SUMMARY:IGF21 | Open Forum #67 Access to the Open Internet
DESCRIPTION:IGF 2021 Open Forum #67 Access to the Open Internet: benefits\, challenges and policy approaches\nIGF 2021 MAIN FOCUS: Universal access and meaningful connectivity \nPractical locally-driven policy solutions: What lessons can be drawn (and how) from successful policy solutions to universal access and meaningful connectivity around the world\, while taking into account local specificities and needs? In particular\, what are the relevant practices implemented by local actors (local government\, civil society\, local providers and entrepreneurs) to advance universal and meaningful access? \nKey questions\nAccess to the Open Internet\, not only telecom connectivity\, is a key challenge to ensure meaningful connectivity and bridge the digital divide. Why does access to the Open Internet matter\, what are the challenges operators\, governments\, and end-users face in rolling out and accessing the Open Internet\, and how to overcome them? What infrastructures and technologies do we need to boost access to the Open Internet? What are the policy approaches and digital cooperation mechanisms to promote the Open Internet globally? \nOverview of the issue\nAllowing access to the Open Internet and the vast array of online services and information it provides should be a central\, inherent component in the global efforts to provide meaningful connectivity to all and bridge the digital divide. The Open Internet is a key driver for innovation\, socio-political\, economic\, and cultural development. It enables people in multiple ways: knowledge- and ideas- sharing\, skills development\, research and innovation\, entrepreneurship\, expression of opinions\, interaction with governments\, participation in societal and political debates\, etc. Trustworthy data flows based on the Open Internet empower small and medium-sized enterprises to enter value chains\, develop new services\, contributing to job and GDP growth. In particular\, ensuring full access to the Open Internet is a real opportunity for developing countries to deliver the above benefits to their citizens in a cost-efficient manner while protecting human rights and fundamental freedoms online. \nOpen Internet deployment faces a number of challenges that might impede fully harvesting the benefits above such as a weaker development of the local Internet ecosystem\, lower connection speeds and service quality\, limited national and international connectivity\, but also government control – including possible internet shutdowns\, loss of privacy and security\, etc. Connectivity policies should then cover the deployment and upgrade of key internet technologies\, standards (e.g. IPv6 for future-proof IP connectivity; QUIC for enhanced data transport\, etc.) and infrastructures (e.g. international connectivity\, Internet Exchange Points\, data centers)\, and provide regulatory support towards building dynamic\, trustful and democratic local Internet ecosystems that can guarantee secure and stable access to the Open Internet. The forum will take stock of current initiatives to develop access to the Open Internet and reflect how effective partnerships between governments\, industry\, and civil society can help developing countries develop Open Internet connectivity for the benefit of all their citizens. \nApproach\nThe sessions will be organised around several interventions from various stakeholders from the public and private sector and from civil society\, from different geographic regions including developing countries and countries providing foreign aid in the digital sector. It will give ample space for interaction with the participants\, in order to provide a broad perspective on the issue and stimulate the discussion. It will aim to explore the above-mentioned challenges and trigger reflection and constructive approach on how to improve access to the Open Internet as a means for digital development and safe\, prosper and inclusive digital societies. \n\nHow will you design the session to ensure the best possible experience for the online and on-site participants? The sessions will be organised in a way that allows interventions both online (chat and Q&A pods) and on-site. The answers would be provided to the full (online and onsite) audience attending the session. We are also in the process of contacting our internal experts to shape the session in the most valuable way. The EC has vast experience in organising online\, on-site and hybrid meetings.\nIf the speakers and organizers will all be online\, how will you ensure interactions between them and the participants (including with on-site participants)? Given that the session would be hybrid\, there will be at least 1 or 2 panelists/speakers present on-site. In addition\, the approach shaped under 1) would take into consideration this question should COVID-related difficulties persist.\nAre you planning to use complementary tools/platforms to increase participation and interaction during the session? The EC will reach out to all its networks and Delegations around the world to promote the session and ensure high-level participation. We have access to and can implement complementary communication tools as appropriate.\n\nOrganizers\nEuropean Commission \nSpeakers\n\nMr. Yoichi IIDA\, Deputy Director-General for G7 and G20 Relations\, Global Strategy Bureau\, Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications\, Japan\nMr. Esteve SANZ\, Head of Sector Internet Governance and Multi-stakeholder Dialogue\, European Commission\nMs. Mame Maty TALL\, Representative of Sonatel\nDr. Raquel GATTO\, IGF Secretariat Consultant\, Policy Network on Meaningful Access Facilitator\n\nOnsite Moderator\nDr. Tereza HOREJSOVA\, Director Project and Partnerships\, Diplo/Geneva Internet Platform \nOnline Moderator\nLaura Ferre Sanjuan\, European Commission \nRapporteur\nVelimira Nemiguentcheva-Grau\, European Commission

SUMMARY:Sustainable Internet Governance & the Right to Development
