This document summarizes a lecture on internet governance and rule-making. It discusses how definitions of internet governance have evolved from a focus on policy organizations and steering to recognize decentralized and heterogeneous governance arrangements. Governance is examined through different disciplinary lenses and as a process of coordination rather than just regulation. New perspectives are needed that consider informal norms, discourses and framings, and how technologies structure communication and regulation. Internet governance involves coordination among many actors through diverse rules and mechanisms beyond just institutions.
This document provides an introduction to internet governance. It discusses the history and need for internet governance. It defines internet governance and describes the multistakeholder model. The presentation explores key issues, dilemmas, and principles around internet policymaking. It also encourages involvement in the Internet Governance Forum to help shape the future of internet governance.
Internet Governance - Why the Multistakeholder Approach WorksInternet Society
The multistakeholder approach is a set of tools or practices that all share one basis: ‘Individuals and organizations from different realms participating alongside each other to share ideas or develop consensus policy’.

This document summarizes trends in internet governance over the past 20 years. It explores how internet governance has become (1) more democratic through increased global connectivity and participation, though some governments still seek to assert cyber-sovereignty; (2) decisions are increasingly made through multistakeholder processes but this model has not been universally adopted; and (3) security concerns have grown but government responses risk conflict and unintended consequences like BGP hijacking. The document argues these trends both present opportunities and challenges for the future governance of the internet.
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.

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.
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.
The Tracing COVID-19 Research Project aims to analyze COVID-19 public health data reporting across jurisdictions to identify gaps and best practices. The research team is led by Dr. Tracey Lauriault and includes students from Carleton University. The project will compare COVID-19 reports, identify framework datasets to standardize reporting, analyze data standards and protocols, and publish case studies and recommendations. The research is informed by critical data studies, data and technological citizenship, and a rights-based approach. Current topic areas include intersectional empiricism, openness, design, and Indigenous data sovereignty.
This document discusses internet governance and ARIN's role. It provides an overview of key internet governance organizations like ICANN, IETF, ITU and forums like the Internet Governance Forum. It summarizes discussions around transitioning oversight of the IANA functions and statements by groups on the future of internet cooperation, specifically the Montevideo Statement and NETmundial Multistakeholder Statement. The document encourages participation and involvement in ongoing internet governance discussions.
This document discusses integrating the LEOS legislation drafting software with the ManyLaws legal informatics platform. LEOS allows for online collaboration on legislation, while ManyLaws relates laws within and across countries and translates them. Integrating the tools would allow users to access relevant laws from other jurisdictions, compare legal elements, and create metadata during drafting to make new legislation retrievable in ManyLaws. This would provide a powerful solution for legislation drafting within the EU. The document outlines ManyLaws' process for handling legal data and how LEOS could integrate to directly input new data and access ManyLaws' services.
Digital ready policymaking and the digital screening process(1)PanagiotisKeramidis
This document outlines digital screening of policy initiatives by the European Commission to ensure they are digital-ready. It discusses screening policy initiatives across the entire policy cycle to identify how technology converges with legislation. The digital screening process involves assessing initiatives based on dimensions like EU priorities, interoperability, and legal environment. Over 400 initiatives have been screened, resulting in benefits like ex-ante evaluation and fostering interoperability and digital transformation among EU digital policies and standards. Future areas of focus include applying artificial intelligence and expanding the methodology to other thematic areas.

This document discusses the importance of internet governance to Bangladesh. It provides background on the development of internet governance, including the World Summit on the Information Society and creation of the Internet Governance Forum. Recent events that aim to strengthen the multistakeholder model of internet governance and transition oversight of the IANA functions are also covered. The document argues that internet governance is important for Bangladesh because a open internet can drive growth, but Bangladesh needs to invest in connectivity infrastructure, skills development, and policies to enable this. Participation in internet governance discussions and embracing Bangladesh's role on the global stage are encouraged.

Colin van Noordt presented on approaches and use of AI in the public sector by European member states based on an analysis of their national AI strategies. He discussed common policy instruments in the strategies to boost AI adoption, such as stimulating awareness, strengthening data management, building internal capacity, learning by doing, and establishing ethical and legal frameworks. The most frequent actions addressed enhancing data quality, improving access to public data, generalist AI training, pilots and experiments, and developing ethical frameworks. However, the strategies often lacked clarity and concreteness. While focusing on overcoming data barriers, they may overlook organizational and resource needs for AI. Most described more actions to facilitate private versus public sector AI.

