1st EINS Review, Brussels, 12th April, 2013 Overview of Work Performed/Achievements  D4.1 overview delivered on time at M12.  Progress accelerated significantly and satisfactorily over the second half of 2012,  Teamwork has been significantly enhanced  recruitment of Zevenbergen in Sep 12.  Coordination with other JRAs also accelerated significantly in Q3/Q JRA4

1st EINS Review, Brussels, 12th April, 2013 Deliverables & Meetings 1. D4.1 delivered in M12 – 1. Authors Marsden, Powell, Pavan, Merzouki, edited Zevenbergen 2. Inaugural EINS 22 Dec’11 3. Plenary EINS 9 April 1. remote MP3 by Chris Marsden, discussion led by Heiko Niedermeyer on behalf of SEA2/JRA4. 4. Oslo workshop (Bygrave) 21 August with JRA5 5. Summer School Oxford August Workshop Turin 10 Sept D4.1 Nov 2012 framework, meeting fortnightly in London JRA4

1st EINS Review, Brussels, 12th April, 2013 Links with other WPs/projects  Marsden joined Executive Board in July 2012 (replacing Brown, OXF),  acted thereafter as an informal sounding board for other JRA leaders and SEA leaders who are not formally represented on the Exec Board.  JRA5 with JRA4 organized a half-day Internet Science workshop on “Technical standards and privacy by design” hosted Oslo Aug 21,  Marsden presented initial work plan and research hypotheses at a seminar hosted by JRA1 leader Kave Salmatian at U.Savoie, 7 Sept.  SEA2’s leader Heiko engaged with JRA4, attending Turin 10 Sept  we hope to progress to joint activities in 2013/14.  NEXA/Sussex/Warwick/others submitted STREPS bid January 2013  Marsden/Powell attended JRA2 workshop ‘Thinking Architecturally’:  provided opportunity to discuss standards participation informally with MIT/USC. Powell blogged her impressions of the workshop on the EINS website at: JRA4

1st EINS Review, Brussels, 12th April, 2013 Future Task R4.2: Repository of governance tools  Development of these tools moves beyond traditional ‘dialogue of the deaf’ interaction  nation states/civil society/expert standards  (e.g. IETF, ETSI, W3C, ITU-T),  Towards understanding of  Needs/requirements for future Internet design  based on broad socio-political buy-in  (or at least better informed acquiescence)  in the design process and outcomes.  Tools to achieve this? JRA4

1st EINS Review, Brussels, 12th April, 2013 Task R4.3: Standards body case studies  Catalogue of standards bodies & functions.  telecoms and Internet standards,  complex interplays and trade-offs between the various bodies and their design choices. Thus, an immediate contrast is evident between the IETF, ETSI and W3C models, for example.  potential legitimacy gap between best practice design and socio-political trust in expert design.  Essential governance questions will be identified throughout the duration of this task meaningful analysis based on the increasingly developing methodologies of this JRA. JRA4

1st EINS Review, Brussels, 12th April, 2013 Case Studies 1. Open hardware standards (Alison/LSE) 2. Internet addressing infrastructure: ICANN and DNS (Lee/Oslo) 3. Open data standards, science commons (NEXA) 4. Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) processes (Kave/Savoie) JRA4

1st EINS Review, Brussels, 12th April, 2013 Template Methodology: EDEKO  Environmental Drivers  Details of standards body process  Enforcement of standards  Key Actors in policy process  Outcomes  policy value-chain driven,  intended to capture dynamic evolution of SSOs.  Previous institutional policy approaches Levy/Spiller (1994), Tambini, Marsden (2008) Price and Verhulst (2000), Marsden, Cave et al (2008). JRA4

1st EINS Review, Brussels, 12th April, 2013 Conclusions  Successful collaborations so far  Joint workshop with JRA5; several joint speaking engagements  Citation score of D4.1 should be maximised  Likely to be most cited report from JRA4  Greater integration can be achieved  For instance with JRA5 and SEA2 (in progress)  Future academic/policy workshops  EuroCPR 2 papers (Marsden/Brown and Powell)  E.g. IGF November 2013, TPRC 2014 JRA4

1st EINS Review, Brussels, 12th April, Environmental Drivers  policy environment and its drivers.  social impact of standards and adoption.  socially successful standards body:  a.entry barriers in its market;  b.network/scale effects that successful technologies deploy;  c.user demand and creation of new markets/solutions;  d.competition for standards. JRA4

1st EINS Review, Brussels, 12th April, Details of SSO technical solutions:  layer at which standards solutions are deployed according to the OSI layers model,  location of deployment and identity of user constituency: manufacturers of routers and other control devices, ISPs as access bottlenecks, servers located with application developers and in Content Delivery Networks, or software clients which operate on users' computers (for instance web browsers) JRA4

1st EINS Review, Brussels, 12th April, 2013 Steps 3-5  3.Enforcement of standards by authors, users and developers, role of governments in attempting to regulate standards in the public interest.  4.Key actors: national, regional and global. Examine legitimacy and accountability, particularly role of multi-stakeholderism.  5.Outcomes from the political economy of each case study, assessed according to 1. transparency of outcome; 2. enforcement of regulatory goals; 3. interoperability as a solution; and 4. efficiency.
