A Civil Rights Based Internet: From Brazil to the World
In a bold move, Brazil has given to the world a example - it passed into law the civil framework for the internet called Marco Civil. What are the lessons learned? Can we extract core values and languages from the Marco Civil that should be present in every legislation coming up in the next decade? Is Marco Civil a model to be followed? What is the importance of this mark to the region? What are the "ifs"? Join Brazilian and Latin Americans in this discussion.

This document summarizes issues related to privacy and emerging technologies. It discusses how technologies like body cameras, big data, and the internet of things impact privacy based on international human rights standards. Specific concerns addressed include behavioral marketing, data aggregation, metadata collection, and government surveillance partnerships with private companies. The document advocates that any reforms around these issues must consider the close relationship between companies and governments when it comes to accessing people's personal information.
This document discusses different forms of online surveillance, including user-generated content on sites like Urban Dictionary, modes of surveillance through user accounts and purchase histories, and benefits and criticisms of CCTV cameras. Web 2.0 allows for user-generated content that can be monitored. User data stored in databases allows companies to examine customer interests and target advertising. While CCTV cameras can help reduce crime, they also raise privacy concerns from increased public monitoring.

Artificial intelligence governance in the Obama & Trump yearsAdam Thierer
This document discusses U.S. governance approaches to artificial intelligence (AI) during the Obama and Trump administrations. Both administrations adopted a light-touch regulatory stance and emphasized public-private partnerships to support AI innovation. While their overall visions were similar, the Trump administration placed more emphasis on removing regulatory barriers and focused federal funding on specific technologies like AI and quantum computing. However, the future of AI governance is uncertain as other countries and regions pursue more aggressive industrial policies and regulation could expand in the U.S. as well.
The document discusses trends in internet infrastructure, development, and access. It covers the rise of open source software, user-generated content on platforms, creative commons licensing, and decentralized content production across multiple sites. It also mentions social media, mobile web access, and case studies of companies implementing new approaches.

"Digital.Report+" - expert magazine for ICT policy professionalsVadim Dryganov
This document is the inaugural issue of Digital.Report+, a biannual publication exploring ICT developments in Eurasia and their relationship to political, social, and economic factors. The first issue focuses on debates around internet governance and concerns about the internet's fragmentation due to national security policies. It features several opinion pieces and interviews with experts on issues like internet regulation, cybersecurity, and personal data protection in Russia and other post-Soviet states.
1. The document discusses the history and concepts of internet governance from the early ARPANET days to the present. It covers topics such as technical standards, naming architecture, numbering resources, multistakeholder model, and the IANA transition.
2. Cybersecurity concepts are also summarized, including the goals of information security around confidentiality, integrity and availability. Frameworks for cybersecurity management and defense like ISO 27001 are outlined.
3. Issues related to internet governance and cybersecurity are still evolving through initiatives at the UN and other multilateral organizations to address topics like critical internet resources, capacity building, and access.
This document provides an overview of the RIR system and internet governance. It defines RIRs as independent organizations that manage allocation and registration of internet number resources like IP addresses and AS numbers within different regions of the world. It describes the core functions of RIRs which include receiving large blocks from IANA and distributing them to members, maintaining a registry of allocations, and implementing community policies. It also discusses challenges around fraudulent activity, the multi-stakeholder model of internet governance, and key policy debates around issues like content removal and government access to data.
A presentation on the theory and practice of new web 2.0 tools, in particular from an African perspective. How communication, knowledge and networking has and will continue to change, both in an online and offline context.
In this class we studied the "Internet Freedom" speeches of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and then looked at critiques and counter-arguments made by Evgeny Morozov, Sami Ben Gharbia and Cory Doctorow.
This document discusses privacy and civil rights protections in the digital society. It covers several topics:
- The basic elements that control data, networks, computation, and interfaces and the opportunities and challenges they present regarding issues like big data, identity, algorithms, and more.
- Protection mechanisms like access control, algorithm auditing, and oversight boards.
- How public policy around online content regulation has shifted control deeper into networks and infrastructure, with unintended consequences.
- The shifting power dynamics between states, companies, and individuals as relationships change from citizens to consumers.
- International principles and business/multistakeholder initiatives around these issues.
The document discusses issues around internet censorship including the controversies surrounding censorship and differing views on whether restricting certain materials benefits society or limits freedom of expression. It also outlines the mission of the Global Network Initiative to respect freedom of expression and privacy through frameworks to ensure accountability of internet and communication technology companies. The debate around internet censorship and what role, if any, governments should play in regulating online content remains ongoing.