ESWC SS 2013 - Wednesday Keynote Kieron O'hara: The Information Springeswcsummerschool
This document discusses the potential of semantic e-government and linked open data to transform how governments operate and engage with citizens. It outlines several stages in this process, from initial projects using semantic technologies to link government data, to giving citizens access and control over their own personal data. If fully realized, this could decentralize public services, increase transparency, and empower citizens by leveraging their competence and ability to solve problems through open data and technologies like linked data. However, challenges remain around data discovery, alignment of standards, interfaces, quality assurance, and privacy protections.
1. 2014 will see many important international meetings on internet governance that could significantly impact its future, as countries push for greater government control while technical groups support the traditional multistakeholder approach.
2. Disclosures about US electronic surveillance have energized some governments' calls for increased regulation of internet activities and oversight, though responses also risk negatively impacting internet freedom and business.
3. Key upcoming meetings include ITU and UN conferences and summits that will debate issues like internet governance processes, cybersecurity, data protection, and economic development, with some countries seeking expanded government roles and new intergovernmental bodies.

The Privatization of Governance: Emerging Trends and ActorsLarry Catá Backer
Globalization's challenges, tensions and contradictions, indeed all of the variables that contribute toward the trajectory of globalization and its relationship to its principal actors, merely reinforce the primacy of globalization itself as a singular orthodoxy. And it is an orthodoxy that is itself embedded in the more fundamental governance orthodoxy of the mid-1945s from out of which the framework of its conception and operation was itself embedded. That orthodoxy itself posited a hierarchy in which politics served as the legitimating instrument of power, and that the state served as the apex organization of politics. That organization, itself, was expressed as the institutionalization of mass power framed within a set of fundamental substantive norms the limiting principles of which would be set by the community of states dominated by its leading members. Thus, the appearance of challenge and opposition that has been more sharply drawn since the start of this century might be understood as occurring within a carefully protected orthodoxy the object of which is to protect the primacy of politics (and law) with the state as its apex.
And yet, one of the great ironies of globalization is the way in which its effort to cement a framework orthodoxy after 1945 has served to overturn orthodoxy itself, and in its place, has ushered in an age of heterodoxy that is both ordered but anarchic. This presentation introduces some of the basic trends and actors that have emerged from out of the orthodox conceptual framework of globalization, and the extent to which these are contributing to its transformation as a vector of governance.

This document discusses some big questions around public governance, including how to tackle complex policy problems like pandemics, climate change, and poverty. It also discusses how to ensure policies are made in the interest of the public rather than private interests, and who decides public policies. It then outlines different approaches to public sector management, including public administration, new public management, and new public governance. Finally, it discusses hierarchies, markets and networks in public services, and outlines the policy cycle and factors that influence decision-making.

The document discusses the current state of enterprise user experience (UX) and opportunities for improvement. It notes that while consumer UX adoption is high, enterprise UX adoption has been more lukewarm due to objections and a lack of research and development. However, the enterprise environment is ripe for UX innovation. It explores concepts like UX ecosystems, mental models, and the consumerization of IT that could help advance enterprise UX.
This document discusses operationalizing the capabilities approach for ICT4D and development. It provides an overview of steps taken so far to operationalize the capabilities approach in the field of ICT4D. It then describes Dorothea Kleine's Choice Framework for applying the capabilities approach, which involves examining development outcomes, degrees of empowerment, agency factors, and achieved functionings and capabilities. The document applies this framework to analyze ICT policies in Chile, examining them at the national, regional, and local levels through interviews and observation. It finds that while Chile has strong ICT infrastructure and policies aiming to promote inclusion, there are risks of furthering existing digital and social divides due to an emphasis on competition and efficiency over inclusion.
CUHK presentation, Hong Kong, 12 sept 2012Terry Flew
This document discusses creative industries strategies for developing countries. It argues that while the private sector is dynamic, developing countries need strong state leadership to guide investment and set priorities according to a coherent development vision. A developmental state model is needed to take the lead in "late development" and address the paradox that while creative industries offer great opportunities, there is a substantial performance gap in developing nations. Soft law governance strategies that utilize public-private partnerships and informal regulation can help formalize creative economies.

