The Internet, its Governance and (Architectural) Challenges Markus Kummer Geneva, 17 September 2012

The Internet Society Global Internet Policy at the Crossroads In recent years we note two contradictory trends: Increased recognition of the Internet model (multistakeholder, bottom-up collaboration); Increased efforts of governments to control some aspects of the Internet (security!) that could affect the very nature of the Internet; There is a risk that precipitous decisions could hamper the Internets full potential as an engine for innovation and and growth. 2

The Internet Society The reason behind the success of the Internet The Internet is successful in large part due to its unique model of development and deployment: A common set of values and processes: Open technical standards Shared global ownership – no central control Collaborative engagement models – researchers, business, civil society, government – expertise driven Freely accessible processes for technology and policy development Transparent and collaborative governance based on multi-stakeholder involvement (the Internet Ecosystem) 3

The Internet Society The changing shape of the Internet We have 2 billion connected, 4 billion more to come online. Those yet to be connected will create both new opportunities and new challenges for the Internet as we know it. The majority of the growth will come from the non-English speaking world: (China, India, Russia, Brazil, Africa). 4

The Internet Society The Internet of the future The Internet will be more multilingual: Domain names based on non-western characters The new Internet users will have different cultural and societal views and values: This will influence the global policy debate and policy making Technological challenges: The huge growth in scale and the growing prevalence of mobility 5

The Internet Society Internet governance: historic overview Key year: 1998 Hands-off approach: - OECD: Ottawa Ministerial - WTO Ministerial - Incorporation of ICANN Governmental approach: - ITU Plenipotentiary in Minneapolis: decision to hold a World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) 2003: WSIS-I: Government take-over bid failed, instead agreement to do some fact-finding --> Working Group on Internet Governance (WGIG) 6

The Internet Society Internet governance after WSIS WSIS II in 2005 validated the Internet model - yes, but : conclusion: there is room for improvement… Two intertwined tracks: -Enhanced cooperation - Platform to discuss public policy issues related to the Internet: The Internet Governance Forum (IGF). Six IGF meetings so far. Successful model of multistakeholder cooperation in building a common understanding of potential problems and possible solutions! Regional & national IGF initiatives in all continents help spread understanding for the multi-stakeholder model. 7

The Internet Society IGOs adapting to the Internet model 2008: OECD Seoul Ministerial Meeting: Endorses multistakeholder model and opens meetings for civil society and the Internet technical community. 2009: Council of Europe Reykjavik Ministerial meeting: Embraces multitakeholder model for its future work on Internet governance. 8

The Internet Society Internet governance: recent developments 2010: - UNGA renews IGF Mandate - CSTD WG on IGF improvements High level principles supporting the Internet model endorsed by: 2011: - Deauville G8 Meeting / Declaration - OECD High-Level Meeting - London Conference on Cyberspace - Hague Ministerial Conference on Internet Freedom 2012: - UNHRC Special Session on Human Rights and the Internet - CoE Ministers adopt Internet Governance Strategy 9

The Internet Society Internet governance 2012 Six tracks: Three cross-cutting tracks of politics trying to come to terms with the new medium: - General (UN/IGF) - Security (UN/NATO/Interpol/CoE/ITU) - Human Rights (UNHRC) Three tracks where the Internet challenges existing business models: - Regulatory (ITU) - Architecture (IETF/ITU) - Digital Content (ACTA/WIPO) 10

The Internet Society Digital Content SOPA/PIPA/ACTA: Clash between borderless technology and a traditional business model. Ongoing debate. Bottom line: need to ensure that we can maintain the elements that have made the Internet such a success to date: It is user-centric and user-driven – the user shapes the Internet It allows for innovation without permission. It does not place unnecessary (behavioral) burdens on Internet bodies, such as Intermediaries. 11

The Internet Society Freedom-Innovation-Openness: The EU Position ACTA was a Wake-Up Call! […] Now we need to find solutions to make the Internet a place of freedom, openness, and innovation fit for all citizens, not just for the techno avant-garde. (EU Commissioner Kroes) 12

The Internet Society The Internet Societys view Online equals offline (wherever feasible) Depending on the service they provide, the role of Intermediaries is : to facilitate the functionality of the Internet, the platforms it supports and the services that run through its interconnected network. Intermediaries are not meant to police Internet content (and behavior). They have important economic and social roles to play! 13

The Internet Society Types of Intermediaries A.Hosts of virtual worlds (e.g. Second Life) B.Online Market Places &Auction Houses (e.g. eBay) C.Search Engines (e.g. Google) D.Social Media Sites (e.g. Facebook) E.Coffee Shops (acting as ISPs) F.Online Game Platforms (e.g. World of Warcraft) G.Internet Service Providers (e.g. Swisscom) H.User-Generated Sites I.Domain Name Registries/Registrars 14

The Internet Society Economic Role 1.Provide infrastructure; 2.Collect, organize and evaluate disperse information; 3.Facilitate social communication and information exchange; 4.Aggregate supply and demand; 5.Facilitate market processes; 6.Provide trust 7.Take into account the needs of buyers and sellers of users and customers 15

The Internet Society Social Role 1.Enable wider ICT-related growth and productivity; 2.Investment in Infrastructure; 3.Entrepreneurship and Employment; 4.Innovation; 5.Trust & User Privacy; 6.User/Consumer Empowerment and Choice; 7.Individuality, self-expression, democracy and social relationships. 16

The Internet Society Conclusion Change is inevitable, as more billions come online. The increased importance of the Internet for all countries makes the increased involvement of governments inevitable. Increased government involvement will lead to increased political pressure. The economic weight of the Internet will lead to increased economic pressures. Not all governments, not all corporations are comfortable with the Internet as it is. While changes will happen, our mission is to defend the essential characteristics of the Internet: - its open architecture; - its open and collaborative governance model; and, The neutral behavior of intermediaries is part of these characteristics. 17

The Internet Society Conclusion Dont take the Internet for granted! There are economic and political pressures that could change the Internet forever. But … - the users are the Internet, and they are ready to speak up for the Internet they want! 18