Internet governance and the filtering problemsTan Tran
This document provides an overview of internet governance and filtering. It defines internet governance as the development and application of shared principles, norms, rules and procedures that shape the evolution and use of the internet. It discusses various authorities involved in internet governance like ICANN and ISOC. It then defines internet filtering and the different types of content filtered. It discusses the global status of filtering for political, social and security content. It highlights problems with internet filtering like effects on performance and ethics. It concludes there is a need for improved cooperation and standards set by an independent organization.
This document summarizes the governance of critical internet resources (CIRs) such as IP addresses and domain names. It describes how control over CIR allocation and distribution was historically centralized under the IANA function and is now coordinated by ICANN and regional organizations. Tensions exist internationally over control of CIRs due to their importance for internet access and operation. The document outlines the technical resources that require governance and discusses ongoing public policy issues related to CIR governance systems.
Social media: Legal and business challengesPaul Jacobson
This is a presentation for the IT Governance Forum which ran between 24 and 27 November 2009. My goal was to highlight concrete risks that social media poses and some of the ways to address those risks.
The patron asked about threats to privacy from RFID chips in passports and what real people are saying online. The librarian performed a search on Kartoo, a metasearch engine, restricting results to blogs and forums. The top 10 results included discussions on disabling RFID chips, security risks, petitions to remove chips, consumer advocacy information, and reactions to news articles on e-passports. While the sources were older, they provided a variety of perspectives from the public to adequately address the patron's question.

Socialize Conference Toronto 2012 - FaceBook Marketing: Adler Law Group
The use of social media for marketing and advertising purposes is one of the fastest growing areas for business and marketers. The advent of social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+ and others provides the opportunity for authentic interaction and engagement with customers. But with every technological development and opportunity, new legal and business risks present themselves. Understanding and minimizing these risks will help you maximize the opportunities.
A best practices approach to social media marketing involves having the company's philosophy, methodology, and guidelines captured in a comprehensive written policy that is clearly and regularly communicated to the employees, and regularly updated to keep abreast of new developments, opportunities and evolving legal guidance.
This document summarizes a presentation on Facebook marketing and legal/regulatory compliance in Canada and the U.S. It discusses Canada's privacy laws, cases related to social media and privacy, and new developments. Key points include that Canada has a mix of federal and provincial privacy laws, the OPCC has investigated Facebook's practices, and the FTC has taken action against companies like Facebook and Twitter for deceiving consumers. Privacy rights continue evolving with potential new regulations in both countries.

2:00-3:30 Session VI: Can We Measure Internet Openness? If so, what does that...Carolina Rossini
This document summarizes findings from research analyzing the economic and social impacts of increased broadband access and adoption in Latin America. The research finds that greater broadband penetration is associated with higher levels of economic activity, as measured by tax revenues and the number of firms in municipalities. The positive impacts are seen for both household and corporate broadband adoption. The research also finds that increased broadband connectivity in municipalities is associated with higher household incomes, especially for those who adopt broadband services. However, the impact on employment is found to be inconclusive. While local externalities from broadband are present, the effects are significantly higher for individuals and households that adopt broadband.