This document discusses challenges with democracy and citizen participation. It makes the following key points:
1. Current democratic systems are not truly democratic, as they are manipulated by political and economic powers and do not incorporate meaningful citizen participation.
2. Top-down, controlled forms of participation that are initiated by governments do not work and are incompatible with emancipatory, bottom-up participation.
3. For participation tools and systems to be successful, they must be based on an understanding of political realities and designed in a wise, collaborative, and people-centered manner.
4. The document proposes the CitYsens project, which aims to develop collective intelligence in cities by facilitating citizen participation, civic organization involvement,

This document discusses processes involved in developing wind energy technology in Ireland. It introduces a technological innovation systems framework to analyze Ireland's transition. Key findings include:
1) Important global and EU level functions, like directives and funding, influenced Ireland's system by promoting certain visions like favoring wind farms on the west coast.
2) The quality of visions is important, as certain actors and technologies were privileged in Ireland's project-led institutional setting.
3) Ireland's system developed a unique "flavor" as national capabilities combined with the institutional context to enable entrepreneurs and shape the direction of wind energy development.
Participants at CKX were among the first to hear the breakthrough concept from best selling author, strategist and disruptive thinker Don Tapscott (@dtapscott) on how institutions, companies and governments can unlock data, knowledge and ideas to create truly vibrant and open communities and cities in his keynote address.
Tapscott is ranked by Thinkers50 as the one of the most important management thinkers in the world. In his keynote address at CKX, presented by Manulife Asset Management, Tapscott shared a radically new concept of the city. What if institutions opened up and shared data, knowledge and ideas — everything from local government, public transportation, traffic, hospitals, universities, schools, shopping malls, to the power grid, research laboratories and community organizations. “We can create the city as a platform” says Tapscott, “supercharging entrepreneurship, jobs, prosperity, science, learning, sustainability, public safety and good government.”
The author or co-author of 15 books including Radical Openness, Macrowikinomics and Grown Up Digital, Tapscott explained how The Open City is not just a vision, it’s also within our reach.

Governing Platforms by Algorithms? Digital Sovereignty and the Technological ...Christian Katzenbach
Digital Science Match Berlin, 12 May 2017
Digital platforms such as Facebook, Google and Twitter have become key intermediaries for public and personal communication (and much more). Recently, we have seen many conflicts and controversies around rules and rule-setting on these platforms: Who is setting the rules for communication on these platforms? How should we respond to Hate Speech and Fake News? What should platforms do? Is algorithmic filtering, is the technological fix the way out for all these problems? And what do these policy and technological options means for digital sovereignty?
Algorithmen, Daten und schwarze Kisten: Zur (Wieder-)Entdeckung der Technik i...Christian Katzenbach
Vortrag auf der Tagung “Digitale Kommunikation: Zum Stand der Forschung". Jahrestagung der DGPuK- Fachgruppe Digitale Kommunikation. 4. - 5. November 2016, Technische Universität Braunschweig.
Dieser Beitrag entwickelt die These, dass sich in den vergangenen Jahren innerhalb der Kommunikationswissenschaft eine Wiederentdeckung der Technik beobachten lässt. Algorithmen, Daten und Infrastrukturen werden zunehmend zu Gegenständen kommunikationswissenschaftlicher Forschung. Sie werden dabei nicht mehr nur als Auslöser oder als Umwelt des eigentlich Interessanten verstanden – seien es journalistische Arbeitsprozesse, Dynamiken öffentlicher Kommunikation oder Strukturen der Medienökonomie - und -politik. Stattdessen geraten ihre eigene Konstruktion und ihre Einbindung in mediales Handeln in den Fokus der Betrachtung (etwa Katzenbach 2013; Gillespie 2014; Heise 2014; Brüggemann et al. 2014). Ihre Ausgestaltung scheint derzeit so relevant für die Analyse kommunikativer Prozesse zu sein, dass sie nicht länger als Black Box verstanden werden können.
Auf der Grundlage einer Durchsicht von Technik-Konzeptionen in der Kommunikationswissenschaft, sowie techniksoziologischen und institutionentheoretischen Arbeiten zum Verhältnis von Technik und Gesellschaft liefert der Beitrag erstens den Versuch einer Erklärung für die gegenwärtige Wiederentdeckung der Technik. Zweitens formuliert der Beitrag Elemente eines kommunikationswissenschaftlichen Vokabulars für die Beschreibung von Technik in Kommunikationsprozessen jenseits des üblichen Entweder-Oder von technikdeterministischen und kulturalistischen Perspektiven. Drittens lassen sich auf dieser Basis Besonderheiten digitaler Technik herausarbeiten.
Dieser Beitrag adressiert damit primär den Aufruf der Tagungsveranstalter, die theoretischen Perspektiven in der Forschung zu digitaler Kommunikation zu reflektieren und weiterzuentwickeln.
Innovation durch Imitation?Zum Verhältnis von Kopieren und Produzieren in de...Christian Katzenbach
This document summarizes research from the Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society on the relationship between copying and producing in the video game industry. Through analysis of industry handbooks and interviews with 25+ game developers, the research finds that remixing game principles and graphical elements is generally accepted in the industry as a routine practice. Cloning games is also not seen as a major problem and is considered "part of the business". Copyright law does not strongly influence daily development practices. However, developers employ different strategies, with indies preferring low IP regimes and larger studios drawing from TV formats.

