#StopBigTechGoverningBigTech: More than 170 Civil Society Groups Worldwide Oppose Plans for a
Big Tech Dominated Body for Global Digital Governance.
Not only in developing countries but also in the US and EU, calls for stronger regulation of Big Tech
are rising. At the precise point when we should be shaping global norms to regulate Big Tech, plans
have emerged for an ‘empowered’ global digital governance body that will evidently be dominated
by Big Tech. Adding vastly to its already overweening power, this new Body would help Big Tech
resist effective regulation, globally and at national levels. Indeed, we face the unbelievable prospect
of ‘a Big Tech led body for Global Governance of Big Tech’.

The Partnership Health of ICT Projects in Developing Countries - Pacis 2009...Anand Sheombar
The basic argument of this paper is that successful contributions in developing countries that are made with, and through, ICT are partly dependent on the health of the relationship between partners. The research was conducted in 10 projects involving multinational ICT companies. It was found that problems with partner cooperation revolve around six core categories namely driving force factors, skill factors, input-output factors, socio-cultural factors, systems factors, and trust factors.
Risks, Harms and Benefits Assessment Tool (Updated as of Jan 2019)UN Global Pulse
The Data Innovation Risk Assessment Tool is an initial assessment of potential risks for data use that includes seven guiding checkpoints to understand: the "Data Type" involved in the data analytics process, the "Risks and Harms" of data use, the mode and legitimacy of "Data Access", the "Data Use", the adequacy of "Data Security", the adequate level of "Communication and Transparency" and the due diligence on engagement of "Third Parties". The Assessment contains guiding comments for each checkpoint and its questions are grounded in the key international data privacy and data protection principles and concepts such as Purpose Specification, Purpose Compatibility, Data Minimization, Consent Legitimacy, Lawfulness and Fairness of data access and use.

Experiments on Crowdsourcing Policy Assessment - Oxford IPP 2014Araz Taeihagh
Can non-experts Crowds perform as well as experts in the assessment of policy measures? To what degree does geographical location relevant to the policy context alter the performance of non-experts in the assessment of policy measures? This research in progress seeks to answer these questions by outlining experiments designed to replicate expert policy assessments with non-expert Crowds. We use a set of ninety-eight policy measures previously evaluated by experts, as our control condition, and conduct the experiments using two discrete sets of non-expert Crowds recruited from a Virtual Labor Market (VLM). We vary the composition of our non-expert Crowds along two conditions; participants recruited from a geographical location relevant to the policy context, and participants recruited at-large. In each case we recruit a sample of 100 participants for each Crowd. Each experiment is then repeated at the VLM with completely new participants in each group to assess the reliability of our results. We will present results on the performance of all four groups of non-experts jointly and severally in comparison to the expert assessments, and discuss the ramifications of our findings for the use of non-expert Crowds and VLM’s for policy design. Our experimental design applies climate change adaptation policy measures.
The mobile phone has received global attention primarily as a personal consumer technology. However, we believe that mobile information technology in general will play a significant role in organisational efforts to innovate current practices and have significant economic impact. Enterprise mobility signals new ways of managing how people work together using mobile information technology and will form an integral part of the efforts to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of information work. This belief is, however, not reflected in the current selection of books and collections exploring the issue of enterprise mobility. The aim of this paper is to highlight some of the key challenges in the application of mobile information technology to improve organisational efficiency. This is accomplished through comparing and contrasting findings from a selection of 11 empirical studies of enterprise mobility with information technology conducted between 2001 and 2007. The paper argues that the debate so far has largely failed to embed glowing accounts for technological potential in a sound discussion of organisational realities. In particular, there has been a lack of balanced accounts of the implicit and explicit trade-offs involved in mobilising the interaction between members of the workforce.