This document discusses the importance of open innovation and managing intellectual property to support a knowledge commons. It notes that open innovation recognizes the value of widespread knowledge and the need to incentivize secondary markets. Both firms and governments need to manage IP in a way that supports open sharing of knowledge and the growth of secondary markets. The document also discusses learning from open infrastructure like the internet and exploring how to "port" similar infrastructure to support open innovation. It emphasizes that managing knowledge is more important than just managing IP.
Sif14 How Trade Agreements Mess Up with Internet Freedoms Carolina Rossini
How Trade Agreements Mess Up with Internet Freedom
Time and time again, abusive copyright provisions have been successfully reproduced to multiple trade agreements. These binding instruments are expanding to cover core topics that traditionally were part of the broader internet governance sphere. The impact of these provisions on human rights and Internet are disastrous, but so few are paying attention. Forum shopping and policy laundering are happening at alarming rates as unpopular policies that would likely fail in national public forums are being cycled through non-transparent international negotiations that do not have the same standards of democratic oversight. Clear examples are the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement, Korea-US trade agreement, the Canadian-EU Trade Agreement (CETA) and the Transatlantic Partnership. But the list goes on.
In a world of policy laundry and forum shopping, this panel aims to identify the challenges ahead for public interest organizations and build a strategy, created through dialogue, on how we should deal with the issues that will arise from these agreements.
Speakers will provide perspectives from different countries, but will foster debate on what could be core coordination and strategy efforts

El documento trata sobre el tema de la ciberseguridad. Explica brevemente algunas definiciones clave como ciberespacio e incidentes de ciberseguridad importantes como el caso de Estonia. Luego discute los debates y esfuerzos internacionales sobre políticas de ciberseguridad en organizaciones como la ONU, OEA e ITU, así como iniciativas a nivel nacional de diferentes países de América Latina. Finalmente, menciona algunos desafíos pendientes en materia de ciberseguridad en la región.
The Collaboration Project: Building Open, Participatory and Collaborative Gov...Franciel
This document discusses how government can build a more open, participatory and collaborative model using Web 2.0 technologies. It argues that government should engage citizens and stakeholders by pulling them into the process rather than just pushing information out. Examples are given of how tools like wikis, blogs and social networks can foster more transparency, collaboration and civic participation. The document concludes by recommending that government build an open infrastructure, treat data as a national asset, and create a culture of collaboration.
Scrutiny in the spotlight: Networked Councillors and the Scrutiny processCatherine Howe
The document discusses the role of networked councillors in the scrutiny process. It begins by defining a networked councillor as an effective community leader in the digital world. It then explores some digital tools that councillors can use, such as blogging, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. The document suggests ways these tools could be utilized in scrutiny processes, such as opening up the agenda setting and evidence gathering. It provides examples of how scrutiny is currently using social media and digital tools in innovative ways in some local councils. Finally, it poses discussion questions about how councils could develop more networked approaches to scrutiny.

