This group previously formed two subgroups: one on backbones, focused on Internet backbone security and the other on Internet access providers.41 Shortly after its creation in 1996, the Grupo de Segurança de Redes produced a document recommending that an independent Brazilian national centre for network security coordination be created.42 This resulted in the establishment of the NIC BR Security Office (NBSO) further discussed in Section 5.5.

Microsoft PowerPoint - Enabling Environment.IGF.20.05.2008.ppt
Creating an Enabling Environment
WSIS Facilitation Meeting on Action Line C6, the Enabling Environment
20 May 2008
Markus Kummer Executive Coordinator Secretariat of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) http://www.intgovforum.org
http://www.intgovforum.org 2
The Internet Governance Forum (IGF) • Result of Second Phase of WSIS • Convened by the UN Secretary-
General • Forum for multi-stakeholder
dialogue • Mandate to discuss public policy
issues related to the Internet.
http://www.intgovforum.org 3
What the IGF is NOT:
• …not a new organization; • …not a decision-making body; • IGF has no power of redistribution.
http://www.intgovforum.org 4
What the IGF is:
• ‘Soft governance’ approach. • IGF has the power of recognition:
– can identify issues of concern; – can draw attention to an issue; – can put an issue on the agenda of
international cooperation. • Can shape public opinion and
decision making.
http://www.intgovforum.org 5
Multistakeholder dialogue All participate as equals, everybody can have a say:
• Governments • Intergovernmental organizations • Internet institutions • Private Sector • Civil Society • Academic and Technical
Communities
http://www.intgovforum.org 6
IGF Themes Five broad themes:
–Access –Diversity –Openness –Security –Critical Internet Resources
http://www.intgovforum.org 7
Two priorities: • Development:
– Internet governance for development.
• Capacity-building: – Capacity to improve access to the
Internet; – Capacity to engage in Internet
policy discussions and decision- making.
http://www.intgovforum.org 8
National policies • Much of the IGF discussion deals with
international factors. • However: National policies are
important. • Enabling environment is a key factor
to allow for development and deployment of the Internet.
http://www.intgovforum.org 9
Policy Coherence •Need for policy coherence at all
levels: – International –Regional –National => International coordination needs to build on coordination at the national level!
(...) • Not through negotiations on a
common framework… • …but through exchange of
information and • sharing of “best practices” on
“Internet friendly policies. • No “one size fits all” solution! • Different solutions adapted to
different needs.
http://www.intgovforum.org 11
Best practices ‘Enabling environment issues’: • National policies, including
multistakeholder cooperation; • Management of ccTLDs; • Cyber security and cyber crime; • Protection of children; • Multilingualism; • Access for people with disabilities;
http://www.intgovforum.org 12
Integrated approach • Emerging from the IGF discussions: • National policies need to be based
on an integrated approach (“integrated regulatory framework”).
• Telecom infrastructure, Competition, Prices, Rates, Power supply, Tariffs and Taxations need to be coherent to enable Internet availability and growth.
http://www.intgovforum.org 13
Regional and National IGFs • Emerging interest in creating national and
regional IGFs. • Examples include:
– UK – Senegal – Italy – European Parliament encouraging the
organization of ‘European IGF’ before mid-2009.

Anyone who doubts the escalating impact of the Internet economy should glance at a recent study by the University of Texas. (...) Increasingly, doing business over the Internet is being recognized as a phenomenon that is transforming the business world itself. (...)

The parents feel sometimes deprived in front of Internet in particular when they have not a tool of protection which constitutes an indispensable but not the unique support of risk prevention on Internet.
(...) Thus Algerian people can connect to Internet via 7000 spaces of Internet access (cybercafés and libraries) and we aim in the frame of the “e-Algerie” ICT strategy to reach 6 million of internet subscribers by 2013.
(...) Several actions planned
· the supply of a parental control solution
· Set up an awareness campaign with participation of Algerian sportsmen (women) or fame personalities esteemed by the young people.
· Coordination and exchange experiences through opened doors, radio and broadcast reports and as well as press articles.
· Create a toll-free number to allow people and particularly children to report abuses or cybercriminal acts
· Integrate the contents of the Internet Charter (some rules and good manners) as educational unit in the primary, average and secondary education program.
· Encourage the creation of themes in connection with rules of use of the Internet in plays, tales and Comics intended to children
· Special action for Cybercafés
Cybercafés remain the only point of access to Internet for many citizens.

No longer will the Internet be only about people, media, and content, but it will also include all real‐world assets as intelligent creatures exchanging information, interacting with people, supporting business processes of enterprises, and creating knowledge.