This report presents a summary of the main topics discussed by the PAG in general, which were mainly summarized during the
2015 PAG meeting. It also describes some of the outcomes that came out of the PAG meeting of 23-24 October 2015.
Big data is a term that describes a large or complex
data volume. That data volume can be processes using traditional
data processing software or techniques that are insufficient to deal
with them. But big data is often noisy, heterogeneous, irrelevant
and untrustworthy. As the speed of information growth exceeds
Moore’s Law at the beginning of this new century, excessive data
is making great troubles to human beings. However this data with
special attributes can’t be managed and processed by the current
traditional software system, which become a real problem. In this
paper was discussed some big data challenges and problems that
are faced by organizations. These challenges may relate
heterogeneity, scale, timelines, privacy and human collaboration.
Survey method was used as a theoretical solution framework.
Survey method consists of a questionnaires report. Questionnaires
report consists of all challenges and problems faced by
organizations. After knowing the problem and challenges of
organizations, a solution was given to organization to solve big
data challenges.

This research focuses on the analysis of the quality of open health data that are freely available and can be used by everyone for their own purposes. The quality of open data is crucial as it can lead to unreliable decision-making and financial losses, however, the quality of open health data has even more critical role.Despite its importance, this topic is rarely discussed.Therefore, the previously proposed data object-driven approach to data quality evaluation is applied to open health data in Latvia in order to (a) evaluate their quality, highlighting common quality issues that should be considered by both, users and data publishers, (b) demonstrate that the used approach is suitable for given purpose as it is simple enough,and ensures the involvement of users even without IT and data quality knowledge (domain experts) in the data quality analysis examining data for their own purposes. The proposed solution seems to be useful in establishing communication between data users and publishers,improving the overall quality of data.

eGov 2.0 keys to success white paper June2009etienneveyret
Gemalto’s white paper on “eGov 2.0 : the keys to success” released today
Jul 1, 2009 - How and why has e-Gov become a central component in governmental modernization?
Why does it change the relationship between citizen and government? Most importantly, how can governments decide on the most effective method of approaching this modernization process?
Following the success of the e-Government 2.0 white paper- a study on the essentials of e-Government and e-ID- Gemalto has released a new report designed to serve as a guideline for public authorities wishing to devise successful citizen- centric e-Government programs.
Gemalto presents established and proven strategies by demonstrating a variety of supporting case studies and expert opinions.
e-Gov 2.0: The Keys to Success expands on the basic concepts of e-Government, analyzes citizen’s expectations, and creates a global architecture for a national e-Government 2.0 program.
The study: unparalleled by competition
No study has ever been focused on eID and key success factors in a “citizen-centric” e-Government initiative in such detailed level:
17 top eGov specialists interviewed
7 key areas/business cases selected where to set up new e-applications
Citizen’s expectations revealed
A powerful methodology suggested.
A Roadmap for CrossBorder Data Flows: Future-Proofing Readiness and Cooperati...Peerasak C.
The World Economic Forum partnered with the Bahrain Economic Development Board and a Steering Committee-led project community of organizations from around the world to co-design the Roadmap for Cross-Border Data Flows, with the aim of identifying best-practice policies that both promote innovation in data-intensive technologies and enable data collaboration at the regional and international levels.
Creating effective policy on cross-border data flows is a priority for any nation that critically depends on its interactions with the rest of the world through the free flow of capital, goods, knowledge and people. Now more than ever, cross-border data flows are key predicates for countries and regions that wish to compete in the Fourth Industrial Revolution and thrive in the post COVID-19 era.
Despite this reality, we are witnessing a proliferation of policies around the world that restrict the movement of data across borders, which is posing a serious threat to the global digital economy, and to the ability of nations to maximize the economic and social benefits of data-reliant technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain.
We hope that countries wishing to engage in cross-border data sharing can feel confident in using the Roadmap as a guide for designing robust respective domestic policies that retain a fine balance between the benefits and risks of data flows.
This primer - or "Big Data 101" specifically for the international development and humanitarian communities - explains the concepts behind using Big Data for social good in easy-to-understand language. Published by the United Nations' Global Pulse initiative, which is exploring how new, digital data sources and real-time analytics technologies can help policymakers understand human well-being and emerging vulnerabilities in real-time. www.unglobalpulse.org

Desigualdades educativas derivadas del COVID-19 desde una perspectiva feminista. Análisis de los discursos de profesionales de la educación madrileña.
