youth IGF is based on the principles of the UN Internet Governance Forum (IGF) and their full respect. The Youth IGF aims to give teenagers and young people from around the world the opportunity to participate as equal stakeholders in the process of building the Information Society.

With more than half of the world’s population already living in urban areas, it is clear that the path to inclusive and sustainable development must pass through cities. But exactly how cities should organize themselves to advance green growth for all and improve the day-to-day lives of residents remains open to debate. Sustainable urban development is recognized as a key challenge at a global level. The ‘Smart City’ model provides opportunities and challenges for achieving inclusive growth and sustainability. 
Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) is a key enabler for making cities ‘smarter’ and sustainable. With great capacity of gathering, processing, analyzing and disseminating considerable amount of data, ICTs can provide valuable solutions in different sectors of modern cities to improve quality of life, efficiency of urban operation and services, such as enhancing efficient utility resource management, improve public transport systems, provide better education and health services, and etc.
Ideas and experience of leveraging ICTs for smart sustainable cities from developed countries, developing countries, and less developing countries will be shared and discussed in the workshop. With case studies, speakers from multi-stakeholders will address the issues on:
1. How to take advantage of the mobile communication big data for improving urban planning and management. 
2. The best practice of ICT in Smart City model in Europe, sharing the successful experience of making a city smart. 
3. How less developing countries benefits from ICTs taking education as case study.
4. How to build a smart sustainable city with smart mobility.
5. How to practice data policies for smart sustainable cities.

Many issues and challenges associated with ICT and Internet implementation in education are known by policymakers. However, data on the nature and complexity of these issues remains limited because of the lack of good monitoring and evaluation tools and processes. Another problem in this area is the lack of a common set of indicators for ICT and Internet in developing countries. 
If ICTs and Internet are to become effective and integral tools in education, and if accountability is to be demonstrated to stakeholders, monitoring and evaluation must be a priority area of focus. It is also clear that there are equity and gender issues related to the use of ICT and Internet. There is a real danger that uses of ICT and Internet can further marginalize groups already excluded or on the edge of educational practices and innovations. With supportive policies and careful planning and monitoring, ICTs and internet hold out the promise of facilitating greater inclusion of such groups and reaching the SDG’s
ICTs and Internet governance is an important driver for educational reforms, help in anti-corruption efforts, aid in decentralizing education. There are still many policy questions around the adoptions and use of ICT and Internet in education that need attention by all stakeholders. Some of the key policy questions revolve around access, equity, gender, funds, best practices, security etc. This workshop sessions seek to discuss some core issues confronting the adoption, implementation and development of ICTs and Internet in education in the developing countries.

This meeting marks seven years since of the the Internet Rights and Principles Dynamic Coalition (IRPC) and the collaborative work on the IRPC Charter of Human Rights and Principles for the Internet, a document which is now firmly grounded as a working document translated into 9 different languages and used across different stakeholders and around the world to make a clear impact in human rights advocacy for the Internet. 

Considering that human rights should apply online as they do offline (UNHRC 2014), now is the time for concrete discussion on the roles and responsibilities of online service providers and regulators to ensure that human rights  are protected and fulfilled in the online  environment. This meeting will provide an opportunity to discuss local human rights issues and to work on concrete solutions that will protect human rights online.

The first half of the meeting will be a roundtable discussion co-organised by Amnesty International that assembles members of the IRPC, invited Human Rights experts and activists and online services providers representatives and will be covering issues such as cyber harassment and other emerging forms of techno-censorship - in particular the growing trend in orchestrated troll networks on Twitter - and how online service providers, regulators and civil society can manage these threats to ensure the protection of human rights online. A couple of case studies will be presented to open up the roundtable discussion  

The second half will be the IRPC's Annual General Meeting. 

PART I  - Roundtable Discussion: 

IRPC with Amnesty International

"When death threats go viral: defending human rights in the face of orchestrated harassment campaign on social media” 

The panel will focus on the very concerning trend in Mexico, which is also emerging in other countries around the world. We will explore the problem and what can be done about it, looking at the role of social media companies in particular.

Online firms, such as Uber, Safaricom and Alibaba ,are providing new opportunities for businesses, workers and consumers while, at the same time, creating the risk of bringing up new divides, such as between large and small firms, offline and online workers, etc. 

To enable inclusive and sustainable growth in the digital economy, policymakers need to develop new forms of regulations that address the following issues: 

(i) Create a level the playing field between incumbents and new entrants
(ii) Remove regulatory uncertainty in sectors where both online and offline firms deliver the same services; and 
(iii) Prevent the rise of digital monopolies. 