Catherine at LGComms Academy – Beyond communications: engagement through to d...NHSCitizen
Catherine's session at LGComms Academy 2014 was entitled: Beyond communications engagement through to democracy, where she tackled some really interesting, challenging territory for public-sector communicators.
In particular, Catherine pointed out why a networked, digital society demands not better communications but better democracy – and argued why this is an essential battleground for public-sector communicators in the future.
The document discusses the need for a "Networked Councillor" to effectively represent citizens in an increasingly digital and networked society. It argues that Councillors must embody openness, a digital culture, and co-production. Specifically, they must be open by default, digitally native, co-productive by involving citizens in decision-making, and networked both online and offline to understand different forms of influence. The challenges involve understanding new audiences, redesigning processes to reflect changing communications, and supporting Councillors to engage effectively in digital platforms without just focusing on technical skills.
Solace digital leadership Masterclass (June 2014)Catherine Howe
Catherine Howe has worked in technology for nearly 20 years. Her research explores digital civic space and how social media can be used for democratic purposes. She is interested in digital leadership skills and how to work effectively in a networked society. Howe discusses how everything is changing due to factors like technological innovation, aging populations, and climate change. She argues that we need to change how we communicate and organize ourselves. Networks have become the dominant social structure, and citizens are more participatory through sharing, collaborating, and connecting online. Howe believes digital skills are needed for collaboration, co-design, social media use, research, data analysis, and agile project management. There is no single solution, and we must continue learning to work in
The document discusses using information and communication technology (ICT) to involve more people in tobacco control efforts. It provides examples of how different digital governance models like e-advocacy/mobilization and lobbying models have been applied to impact decision-making processes. Existing tobacco control websites and organizations in Taiwan are also listed. It raises questions about how to better utilize ICT like e-papers and websites to engage more people and fill existing gaps.
This paper discusses hyperlocal social media and its value for local communities. Hyperlocal social media refers to applications and services specifically designed to facilitate communication, collaboration, and connections among residents at the neighborhood level. The paper provides an overview of the rise of hyperlocal social media, analyzing key features and functions through several leading examples of hyperlocal apps. It also addresses the challenges faced by hyperlocal platforms in achieving widespread adoption. Overall, the paper aims to illustrate how technological innovation empowers grassroots civic engagement and revitalizes the concept of the village square in the digital era.
Keywords: hyperlocal social media, local communities, hyperlocal apps, civic participation, technological innovation
The document discusses leveraging technology for community consultation and engagement. It provides an example of how the City of Kingston used technology throughout their LivingKingston2035 consultation process to create broader awareness, increase participation, and manage and derive value from the large amount of data collected. Over 6,000 community members participated, providing over 13,500 ideas. Technology allowed effective sorting and analysis of this data to inform decision making. Lessons from this case study emphasize planning technology use, making data central, and preparing for open data initiatives.
The document discusses the importance of public engagement through social media for police forces. It notes that social media allows police to engage with communities, especially younger people, in online spaces where conversations are already happening. The document argues that by having a presence on social media, police can build public confidence, improve visibility within communities, and enhance listening and relationship-building with the public. However, it also cautions that police must develop social media strategies thoughtfully and address potential risks to their reputation.
15 Tips For Electronic Public EngagementDan Bevarly
The document outlines 15 tips for using emerging technologies like the internet and websites to engage the public in transportation and development planning processes. It recommends developing an integrated public involvement plan that uses both traditional and online methods. Key tips include thinking of the web as a system rather than just a site, tailoring content for different communities, and ensuring transparency, record keeping, and accountability of online public comments. The goals are to create a more informed and involved public that can help decision makers through new 24/7 engagement opportunities.
The document discusses how the internet is changing politics and civic participation. It argues that the rise of social media and online networking allows for more open, collaborative and participatory forms of civic engagement. However, this has also disrupted traditional political structures and media. Moving forward, it suggests politics needs to embrace more networked and digital approaches, engaging citizens as collaborators rather than just communicating to the public. Elected representatives will need to adopt the behaviors and norms of online culture to be effective in this new networked society.
The document discusses challenges around civic discourse and decision making given changes in media. It proposes potential technology solutions like leveraging existing government touchpoints, introducing a closed-loop framework for civic input, and incentivizing participation. The framework would involve citizens providing input that is compiled and analyzed, then presented to an expert panel and government. Recommendations include engaging journalists, making public data open, and testing approaches with state and local governments.

The document discusses the MIT Center for Future Civic Media (C4FCM) and its goals of using technology to strengthen local communities and civic engagement among residents. It aims to develop an open-source digital toolkit and curricula to help young people capture and share local knowledge through mapping and media, and organize civic initiatives through an online advocacy forum. The toolkit would allow users to take photos, record interviews, and construct local maps to represent neighborhood information and share it online.

Catherine Howe has worked in technology for nearly 20 years and focuses on using social media for democratic purposes. She discusses how society is becoming more networked through technologies like social media that allow for increased participation, collaboration, and sharing. This networked society requires digital skills like social media proficiency, collaboration skills, and an understanding of how information is shared online. Howe argues that public leaders need to work with citizens in networked ways and develop skills for navigating an increasingly digital world.
The document discusses how the digital landscape has changed significantly over the past decade, with social media and smartphones now ubiquitous.