Melani Penna Tosso * Mercedes Sánchez SáinzCristina Mateos CasadoUniversidad Complutense de Madrid, España
Objetivos: Especificar las principales dificultades percibidas por las profesoras y los departamentos y equipos de orientación en relación con la atención a las diversidades en la actual situación de pandemia generada por el COVID-19. Exponer las prácticas educativas implementadas por dichas profesionales para disminuir las desigualdades. Visibilizar desigualdades de género que se dan en el ámbito educativo, relacionadas con la situación de pandemia entre el alumnado, el profesorado y las familias, desde una perspectiva feminista. Analizar las propuestas de cambio que proponen estas profesionales de la educación ante posibles repeticiones de situaciones de emergencia similares.
Resultados: Los docentes se han visto sobrecargados por el trabajo en confinamiento, en general el tiempo de trabajo ha tomado las casas, los espacios familiares, el tiempo libre y los fines de semana. Las profesionales entrevistadas se ven obligadas a una conexión permanente, sin limitación horaria y con horarios condicionados por las familias del alumnado. Se distinguen dos períodos bien diferenciados, en que los objetivos pasaron de ser emocionales a académicos. Como problemática general surge la falta de coordinación dentro los centros educativos.
Método: Análisis de entrevistas semiestructuradas a través de la metodología de análisis crítico de discurso.

Resumen. La educación evoluciona en la vida del estudiante
(ontogenia) y en la vida del sistema escolar (filogenia). Estas
rutas pueden consolidar la continuidad o producir un cambio en la formación del pensamiento propio como estrategia
pedagógica. La experiencia que expongo sucedió durante los
ciclos 2015-1 y 2016-1 al dictar la materia Epistemología de
la Investigación a nivel licenciatura en Estudios Sociales y Gestión Local en la unidad enes (unam) de Morelia. He basado la
praxis educativa en dinámicas de colaboración, buscando arraigar la formación cognitiva del pensamiento propio en jóvenes
aprendices del estudio social. El descubrimiento constante, la
recuperación del pensamiento en tiempo presente y el reconocimiento recíproco produjeron resultados sintéticos dispuestos
aquí para la develación reflexiva.

Future Teacher Training of Several Universities with MOOCs as OER
Abstract
To train future Austrian teachers in using digital media, a novel didactic design was
implemented at several universities in Austria in summer semester 2019: The course includes
the participation in a MOOC (massive open online course) on the topic, an accompanying
group work at the universities and multiple-choice tests conducted at the universities. In the
summer semester of 2020, due to the COVID-19 crisis, the group work and exams had to be
switched to virtual space as well. Because the course materials are available under an open
license, i.e. as open educational resources, further use is possible and offered.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

More than 170 Civil Society Groups Worldwide Oppose Plans for a
Big Tech Dominated Body for Global Digital Governance
Not only in developing countries but also in the US and EU, calls for stronger regulation of Big Tech
are rising. At the precise point when we should be shaping global norms to regulate Big Tech, plans
have emerged for an ‘empowered’ global digital governance body that will evidently be dominated
by Big Tech. Adding vastly to its already overweening power, this new Body would help Big Tech
resist effective regulation, globally and at national levels. Indeed, we face the unbelievable prospect
of ‘a Big Tech led body for Global Governance of Big Tech’.
To
The Secretary General,
United Nations, New York
Your ‘Roadmap for Digital Cooperation’ rightly recognises that “the world is at a critical inflection point for
technology governance, made more urgent by the ongoing pandemic”. We are however concerned that the
proposal for a new “strategic and empowered” High Level Multistakeholder Body with substantial digital
policies related roles runs directly counter to the outcomes of the World Summit on the Information Society
(WSIS) and its official follow-up process. It is in any case unacceptable that such an apex policy body will have
corporation and government nominees sitting as equals. Worse, the proposed Body will rely largely on
private (i.e., corporate) funding, and the main proposal currently on the table for this Body suggests linking
gaining a seat on it with providing funding support. This is a new low for the UN, and an unthinkably
dangerous direction for the future of global governance.
