Education and persistence are two weapons we have but it has to
be a combination of both to prevent attacks on all of us. ;-D<br>

<p>Hello advisors. There can be no doubt that it is a
turbulent world out there right now -- and the Internet,
as the world's critical communications medium, is also
experiencing an increase in potential disruptions. The

Cyberspace, was a member of the ICANN Board (2013 –
2015) and served as Special Ambassador for the Net
Mundial Initiative (2014 – 2016).</span> It is a great
overview of Internet-related activities around the world
that we might want to be aware of -- especially around
the issue of fragmentation.<br>
</p>
<p><span>"... if somebody would have expected that the
Covid-19-Disaster is a wake-up call for the world to
be more united, work hand in hand, and pool resources
reducing risks of a borderless threat, this "somebody"
was wrong. 2020 was dominated by "My country first."
The global cyberspace was filled with building new
barriers, widening old gaps, growing mistrust, nasty
cyberattacks, more cybercrime and the first
Internet-based drone-war in the Caucasian mountains.
What about 2021? Will the pendulum swing back? Or will
the digital cacophony continue to grow in a
splintering Internet?"</span></p>