Workshop on Copyright Management for Open Access in Brazil - CONFOA 2013Carolina Rossini
This document discusses intellectual property management for open access, open educational resources, and open data. It provides 3 key points to remember: 1) open systems and networks can create new forms of innovation and creation; 2) new forms of innovation can be helped or hindered by public policies and institutions; and 3) Brazil is experimenting with collaboration and openness ideas but is just beginning. It then discusses several concepts relevant to intellectual property management in open contexts, including rights, authors, publishers, and the public/users. It emphasizes thinking of new ways to manage intellectual property rights along the value chain to enable open access, open educational resources, and open data while respecting goals and missions.
Open Educational Resources at the mAlliance and OAS Seminar seriesCarolina Rossini
The document discusses open educational resources (OER) in Brazil, including key concepts, policies, and projects related to OER. It notes that OER are teaching materials that are in the public domain or released under an open license allowing free use and modification. Successful OER strategies in Brazil involve making taxpayer-funded educational resources openly available, using open content licenses, and enabling collaborative production of resources. The document analyzes several Brazilian OER projects and their interoperability and rights over content. It discusses efforts to include support for OER in Brazil's National Education Plan and legislation promoting more efficient use of public funds for education.
1. O documento discute como sistemas e redes abertos podem criar novos modos de inovação e colaboração através de recursos educacionais abertos.
2. As políticas e projetos institucionais e governamentais podem auxiliar ou prejudicar esses novos modos de inovação.
3. Instituições brasileiras e de outros países estão experimentando a abertura, mas ainda estão no início deste processo.
The document summarizes key points made by Carolina Rossini, International Intellectual Property Director at EFF, at a 2012 Trans-Pacific Partnership Stakeholder Forum regarding technological protection measures (TPMs) and access rights. Rossini argues that overbroad TPM laws, as seen from the US experience with the DMCA, can restrict lawful and socially beneficial uses of copyrighted works, chill scientific research, stifle technology innovation, and enable anti-competitive behavior. The TPP agreement should leave TPM policy choices to member countries and any provisions must balance copyright protections with other public interests.
The document discusses balancing the free flow of information, freedom of expression, and privacy in trade agreements like the Trans-Pacific Partnership. While facilitating communication and trade has benefits, these agreements could impact human rights by deciding complex issues around these topics in closed trade negotiations instead of through open democratic processes. Countries should be able to set their own privacy laws and not have them challenged as trade barriers in trade agreements.
Fair use promotes economic growth more than strong copyright, according to multiple studies. A US study found that fair use accounted for over $4.5 trillion in annual revenue and 233,000 jobs in California alone. Studies of Australia and Singapore found that expanding fair use was correlated with hundreds of millions to billions in additional economic growth, without significantly impacting copyright industries. The evidence suggests fair use supports faster growth in technology sectors and cultural production compared to stronger copyright laws.
The document discusses concerns about provisions in the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement regarding internet intermediary liability and restrictions on the free flow of online information. It notes that while free flow of information has economic benefits, it is also linked to complex issues of privacy, political considerations, and human rights that may not be best addressed in closed-door trade negotiations. The document advocates for balancing free expression with privacy protections, and ensuring any international framework respects sovereign countries' privacy laws and principles of informed consent.
This document discusses the role of interoperability in knowledge creation and governance. It argues that interoperability is an essential condition for the emergence of novel, democratized and distributed knowledge governance systems that can complement traditional systems. When applied at multiple levels from technology to intellectual property, interoperability allows for distributed peer production of knowledge across disciplines. It also discusses how the separate early design of the internet enabled distributed innovation and knowledge construction. For knowledge governance to scale beyond individual institutions, actors from industry, universities, and government must be connected in an interoperable network for open collaboration.
The document discusses concerns about provisions in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement regarding internet intermediary liability and restrictions on the free flow of online information. It notes that while free flow of information has economic benefits, it is also linked to complex issues of privacy, censorship, and other sociopolitical considerations that may not be best addressed in closed-door trade negotiations. The document argues that privacy is a fundamental human right that should not be compromised, and that trade agreements should not be used to challenge legitimate privacy laws.
This document discusses how international trade agreements can threaten technological innovation and public interests if they are negotiated without transparency and take digital freedoms for granted. It argues that agreements are expanding copyright holder rights and limiting exceptions, while also pressuring internet service providers. If these issues are not addressed, agreements like ACTA, TPP, and CETA could impede innovation by overriding exceptions to copyright, requiring websites and ISPs to censor content, and forcing disclosure of customer identities. The document calls for citizens to get involved in policymaking to protect the open internet.
The document discusses challenges, disruptions and innovations related to ebooks. It addresses issues such as price, digital inclusion, technological standards and interoperability, content, new opportunities for authorship and collaboration, and user behavior. It also examines initiatives for open educational resources and open licensing models as ways to increase access and sharing of knowledge through digital means.
Este documento resume um seminário sobre políticas públicas para recursos educacionais abertos (REA) no Brasil. Três pontos principais foram discutidos: 1) Sistemas abertos e redes abertas podem criar novas formas de inovação e criação; 2) Novas formas de inovação podem ser apoiadas ou prejudicadas por políticas públicas e institucionais; 3) O Brasil está experimentando ideias de colaboração e abertura, mas ainda está no início.
This document discusses emerging business models in the context of disruptive forces in content industries. It analyzes how sectors like music, video and publishing are being "broken" by digital distribution and changing consumer behaviors. Examples of new models focusing on open content and aggregation are mentioned, including open textbook initiatives and the Flatworld Knowledge model of offering open textbooks and supplemental materials through various purchase options. The document concludes that while existing industries face radical changes, new business models are emerging to address these disruptions, though their long term viability remains to be seen. Experimentation with open content and aggregation within existing models is recommended.