DESCRIPTION:IGF 2020 Sustainable Internet Governance & the Right to Development\nThis meeting continues groundbreaking work drawing links between environmental sustainability and human rights. Its focus is Article 4 of the Charter of Human Rights and Principles for the Internet in light of the urgent need to identify and rectify the adverse environmental impacts of internet technologies. This meeting will contribute to emerging action plans to ensure that environmental sustainability and the full realization of human rights are cornerstones of internet governance. \nInternet-connected technologies play a vital role in helping to achieve full realisation of human rights. All around the world emerging technologies are contributing to the effort of eradicating poverty\, hunger\, and diseases and promoting gender equality and empowerment of women and youth. Digital technologies are also increasingly central to our current efforts to find solutions to the climate crisis and to promote environmental protection. However in this still highly digitally divided world we live in\, the drive for digital overconsumption is creating unprecedented levels of e-waste\, a burden that affects mostly developing countries with the huge environmental cost\, and the consequent exposure of entire populations to serious health conditions. \nThis year the IRPC meeting will be looking into Article 4 of the Charter of Human Rights and Principles for the Internet  – Right to Development Through the Internet to address how human development and environmental sustainability can be achieved through the Internet\, and will work with representatives from all stakeholder groups to identify the adverse environmental impact of Internet-connected technologies and to help developing solutions to ensure the full realisation of human rights in the online environment. \nMeeting Format\nOpening Remarks and brief introduction to the Internet Rights and Principles Coalition\nMinda Moreira\, co-Chair IRPC \nPresentations from invited SpeakersQ&A from participants\, discussion\, closing remarks \nObjectives of this session:\n\nAddress the major issues arising from the rapid growth of the ICT industry and digital overconsumption in view of the human rights directly affected by resulting environmental hazards\nConsider further the specific impacts on human and sustainable development goals as these intersect with “greening the internet” policymaking.\nBring together representatives of all sectors committed to work on the urgently needed solutions to ensure that next generation of internet-connected technologies enable human development and a sustainable environment for full realisation of human rights.\n\nPolicy questions that this meeting will address include:\n\nHow does the environmental impact of internet-connected technologies affect human rights especially the right to development?\nAs the UN SDGs look to “connect the next billion”\, how can internet policymakers\, designers\, and citizens better respond to the environmental issues arising from the growing energy demands\, manufacturing\, consumption and disposal of internet-connected technologies?\nIn which specific areas can different stakeholders cooperate more closely to work towards environmentally sustainable and human rights-respecting internet futures?\n\nThis session follows up to Coalition’s annual meetings organised at IGF2018 in Paris and IGF2019 in Berlin\, as well the 2019 EuroDIG in The Hague\, and Plenary 4 from the EuroDIG 2020. It is part of the IRPC’s ongoing outreach and dissemination work based on the Charter of Human Rights and Principles for the Internet.

SUMMARY:NGI @ IGF2020
DESCRIPTION:Trustworthy internet technologies against COVID-19\nTechnology has played a key role in the COVID-19 global health crisis outbreak and it will play an even more important role in supporting countries and citizens to overcome the crisis. This session will look at how effective technology-based measures have been in tackling the spread of the virus; how they have ensured the respect of laws and fundamental rights; and what lessons can be learned for the development of trustworthy internet technologies and their use for public policy purposes. \nThe public health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic created an unprecedented global challenge to health care systems and our way of life. Digital technologies have played an important role since the beginning of the crisis outbreak and they will play an even more important role in supporting countries and citizens to manage and overcome the crisis. In response to this emergency outbreak\, the European Commission has taken a series of initiatives to coordinate a common European approach for the use of mobile applications and mobile data in the context of the coronavirus crisis. The European Commission adopted a Recommendation to support Member States in exiting the COVID-19 crisis and supported European Member States in preparing and implementing a common European Toolbox for the use of mobile applications for contact tracing and warning. These instruments were flexible and agile enough to allow the European Union to promptly react and adapt its response to the emergency. Starting from the COVID-19 crisis experience\, this open forum aims at discussing how technologies can play a role in a global health crisis and yet continue to respect human rights and enact principles and values such as privacy\, trust\, openness\, transparency\, decentralisation\, user control and inclusiveness. The session will look at how effective technology-based measures taken in different countries and regions in the world have been in tackling the spread of the virus; how they have ensured the respect of laws and fundamental rights; and what lessons can be learned for the development of trustworthy internet technologies and their use for public policy purposes. The European Commission has also funded several projects developing technologies and apps to fight the COVID-19 outbreak\, notably in the context of the Next Generation Internet (NGI) programme. The open forum will be the occasion to present to the audience concrete projects and to reflect on lessons learnt and way forward. \nModerators:\n\nMonique Calisti\, CEO and Head of Martel Media and Consulting\, NGI Outreach Office Director\nEsteve Sanz\, European Commission\n\nSpeakers:\n\nGemma Carolillo\, Deputy Head of Unit\, Next-Generation Internet\, DG CNECT\nDirk-Willem van Gulik\, Special advisor to NL government for COVID-19 tracing apps\nJelena Malinina\, Digital health\, policy officer at  BEUC\, the European consumer organisation\nHong-Wei Jyan\, Director General\, Department of Cyber Security of Taiwan\, responsible for the development of the apps on COVID-19

