Invitation to join open consultation on internet security
by Wout de Natris 28 Aug '23

28 Aug '23

Dear colleagues, One of the fastest ways to achieve a higher level of internet and ICT security may be through buying secure by design, but do governments and companies do so? This is what IS3C tries to establish. This is the background: The Internet Governance Forum Dynamic Coalition on Internet Standards, Security and Safety will publish its report at the upcoming IGF in Kyoto. It's draft report aims to document existing policy requirements for public sector procurement contracts and supply chain management of digital technologies and asks whether security-related technical internet standards and ICT best practices are mentioned. It highlights emerging best practice and gaps in an effort to provide high-level guidance at the global level on how procurement plays a role in improving the security and safety of the global internet for all. We close with discussion and suggestions for future work. The document’s current status is open to feedback. We invite you to join this open consultation and share your views and to share links to policy documents, public or private on this topic not mentioned in the report. The deadline is Friday 25 August, 24.00 UTC. You can access the draft report for comments here: https://intgovforum.org/en/content/dynamic-coalition-on-internet-standards-… Kind regards, Wout de Natris IS3C coordinator - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - De Natris Consult Kamerlingh Onnesstraat 43 Tel: +31 648388813 2014 EK Haarlem Skype: wout.de.natris denatrisconsult(a)hotmail.nl<mailto:denatrisconsult@hotmail.nl> http://www.denatrisconsult.nl Blog http://woutdenatris.wordpress.com

ICANN and Others Upset Again
by Michele Neylon - Blacknight 24 Aug '23

24 Aug '23

ICANN, ARIN and APNIC seem to be upset with the UN: https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/the-global-digital-compact-a-top-dow… What’s notable is the absence of any of the other RIRs, which leads me to think that they probably don’t support the position taken. Also if the statements from the UN representative were such an affront why did it take them two months to pen this rather ridiculous blog post which reads like them whinging about not being taken seriously enough… -- Mr Michele Neylon Blacknight Solutions Hosting, Colocation & Domains https://www.blacknight.com/ https://blacknight.blog/ Intl. +353 (0) 59 9183072 Direct Dial: +353 (0)59 9183090 Personal blog: https://michele.blog/ Some thoughts: https://ceo.hosting/ ------------------------------- Blacknight Internet Solutions Ltd, Unit 12A,Barrowside Business Park,Sleaty Road,Graiguecullen,Carlow,R93 X265,Ireland Company No.: 370845 I have sent this email at a time that is convenient for me.

Re: [cooperation-wg] cooperation-wg Digest, Vol 132, Issue 3
by Wout de Natris 23 Aug '23

23 Aug '23

Good day, colleagues, In answer to Michele's question. The only difference I can think of, is that many people did not want/were not allowed to travel to Ethiopia due to the political/safety situation or a combination of both. As sessions can be organised in a hybrid fashion, this may not explain a doubling of proposals in one year. Thus I tend to agree with Chris, as a lot of attention is pulled towards internet governance because of the U.N. deliberations and the fear of a government takeover of internet governance, which may become a reality in 2025. The more reason to work hard at proving/showing the added value and effectiveness of the multistakeholder model and I mean this in the broadest sense, not just the IGF. That is up to all of us....

As the primary (perhaps only) multistakeholder space in the UN for discussing these issues, the IGF is an opportunity to prevent discussion and decision-making around these issues from being completely drawn into the multilateral political space (and making sure that the Internet technical community, alongside civil society and private sector interests, have a seat at the table!). If you have any questions about this year?s even in general, or any specific sessions, feel free to reach out - hapy to help or explain where I can!

RIPE NCC Internet Country Report: Central Europe
by Suzanne Taylor 20 Jun '23

20 Jun '23

Dear colleagues, Today we published the next in our series of RIPE NCC Internet Country Reports, this time focusing on the Internet landscape in four countries in Central Europe: Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia: https://labs.ripe.net/author/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/ripe-ncc-internet-countr… We examine the major market players and level of competition, Internet number resource holdings, IPv4 transfers and IPv6 readiness to understand the history and current state of Internet development in this region as well as its capacity for future growth. We also analyse the region's resilience and stability by mapping the relationship between different networks in the countries, international connectivity to the global Internet, access to K-root, traffic paths and routing security. The RIPE NCC produces these country reports in order to support Internet development and inform discussion among technical communities and policymakers throughout our service region. I hope you’ll find it an interesting read. Please share the report with your colleagues, and as always, we’d be happy to hear your thoughts or to discuss the findings. Best regards, Suzanne _________________ Suzanne Taylor Public Policy & Internet Governance RIPE NCC www.ripe.net <http://www.ripe.net/>

Open Call: IGF MAG Nominations from the Internet Technical Community
by Chris Buckridge 05 Jun '23