Between Coordination and Regulation. Conceptualizing Governance in Internet ...Christian Katzenbach
This document discusses conceptualizing governance in internet governance. It argues that existing definitions of internet governance have shortcomings and contradictions. It proposes viewing governance as "reflexive coordination," where institutions designed to enable coordination themselves create new coordination issues. Governance involves coordinating this reflexive coordination process. The document uses the example of the Internet Governance Forum to illustrate internet governance as reflexive coordination, where actors continuously negotiate boundaries and debate practices.
Digitale Objekte in digitalen Öffentlichkeiten: Die Rolle von Hashtags in po...Christian Katzenbach
Vortrag auf der DGPuK 2014, 29. Mai 2014, Passau
Digitale Öffentlichkeiten und ihre Rolle in der Politik stehen schon länger im Fokus der kommunikationswissenschaftlichen Internetforschung. Mit der breiten Etablierung sozialer Medien – auch als Forschungsobjekt – zeigt sich indes, dass Plattformen wie Facebook oder Twitter mehr als eine reine Vermittlerrolle in digitalen Öffentlichkeiten zukommt: Indem diese Plattformen die Kommunikation, die über sie stattfindet, konfigurieren, tragen sie maßgeblich zur Entstehung, Aufrechterhaltung und Auflösung digitaler Öffentlichkeiten bei – und präformieren diese auch in Struktur und Inhalt.
Unser Beitrag untersucht deshalb die Rolle von digitale Objekten in digitalen Öffentlichkeiten im Kontext der Mehr-Ebenen-Modelle von Öffentlichkeit von Gerhards/Neidhart und Klaus. Wir betrachten die plattformspezifischen Konfigurationen und hinterfragen dabei, wie digitale Öffentlichkeiten entstehen und wie sie sich stabilisieren. Anhand zweier jüngerer Fallbeispiele – #aufschrei und #bürgerforum – analysieren wir mit unterschiedlichen Methoden, welche Rolle Hashtags als „digital social objects” zukommt.
Zur Dynamik von Öffentlichkeiten in Kneipen und Weblogs, auf Facebook und Twitter.

HijackLoader Evolution: Interactive Process HollowingDonato Onofri
CrowdStrike researchers have identified a HijackLoader (aka IDAT Loader) sample that employs sophisticated evasion techniques to enhance the complexity of the threat. HijackLoader, an increasingly popular tool among adversaries for deploying additional payloads and tooling, continues to evolve as its developers experiment and enhance its capabilities.
In their analysis of a recent HijackLoader sample, CrowdStrike researchers discovered new techniques designed to increase the defense evasion capabilities of the loader. The malware developer used a standard process hollowing technique coupled with an additional trigger that was activated by the parent process writing to a pipe. This new approach, called "Interactive Process Hollowing", has the potential to make defense evasion stealthier.