A group of world-renowned experts—from public policy, the technology sector, academia and the development community—will debate the future of competition policy in the digital age. Panelists will share their views on how the race between technology and regulation is likely to play out in the future. The panel will discuss how policymakers can meet these challenges and sketch the main traits of new regulation models in the digital economy.

The GIP is an initiative of the Swiss authorities operated by Diplo. It runs GIP Digital Watch, which encompasses briefings, newsletters, and an observatory. As part of the initiative, GIP hubs have started operating worldwide, as platforms to discuss local and global aspects of IG.

The session provides an update on the initiative, as well as showcases the experience of local hubs and how they contribute to creating synergies among different layers of governance and to strengthening collaboration among stakeholders from the developed and developing world.

The initiative of translating the Geneva Digital Watch Newsletter in different languages fosters multilingual and multicultural IG discussions and contributes to the achievement of SDGs.

The session is relevant to the theme of this IGF, as the local hubs strengthen inclusivity and create interplay between digital policy discussions in Geneva and in other places worldwide and contribute to overcome policy silos.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a trade agreement between the U.S. and 11 other Pacific Rim countries. Its 30 chapters include commitments that touch on various aspects of Internet governance, such as Electronic Commerce, Telecommunications, Cross-border Trade in Services, Copyright and Trademark protection. EFF and other civil society organizations have sharply criticized TPP because of some of its intellectual property protection aspects. Others have claimed that TPP would ban data localization, free up trade in information services, and have a number of other beneficial effects. This panel will feature a discussion among advocates and opponents of TPP ratification, including stakeholders from civil society, business and government. The group will discuss what kinds of things should be in a trade agreement, and what kinds of issues should not be. In an attempt to move beyond polarization, the results of the workshop will contribute to new model text for future Internet-related trade processes, such as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) or the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). This session will not deal with the transparency of trade agreements, but focus on the substance of the agreements and how they would affect trade or Internet governance. Another session will focus on process and transparency of negotiating trade agreements.

Agenda
0-5 minutes: Chinmayi Arun: Introduction to the topic and roundtable participants

5 - 25 minutes: The copyright and trademark aspects of the TPP

In this section the moderator will elicit opening statements from three sides of the issue: 1) Malcolm, who thinks the intellectual property aspects of the TPP are detrimental to Internet freedom; 2) Mueller, who doesn't like the IP provisions but doesn't think they change much and aren't sufficiently bad to make the parties better off without the deal; and 3) Dorantes, who favors the IP provisions. The other roundtable participants and the attendees will discuss and debate these positions.

25 - 45 minutes: The e-commerce and trade in services aspects of TPP

In this section the moderator will elicit opening statements from 1) Burcu, who opposes the agreement, 2) Barayre-El Shami, who will discuss the pros and cons for developing countries, and 3) Aaronson, who favors the agreement. Both will describe the e-commerce and trade in services provisions of the TPP and explain why they favor or oppose them. The other roundtable participants and the attendees will discuss and debate these positions.

45 - 65 minutes: 3) What should be included and not included in trade agreements?

The moderator will call the group's attention to the fact that the subject matter of trade agreements keeps expanding beyond tariffs and nondiscriminatory treatment of foreign products and services to include broader concerns. This part will feature 1) Bramble, 2) Malcolm and 3) Aaronson and discuss the appropriateness of including things like IPR protection and other non-tariff trade concerns in trade agreements. Time permitting, the other roundtable participants and the attendees will discuss and debate these positions.

65 - 90 minutes:

In this part of the roundtable it will open up to comments and questions from the audience and the discussion will be focused on the future of trade agreements in information and communication services generally.

Smart cities are the idea of setting-up interconnected systems to achieve a more optimal, efficient, safe & sustainable urban environment. The ultimate goal is said to benefits citizens and society more widely. Sectors that typically receive an injection of technology are health, traffic, public transport, security, water and electricity infrastructure, the waste management, etc. And for that urban citizen data –masses of data– are needed. That data is systematically collected, stored, analyzed and processed using selected software. And with the Internet of Things, it's no longer just communication devices but it's also home appliances, smart cars, and other types of sensors. This also involves the investment of huge amount of public funds, the strong involvement of the private sector, on which governments rely for delivery, which monetizes the development of technology and collection of big data to create smart cities. The vast quantity of data that amasses over long periods of time raises questions over the cost-benefit and risk analysis and the implication for the exercise of human rights.