05 Jun '23

Dear colleagues, With a very active and interesting couple of years ahead for the Internet Governance Forum (and Internet governance more generally), the Internet Technical Collaboration Group (ITCG) is opening a call for volunteers to represent the Internet technical community on the IGF Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG). The MAG serves primarily as a Programme Committee for the annual IGF event, while also advising on the strategy and direction of the IGF, and working closely with the Secretariat. Since the early 2000s, the IGF has embodied the UN’s commitment to a multistakeholder approach to Internet governance, ensuring that stakeholders (like the Internet technical community) have a seat at the table and a voice in global governance processes. With some important discussions upcoming (including a 20-year review of the UN World Summit of the Information Society, which gives the IGF its mandate), maintaining a strong commitment to that approach is very important! Details of the open call are available on the ITCG website: https://www.internetcollaboration.org/2023/05/itcg-call-for-nominations-202… The nomination form is here: https://www.internetcollaboration.org/2024-igf-multistakeholder-advisory-gr… I am a current member of the MAG, so please feel free to reach out to me with any questions (or grab me in the corridor during this week’s RIPE Meeting in Rotterdam), particularly about time and work expectations. Best regards, Chris —— Chris Buckridge Advisor to the Managing Director, Global Strategic Engagement RIPE NCC

Wikimedia Europe and RIPE (Fwd: [WMEU updates] VLOP designation of Wikipedia under the DSA)
by Željko Blaće 25 May '23

25 May '23

Dear RIPE.net Collaboration working group, after meeting some of you at RIPE#86 meeting and talking to your chair Desire Milosevic, I am making a second effort in trying to connect RIPE and Wikimedia, now with more specifically Wikimedia Europe that has been recently formally recognized as a legal entity and not just a advocacy group (as it used to be for many years in Brussels) supported by Wikimedia Germany and other affiliates. Here is the most recent Wikimedia Europe update where I think our shared focuses overlap and could maybe benefit from inter-personal or inter-organizational coordination. As both organizations make strong efforts to work in maximum transparency to its communities and general public, as well as for the equality and benefit of all Internet users I am sure this will be possible to do in the near future and around shared urgencies. Best Z. Blace ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Dimi Dimitrov <dimi(a)wikimedia.be> Date: Fri, Apr 28, 2023 at 9:30 AM Subject: [WMEU updates] VLOP designation of Wikipedia under the DSA To: <updates(a)wikimedia-europe.eu> Hi all, The European Commission has designated Wikipedia as a Very Large Online Platform. This is no surprise and is based on the user numbers the WMF has published for the EU ( https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Legal:EU_DSA_Userbase_Statistics). We estimate that we have 151 million users in the EU, 45 million would have been required. There are 19 platforms that fall into this category, we are the only not-for-profit. This comes with additional obligations and some bragging rights. With this status I think we can demand high level political attention in Europe. On the obligations, I am copying the monitoring report paragraphs below. Here is also a list of the main points: - The DSA is targeted at the service provider (Wikimedia Foundation), not the community content moderation - The WMF will have to appoint a legal representative in the EU for which it will need to choose a country - The notice & action system means that how a user sends complaints to the WMF is now clear and the stages that follow. - The WMF will have to do annual risk assessments for systemic risks and mitigation reports based on them - The WMF will need to find an auditor to control the risk assessment and mitigation measures - The WMF will need to publish its EU user estimate every three months - The WMF will have to pay a VLOP fee to the European Commission - The WMF is expected to contribute to the EU's moderation decision database - The WMF will need to demonstrate how it protects minors on Wikipedia I am available for additional questions, statements or interviews. Below is the monitoring report section for more detail. Phil Bradley-Scmieg, the WMF lawyer who is based in Europe and working on this can also be reached by email or on the public policy mailing list. === Digital Services Act === WE ARE VLOP. Officially. [1] For those less acquainted with EU terminology: Wikipedia has been designated as a Very Large Online Platform by the European Commission, which means that the WMF will have to comply with the strictest obligations under the Digital Services Act, including regular risk assessments for systemic risks (including things like public health, kids’ safety and freedom of expression), publishing mitigation measures based on them, and then undergoing an external audit. Wikipedia is the only not-for-profit service that has been designated as a VLOP; the other 18 are for-profit. — This is a chance for Wikimedia to demonstrate that compliance with such rules can be done in a manner that respects user rights and keeps communities - not the platform operator - in the driving seat. The Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) is working on compliance and dedicating significant resources to this. The challenges are serious too. If regulators cannot be convinced that Wikipedia is properly addressing “systemic risks”, like election manipulation, then WMF and the community will be challenged to find additional responses to that. There’s also substantial “bureaucracy”: VLOP designation means that the WMF needs to appoint a legal representative in the EU. It needs to adjust internal processes so they are in line with the new “notice & action” framework, it has to set up a process on how to conduct risk assessments and mitigation reports (annually, and before making significant changes to things), and to find an appropriate auditor who will grill it on all of these things. — VLOPs are also expected to contribute to the European Commission’s moderation decision database (though whether and how such a database can comply with EU privacy laws, remains to be seen). Plus, there remains the not inconsequential task of ensuring all of the other Wikimedia projects - such as Commons - comply with the DSA’s more general rules. That’s a lot of work - and so is convincing the regulators to not forget our model when they’re writing the guidance and implementing rules - and it is handled by very lean teams (as openly and collaboratively as they can manage - witness the TOU update <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Legal_department/2023_…> ).