SUMMARY:IGF 2019
DESCRIPTION:14th Annual Meeting of the Internet Governance Forum\nThe Internet Governance Forum (IGF) was set up as an open discussion platform of the United Nations for key legal\, political\, social and technical issues relating to the internet. \nThe IGF is designed according to the “multi-stakeholder” model\, meaning that all the relevant societal groups are equally involved in preparations and implementation: from governments\, civil society\, business\, academia\, international organisations and the technical community. This is particularly of note in terms of representatives from developing and newly industrialising countries\, who otherwise tend to be under-represented. \n \nThe forum was established in 2006 by the Secretary-General of the United Nations (UN). The IGF does not make binding decisions\, but only serves in an advisory capacity. The annual meetings are held for the purposes of discussion\, information and inspiration\, with the primary objective of facilitating equitable and constructive dialogue between the various representatives\, and to play a role in shaping debate within the relevant decision-making bodies at a national and international level. \nGlobal trends relating to internet politics\, current draft legislation and established practices are regularly discussed at these meetings. Delegates address topics including future opportunities and challenges presented by the internet\, as well as analysing ways of making full use of the internet’s potential. \nHaving previously been convened in Geneva and Paris\, the 14th Annual Meeting will be held on 25-29 November 2019 at the Estrel Congress Centre in Berlin. \nFor more info\, follow the IGF 2019 on twitter. \n\nThe European Commission is a strong supporter of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF)\, and will be organising several initiatives during the event: \n\nAn interactive Open Forum on the ‘Future Internet Governance Strategy for the European Union’ on Wednesday 27 November\nA booth with information on the Next-Generation Internet.\n\nMore info here: https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/news/internet-governance-forum-2019

SUMMARY:NGI @ INTERNET GOVERNANCE FORUM (IGF)
DESCRIPTION:The twelfth annual meeting of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) will be held in Geneva\, Switzerland\, from 18 to 21 December 2017. \nThe NGI initiative will be presented at the Open Forum and will also have an NGI Booth. \nNGI Booth\nThe NGI booth will be a central hub of NGI activities at the IGF’2017. The Open Forum will be promoted and people invited to participate and provide their views and feedback. During the Open Forum we will in turn try to validate the inputs received from participants at our booth/stand.\nNGI activities taking place at the NGI Booth: \n\nDay 1 – Visit of the Commissioner to the NGI booth\nDay 1 – Come and leave your video testimonial at the NGI booth\nDay 1-3 – Provide your views and feedback – Come and join us at the Open NGI Forum.\n\nOpen Forum 72- Next-Generation Internet\nWednesday 20th\, 12.20-13.20 (Room XXIV-E) \nThe Internet is at the core of our socio-economic development. However in the last years we witnessed an increasing level of distrust towards Internet technology. In order to re-establish trust in the users and boost socio-economic growth\, the Internet of the future will have to deliver more to the users. Therefore we have to build it around common and shared values that will put humans at the center of technology development.\nThe European Commission has launched the Next Generation Internet initiative\, to support the development of a human-centric Internet around core European values. This Internet of Values will also contribute in shaping Internet Governance for the next decade and the Open Forum will be the perfect venue to present the initiative on the Internet Governance global scene. \nIn the context of this year IGF\, which will take place in Geneva from the 17th to the 21st of December\, we will host an Open Forum on the Next Generation Internet initiative on the 20th of December. The Open Forum format is interactive in nature with the audience being fully involved: there will be live feedback both on line (via the twitter page\, the Facebook page and via an app that will show real time users’ comments on a tablet screen) and on site. \nDifferent speakers will contribute to the panel.  A very important contribution to the discussion will be provided by the Internet Society. In their annual Global Internet Report\, in fact\, ISOC presented the results of a consultation on the future of the internet\, that they run in parallel with our consultation exercise. The results confirm the trends: 1) the trust of users towards internet technologies is decreasing. 2) concerns about security 3) emerging relevance of IoT and AI. We are considering also to invite two experts in the area of data protection/privacy and distributed architecture. Both of which are topics that are on our current ICT-24 call. We will then present the on-going ICT-24 Call in more details. \nThe NGI Study conducted by NLNet and Gartner will also be presented during the Open Forum\, the panellist will introduce the methodology they used and the topics identified so far for the Work Programme 2019 and the feedback received for the long-term NGI vision. The results will also be presented in order to receive feedback from the audience on the identified topics. \nOnsite moderation\nValentina Scialpi\, European Commission \nSpeakers\nFrédéric Donck\, Internet Society\nClementine Valayer\, Gartner \nOnline moderation\nFulvia Menin\, European Commission \n
