2. Messages to retain Internet is (atypical) freedom and global public resource = ours! Important tool for change: democracy, social, economic (nike.com in Ukraine? – WB stats), well-being (EP Resolution)… …citizenship, inclusion, intercultural dialogue = opportunity for government Freedom is Europe’s identity: (right) to connect, access, seek, receive and impart information and ideas (Art 10 ECHR / 400 )…HRs provide a common starting point = obligation and commitment of government but Careful not to over-regulate! Challenges: cybercrime/attacks, personal data (profiling/knowledge), security (terrorism), health, children, racism = international multi- stakeholder cooperation

3. Internet is dialogue based. Top down models of governing will not be successful. Too big for states to manage alone. EuroDIG example. Dialogue is decision shaping (e.g. NZ) What is the best and worst case scenarios for the Internet in Ukraine?

4. Can a single government cope with the numbers??? 1,733,993,741 Internet users worldwide… …420 million Europe 730 million SNS (42 Europe) / 500 million Facebook 1 billion+ requests YouTube per day = is Internet is all about video? 4.4 billion mobile registrations (3G?)

8. Obligations and commitments “The High Contracting Parties shall secure to everyone within their jurisdiction the rights and freedoms defined in Section I of this Convention (…)” Article 1, ECHR

10. … Internet Freedom (HRC) What freedom to connect, control and manage our identities? (Reykjavik, 2009) New notion of (social) media, internet intermediaries User generated content (ownership?) Public service media governance jurisdiction Online right to reply and effective redress for individuals (control) Internet literacy

11. How will Ukraine address these challenges without dialogue? France (Hadopi)…Turkey (YouTube)…Italy (Google)…Germany (data retention) Private sector advantage - what level of responsibility and buy- in for Ukraine? Erring on the side of freedom over regulation? Privacy and the chilling effect on freedom of expression (tipping point?) Children and the Internet
