4. Adam Peake: May 21, UN ICT Task Force, Shanghai Internet Governance before and at the Summit Contentious issues: Digital Solidarity Fund Internet Governance Internet Governance: multiple views and confused Strong role for governments and international organizations Continued private sector leadership Reaction against perception of US domination of the Internet

5. Adam Peake: May 21, UN ICT Task Force, Shanghai Summit Outcome: Working Group on Internet Governance No Agreement: UN Secretary General to setup a working group to: Develop a working definition of Internet Governance Identify the public policy issues relevant to Internet Governance Develop a common understanding of the respective roles and responsibilities of all stakeholders Report findings to the Tunis Summit

6. Adam Peake: May 21, UN ICT Task Force, Shanghai Summit Principles for Internet Governance The Internet is a "global facility" (facility = platform?) Principles about Internet Governance and Internet Governance regimes: Multilateral Transparent Democratic And open to the full participation by governments, private sector and civil society Internet Governance test? (does a policy process meet these criteria?)

7. Adam Peake: May 21, UN ICT Task Force, Shanghai ITU Workshop: The Summit Explained February 26-27, Geneva, 30 expert presentations Markus Kummer (chaired Summit negotiations) explained what happened: 2 Camps on 2 issues in the final negotiations Scope: Narrow Definition of the Internet (ICANN and technical issues) Broad Definition on the Internet (Internet pricing and interconnection, spam, network security, privacy and trust, etc.)

8. Adam Peake: May 21, UN ICT Task Force, Shanghai ITU Workshop: The Summit Explained Responsibility: Internet Governance should be handled by an Inter- governmental Organization under the UN (ITU?) supported by mainly developing nations Status quo, the current system works supported by mainly developed nations Positions haven't changed very much Why the working group? WSIS to closed, UN gives the authority of governmental process

9. Adam Peake: May 21, UN ICT Task Force, Shanghai Developing Nation Participation Recommendation from the Workshop keynote was to add a new task for the SG's Working Group: Enabling the meaningful and effective participation of developing nations in ICT policy processes An underlying problem, essential policy is being made, and developing nations are largely absent

10. Adam Peake: May 21, UN ICT Task Force, Shanghai UNICT Task Force Global Forum ITU expert meeting, 30 presentations UNICT TF focused on discussion New York, March 25-26, 300 people (150?) SG Annan: we need to develop inclusive and participatory models of governance Breakout sessions discussing issues from technical infrastructure to ICANN to frameworks on e-trade

11. Adam Peake: May 21, UN ICT Task Force, Shanghai Outcomes of the Global Forum If it Ain't Broken, Don't Fix It (North/Private Sector) Inclusion and Participation (South) One reflects the narrow view of Internet Governance, the other broad

12. Adam Peake: May 21, UN ICT Task Force, Shanghai Broken? If it Ain't Broken, Don't Fix It? ICANN's contract to administer the root servers specifically prohibits ICANN from making any "modifications, additions, or deletions to the root zone file or associated information that constitute delegation or redelegation of top level domains" without permission of the US Department of Commerce. Implications for appearance of TLDs in the root and who runs a ccTLD are significant (my ccTLD may disappear, I can't decide who runs it.)

13. Adam Peake: May 21, UN ICT Task Force, Shanghai Inclusion and Participation The legitimacy of policy making processes, broad and narrow, is being questioned: Many developing nations don't recognize themselves in those processes and their outcomes Enabling effective participation and capacity building in ICT policy making processes is essential, and has been recognized by Marcus Kummer for the working group process

14. Adam Peake: May 21, UN ICT Task Force, Shanghai More and broader issues Internationalized domain names: we must be able to address each other in our own language (implications for the root and its control?) Spam - over 60% of all email. A strong call for an international effort to combat spam (bottom-up not top-down?) Internet interconnection and pricing (ITU process) Cybercrime (model: Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime, strong on crime but weak on human rights and privacy, can the working group fix it?)