The WSIS mandated a process of ‘Enhanced Cooperation’ for developing “international public policies
pertaining to the Internet” (or global digital policies), and a multistakeholder policy dialogue space, the
Internet Governance Forum. While a multistakeholder UN Internet Governance Forum has been functioning
since 2006, the multilateral element of actual policy development, the ‘Enhanced Cooperation’ framework, is
yet to come to fruition. However, it remains firmly on the agenda of WSIS follow-up, with the UN General
Assembly in December, 2020, noting “the need for continued dialogue and work on the implementation of
enhanced cooperation” as envisioned by the WSIS.
The delay in setting up a governments-led UN body/mechanism/framework for digital policies, as mandated
by the WSIS, leaves a temporary vacuum into which this proposed High Level Multistakeholder Body seeks to
insinuate itself. Yet the mandate is not at all clear for how the official, formal, process for ‘Enhanced
Cooperation’ can be superseded (and subverted) by an informal process led by Secretary General’s office
2. (albeit with a slightly changed name of ‘Digital Cooperation’). (See Annex 1 to this document on how this
expressly violates mandates from the WSIS and UN GA).
With the IGF working well as a policy dialogue forum, the various functions laid out for the proposed High
Level Multistakeholder Body – although often stated in rather roundabout ways – seem designed to make it
‘the’ prime norms setting body for global digital governance, while providing it a private funding base. (See
Annex 2 on the obvious policy role of this proposed Body, and its problematic funding model.)
Not just in developing countries but also in the US and EU, calls for stronger regulation of Big Tech are rising.
At the precise point when we should be shaping global norms to regulate Big Tech, it is a sheer paradox to
see plans emerge for an ‘empowered’ global digital governance body that will clearly be dominated by Big
Tech. Adding vastly to its already overweening power, this new Body would help Big Tech resist effective
regulation, globally and at national levels. We indeed face the unbelievable prospect of ‘a Big Tech led body
for Global Governance of Big Tech’.
A Readers Guide (University of Massachusetts-Boston) describes how the World Economic Forum’s (WEF)
Global Redesign Initiative believed that “‘multistakeholder consultations’ on global matters should evolve into
‘multi-stakeholder governance’ arrangements”. “This transformation means that non-state actors would no
longer just provide input to decision-makers ... but would actually be responsible for making global policy
decisions.” The Global Redesign Initiative’s report sought a focus first on “designing multistakeholder
structures for the institutions that deal with global problems with an online dimension.” And then: “... as ever
more problems come to acquire an online dimension, the multistakeholder institution would become the
default in international cooperation.”
The sense of déjà vu in what is now unfolding in front of us is rather eerie. The first step of turning a body for
‘multistakeholder consultations’ (IGF) into one for ‘multi-stakeholder governance’ (the IGF plus, High Level
Multistakeholder Body) for the ‘online’ or digital’ dimension, is evidently under way. To be noted also is how
the term ‘cooperation’ is deployed in the above WEF ‘plan’ to mean actual policy making, similar to its use in
the ‘Digital Cooperation’ initiative and architecture.
We urge the office of the UN Secretary General to immediately withdraw the proposal for a High level
Multistakeholder Body for ‘Digital Cooperation’, since it would become the de facto body for ‘global digital
governance’. If this proposal is adopted, it will sound the death knell of democratic and multilateral global
governance, replacing it with corporate-led governance systems, that (as envisaged by the WEF) will extend
more widely with increasing digitalisation of all sectors.
Indeed, such capture of policy forums is already happening across several dimensions of the UN multilateral
system. It already exerts a direct impact on people’s lives – as we see now clearly in the pandemic in the case
of governance of health, but also in the governance of food, education and environment. Recent
developments such as COVAX and Food Systems Summit are examples of movement in this direction,
following the model further advanced in the WEF’s latest ‘The Great Re-Set’. The rapidly growing role of big
data, AI and digital platforms in all sectors fits well with the move towards, in effect, global self-regulation of
Big Tech, and would have the effect of a further lock-in of this approach across all sectors.
As it has been mandated by the WSIS, we further urge the office of the UN Secretary General to dedicate
itself to exploring how best a democratic system for global digital governance can be developed, following
the WSIS guidelines.