Também ressalta o potencial para crescimento no Brasil, que representa a maior parte dos acessos em português, mas ainda tem baixa participação global.
We need two types of innovation: breakthrough and incremental. There are three methods to achieve innovation: distributed, user-driven, and open and standardized sharing. Creative Commons enables both types of innovations and all three methods by allowing standardized content sharing through licenses that range from most free to least free.

Making a Bill of Rights for the Internet
28. Clear example of:
• Multi-level politics and Networked advocacy
– Where the networks consist of horizontal and vertical
dimensions.
• Communications technology can be empowering
through the lowering of costs for collective
action, support for political entrepreneurialism,
and decreased dependency on a central
organization.
29. Advocacy for an Open Internet
• These models need to encourage participation
as a lifestyle, not just a periodic engagement.
@Beth Noveck
The project was created by means of a partnership between the Ministry of Justice Ministério da Justiça in partnership with the Center for Technology and Society of the Law School at the Fundação Getulio Vargas. Both institutions launched on October 29, 2009 the first draft phase of a collaborative process to build the draft for the Marco Civil.

Numerous scholars have highlighted how the internet and digital media support transnational networked advocacy, particularly with an emphasis on personalized action on the edges of loose networks of actors. s. Lower costs for individual action allow for a different role for civil society organizations.
a shift in the “single-operation local organizations rooted in elitist sectors of society” in the 1970s and 1980s to “disembodied, distributed, and individualized” action using the Internet as a major platform in contemporary social movements. Milan and Hintz have investigated how the networks of connective action challenge the traditional roles of civil society and highlight the role of the individual.
observe “entrepreneurial” actions by individuals on the edges of advocacy networks in which “individuals have a high degree of autonomy and may design collective organizational action efforts in ways that are not sanctioned or controlled by central authority.”