Arguments for the use of big data are easy to buy, but the real impact is obscure and has yet to be demonstrated. Where do data sets come from? How do people provide consent given the smart city infrastructure does not seek it? What is the scope of big data in terms of transparency, privacy, security, accountability and even public education? These and many other questions are key to foster societies that are becoming increasingly connected to ensure that innovation does not come at the price of our human rights.

Over two years have passed since the Court of Justice of the European Union ruled, in the Google Spain case, that the search engine must “de-list” certain search results on request in order to honor the requesters’ data protection rights. The policy consequences of that high profile ruling have been felt around the world. This panel will examine how the so-called “Right to Be Forgotten” ruling has been embraced, criticized, and adapted in other countries. In particular, it will ask how different cultures and legal systems have addressed the role of private Internet intermediaries in resolving difficult conflicts between privacy and free expression -- and what lessons can be learned from their experiences. 

This topic highlights a key issue for Internet governance and inclusive and sustainable growth: the role of Internet platforms in defining and enforcing individual Internet users’ rights online. Governments are increasingly turning to these private companies as de facto regulators of a broad swath of speech. The “Right to Be Forgotten” has been a high profile, large scale test case. From this discussion, we can learn what benefits and what costs Internet users have seen, and how to move toward sustainable models going forward.

Connecting the next billion raises questions on the importance of creating an enabling environment. On-going connectivity efforts need to ensure that those coming online have access to a safe, secure and open Internet. Internet governance plays an important role in setting the rules of the game. 

But what happens when some players ignore or bypass these rules?

Over the last few years, there has been increasing evidence that specific agencies and authorities have direct, unimpeded access to data for intelligence gathering and law enforcement purposes without an operational role for telecommunications service providers. Moreover, data held by over-the-top providers and other institutions, such as financial bodies and air operators, may already be a reality.

From a legal perspective, this undermines efforts deployed by multi-stakeholder processes working to ensure that the governance of the internet is in accordance with the rule of law, and respects, protects and promotes human rights. By having direct access there is little or no incentive for governments to go through the existing legal framework to request communications data of their citizens, thus significantly undermining legal safeguards.

From a technology perspective, governments having direct access with or without the knowledge of service providers directly threatens the integrity, security and privacy of communications systems. Especially as compromising security for State purposes almost always compromises security more generally.

What are the legal frameworks which currently permit governments direct access? What are the current surveillance capabilities in place? Who sells this equipment? What are the human rights implications?

The Internet and related information and communication technologies have the potential to play a pivotal role in helping achieving more inclusive innovation and development. The Internet economy can contribute towards inclusiveness in various ways: for example, it can help entrepreneurs and small businesses engage in innovations by facilitating access to information at lower cost, by providing a platform for new businesses opportunities, and by access to new markets.

This workshop looks at challenges faced by innovators and entrepreneurs in the developing countries. The challenges may be access to capital, capacity building, and scaling up projects. How can these challenges be bridged? The workshop will also seek to identify the opportunities available to the entrepreneurs.

The session will start by an overview from Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia Pacific, and Africa on what they have been doing to promote innovation and entrepreneurship within the regions. 

Innovation including in the area of the Internet economy and entrepreneurship plays a central role in development. The workshop will also seek to find ways to ensure that internet innovation is inclusive, giving equal opportunities to all regions in the global south. The aim is to find solutions to realise the UN Sustainable Development goals by bridging the inequality gap, reduce poverty, and improve the living standards in developing countries.

The deliverable of the workshop will seek to find solutions that link to the Sustainable development goals of ending poverty in all it’s form everywhere, and also promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work.

The concept of Smart Cities has attracted considerable attention in the development of urban policies in the Global South. In them, the role of the Internet of Things (IoT) is fundamental: it supports added-value services for the administration of the city and for the citizens.

Smart Cities are presented as the final technical answer that can organize the supposed chaos of cities, which is particularly attractive for large Global South cities, often considered chaotic clusters plagued of violence and ineffective systems. Even more, for some of their advocates in developing countries, Smart Cities and IoT efficiently drive sustainable economic growth, competitiveness and prosperity.

But critical visions assert that the adoption of Smart Cities has been made without an open and democratic discussion addressing relevant Global South’s problems on inclusive and sustainable growth, as: the persistent technological dependence from the North, the weak protection of personal data in the majority of countries, the lack of an affordable and inclusive internet, the evidence that States are trying to control their citizens within the public space, among many other issues.

The way IoT is conceived, adopted and regulated in the context of Smart Cities in the Global South, affects directly or indirectly the sustainable economic growth and the exercise of human rights. This workshop will be the opportunity to expose the nuances of adopting Smart Cities, with an special focus in the challenges on public policies that IoT implies in the context of developing countries with weak democracies.