3. Our specific requests from the office of the Secretary General:
1. The proposal for an ‘empowered and strategic’ High Level Multistakeholder Body for Digital
Cooperation should be shelved. We do not see any role or need for it.
2. A clear distinction should be made between what could be Digital Cooperation for assisting UN
agencies in deploying digital technologies in programmatic terms, on the one hand, and UN's core
digital policy functions, on the other. With regard to the former, some steps have been proposed in
the Roadmap for Digital Cooperation. We may have varying levels of concerns in relation to some of
these steps. However, what we are most concerned about here is the completely unacceptable
over-reach of the Digital Cooperation agenda towards substantive policy functions, even if
somewhat hidden under various vague terms and descriptions. The Digital Cooperation agenda
should be re-worked to be confined, if at all, to programmatic and policy dialogue functions. Any
framework or forum set up under it should not in the slightest exceed such functions. This should
be fully clarified in all relevant documents and mandates. All the vague and confusing language in
this regard should be replaced with clear description of roles and functions, fully excluding any
substantive policy roles. We are happy to offer our further suggestions and assistance in this regard.
3. Efforts should be renewed in full earnest to develop a genuinely democratic system for global digital
governance, keeping vested corporate interests at bay. The office of the Secretary General should
start a new, formal, process of consultation on this issue as per WSIS guidelines. This is especially
pertinent now given the dramatically changed public and political opinion on the need for close
regulation of Big Tech, and the fact that Big Tech is global and therefore requires a certain level of
effective global governance, with appropriate global norms and polices.

4. Annex 1
A brief institutional history of WSIS and its follow up in relation to the proposal for a
High Level Multistakeholder Body for Digital Cooperation
The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), held in two phases in 2003 and 2005, mandated two
complementary but distinct policy processes; a multilateral process of ‘Enhanced Cooperation’ for actual
policy making, and a multistakeholder Internet Governance Forum (IGF) as a policy dialogue forum.
UN IGF was formed in 2006, and it meets annually. In 2010, the UN General Assembly (GA) set up a
Commission on Science and Technology for Development (CSTD) Working Group on Improvements to the IGF.
Its report was adopted by the UN GA and has been implemented. Significantly, many design elements of the
now proposed High Level Multistakeholder Body – involving new kinds of more substantive policy roles for
the IGF or IGF associated bodies – were expressly considered by this Working Group and rejected. It is
concerning, and unacceptable, how these elements of an ‘empowered IGF plus’, having been rejected by a
formal process pursuant to extensive consultations, are re-emerging through the back-door of an informal
process driven by the Secretary General’s office.
The other WSIS-mandated ‘complementary’ process of ‘Enhanced Cooperation’, for actual policy making,
remained a contested issue. From 2014 to 2018, two successive CSTD Working Groups considered various
ways to implement this key WSIS recommendation, but an agreement could not be reached. However, this
process of exploring the appropriate architecture for Enhanced Cooperation on global digital policies is not
closed. The WSIS + 10 meeting in 2015 called for “continued dialogue and work on the implementation of
enhanced cooperation”. This call was repeated by a UN GA resolution in 2020.
As with the Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) of the IGF – and quite likely an extension of it – the new
High Level Multistakeholder Body would have corporation and government nominees, in addition to some
technical community and civil society members, sit as equals. This is acceptable for the MAG whose role is
basically to develop the program for the annual IGF. On the other hand, the proposed new High Level
Multistakeholder Body has a clear and central policy role. There is no evident reason otherwise to go beyond
the current IGF and MAG structure, which has been performing well as a policy dialogue system, as
mandated by the WSIS.
The current proposal appears to be a clear effort to creep from the IGF side to the Enhanced Cooperation
side of the WSIS mandate, because it was the Enhanced Cooperation process which was supposed to
undertake the policy development role. It is precisely to pre-empt any such mission creep from the ‘policy
dialogue’ multistakeholder IGF side to substantive policy space that the UN GA has clearly stated in its post
WSIS resolutions that the IGF and Enhanced Cooperation are to be ‘distinct’ i.e. separate processes. There is
therefore no scope for an ‘Internet Governance Forum plus model’ or to ‘enhance the Forum’ (both terms
from the SG’s Roadmap document), as some kind of a hybrid between the policy dialogue function of the IGF
and substantive policy function of the WSIS mandated ‘Enhanced Cooperation’ (which is supposed to be
multilateral, but with multistakeholder consultations). The new High Level Multistakeholder Body is evidently
trying to become such a hybrid. This is a clear subversion of the architecture laid out by the WSIS and
subsequent guidelines from the UN GA.
