NCUC Press Release - 3 October 2012
Top Civil Society Leaders Converge in Toronto for "ICANN & Internet
Governance: Security and Freedom in a Connected World"
Cyber-Security Expert Ron Deibert and new ICANN CEO Fadi Chehade Address
Non-Commercial Users Policy Conference on Eve of ICANN #45
Public interest groups involved in ICANN will gather for the event,
"ICANN & Internet Governance: Security & Freedom in a Connected World"
on Friday 12 October at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel in Toronto,
Canada. Sponsored by the Noncommercial Users Constituency (NCUC), the
voice of civil society in ICANN, the policy conference will focus on key
ICANN policy issues like the need to promote both cyber-security and
human rights in the development of global Internet policies. The event
kicks-off with a morning address from cyber-security expert Ron Deibert,
Director of the Canada Centre for Global Security Studies and The
Citizen Lab, an inter-disciplinary research and development hothouse at
the University of Toronto. Deibert will address the need to establish a
cyber-security strategy for global civil society.
"Cyberspace is at a watershed moment. Global civil society, now
increasingly recognised as an important stakeholder in cyberspace
governance, needs to step up to the challenge," said Deibert. "What is
required is nothing less than a serious and comprehensive security
strategy for cyberspace that addresses the very real threats that
plague governments and corporations, addresses national and other
security concerns in a forthright manner, while protecting and
preserving open networks of information and communication."
The afternoon sessions begin with welcoming remarks from Fadi Chehade,
ICANN's new Chief Executive Officer, a Lebanese-Egyptian IT
entrepreneur, who took the helm of ICANN last month and pronounced he
was committed to strengthening the multi-stakeholder process of Internet
governance. Additional speakers at NCUC's policy conference include
Fionna Alexander from the U.S. Commerce Department and other
governmental representatives. The all-day event's four panel sessions
include participation from ICANN board members and senior staff, civil
society and Internet business leaders.
The conference will explore a broad range of ICANN policy issues
including privacy concerns related to the whois policy that requires the
publication of registrants' personal data and discussion of ongoing
negotiations with law enforcement agencies regarding a related policy
that privacy authorities have called "unlawful". The geopolitical
landscape of Internet governance models and the shifting role of
stakeholders will be addressed by experts from around the world. NCUC's
conference will also explore policy issues related to controversial new
domain names such as protection for freedom of expression in the face of
cultural differences and sensitivities. Concerns about intellectual
property rights and new top-level domain names remains an area under
rapid development and will be ripe for discussion as well as activities
related to extra-territorial domain name seizures. Including human
rights principles in ICANN policy development will be considered, in
addition to ways civil society can become involved in the development of
ICANN policies, which impact Internet users worldwide.
NCUC represents more than 250 noncommercial organizations and
individuals from around the world on ICANN policy matters and was formed
in 1999 in Berlin at one of ICANN's earliest meetings. Currently NCUC
represents a wide range of non-commercial interests in ICANN policy
development including universities and educational institutions, human
rights organizations, development, promotion of the arts, children's
welfare, scientific research, community networking, and many other
non-commercial interests. NCUC participates at ICANN as a constituency
within the Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group (NCSG) and the Generic Names
Supporting Organization (GNSO), which makes ICANN policy recommendations
and selects board members.
"The conference subtitle recognizes our shared twin goals of security
and freedom, and questions to what extent must we sacrifice one for the
other," said meeting organizer Robin Gross of NCUC and IP Justice, a
civil liberties organization based in San Francisco. The constituency's
2012 Toronto conference builds on the policy conference NCUC held in
2011 in which craigslist.org<http://craigslist.org> founder Craig Newmark a=
ddressed the ICANN
community in San Francisco.
The 2012 conference concludes with an evening reception at the historic
Fairmont Royal York overlooking the beautiful Canadian waterfront. The
event is free to attend and open the public, but advance registration is
required because space is limited. NCUC's conference is held with
support from the Brazilian Internet Steering Registry CGI.br<http://CGI.br>=
, the Public
Interest Registry (PIR), and ICANN. Civil Society event partners
include The Citizen Lab, the Association for Progressive Communications
(APC) and the Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic
(CIPPIC) based at the University of Ottawa.
Conference sessions will be audiocast live and archived for later
downloading, and remote participation will be available from the event's
website via Adobe Connect for those not able to travel to Toronto on 12
October.