The High Level Multistakeholder Body for Digital Cooperation is evidently ‘Enhanced Cooperation’ in
camouflage, seeking to take over the latter’s digital policy development role. Only that it does not at all
5. qualify for such a role from a WSIS mandate point of view, which laid out directions of what and how of such
an Internet/digital policy body in its Tunis Agenda.
Once such a High Level Multistakeholder Body dabbling in substantive policy issues is formed, it will slowly
but surely seek to fill up the vacuum left by non-creation of a democratic and multi-lateral body for
development of global Internet and digital policies. It will thus come to be at the apex of global digital
governance and policy system.
6. Annex 2
Some quotes from documents related to the High Level Multistakeholder Body
which show its proposed central policy role, and problematic private funding model
The evident central policy function of the proposed High Level Multistakeholder Body
The report of the ‘High Level Panel on Digital Cooperation’, on which the UN Secretary General’s (SG)
‘Roadmap for Digital Cooperation’ is based, described the policy function of the proposed High Level
Multistakeholder Body in this fashion:
...incubate policies and norms for public discussion and adoption. In response to requests to look at a
perceived regulatory gap, it would examine if existing norms and regulations could fill the gap and, if
not, form a policy group consisting of interested stakeholders to make proposals to governments and
other decision-making bodies. It would monitor policies and norms through feedback from the
bodies that adopt and implement them.
Building on this report, the SG’s Roadmap specifically calls for:
Creating a strategic and empowered multi-stakeholder high level body, building on the experience of
the existing multi-stakeholder advisory group, which would address urgent issues, coordinate follow-
up action on Forum discussions and relay proposed policy approaches and recommendations from
the Forum to the appropriate normative and decision-making forum.
The part ‘strategic and empowered’ makes evident that this Body’s role would go much beyond the policy
deliberation function of the UN IGF. It will have some strategic, policy related power. ‘Address urgent issues’ is
another part which points to some kind of decision-making role, quite beyond policy deliberation. So does
‘coordinate follow-up action on IGF discussions’. How does the Body relay ‘policy approaches and
recommendations’ from the IGF, when there are no avenues or means for recommendation-making in the
IGF? There is obviously meant to be some ‘empowered’ role of choosing, shaping and incubating policy
approaches and recommendations by the new proposed Body.
In default of any other specific Internet or digital norms-shaping or policy-making body in the UN system,
policy approaches and recommendations coming out of this proposed Multi-stakeholder High Level Body will
be presented and construed as ‘the’ global norms and soft law in the digital arena.
The private funding model for the proposed High Level Multistakeholder Body
In this regard, the report of the ‘High level Panel’ said:
All stakeholders – including governments, international organisations, businesses and the tech sector
– would be encouraged to contribute.
The SG’s Roadmap builds on this, to propose:
Addressing the long-term sustainability of the Forum and the resources necessary for increased
participation, through an innovative and viable fundraising strategy, as promoted by the round table.
No document seems available about what got ‘promoted by the round table’. But all indications are that the
focus is on non-UN, private funding. With such an alluring, high profile digital norms-shaping and policy role,
7. a large part of such funding would very likely come from Big Tech and other corporate sources. A proposal for
how the High Level Multistakeholder Body (HLMB) should be run developed by a Working Group of the
Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) of the IGF – MAG itself being a strong candidate for a central role in
the proposed new Body – has this to say about its funding:
"Probably, some senior people sitting in the MHLB will have a bigger incentive to consider funding
the IGF Secretariat, without making this a requirement at all."
There is more than a hint here of ‘pay to play’. All the relevant documents are generally clear about a focus
on private funding, with references to how members of this body being well resourced, and providing various
resources for its functions, would be such a good thing.
