Targets: 9.1. This workshop aims to support the economic development and human well-being by discussing best-practices to build reliable, secure and resilient Internet infrastructure. The organizations involved in this workshop are all operating on a global level, which is paramount for Internet’s interoperability and security.
9.2. The Internet is an enabler for inclusive and sustainable industrialization and for job creation. Trust in the Internet infrastructure is essential to achieve these objectives. Ways to adopt best practices, as discussed in this workshop, can ensure the creation of a trusted global network.
9.3. A safe and secure Internet enables e-financing and e-banking. These services are important in developing countries for the creation of small-scale industrial and other enterprises.
9.4. The adoption of best practices and published technical standards work towards clean and environmentally sound technologies. In addition to upgrading the existing infrastructure, best practice adoption also enables the use of clean technologies.
9.5a Global cooperation in scientific research towards increased safety, security and resilience in the Internet is an underlying principle of Internet security. The participating organizations and dynamic coalition in this workshop all promote and support global cooperation and have themselves a global mandate and reach. This also means that they work towards facilitating development of resilient infrastructure globally, through technological and technical support.
10.6 Decision-making processes in Internet security are based on the multistakeholder model. Representation from developing countries allows for a more effective, credible, accountable and legitimate process.
16.7 The development of best practices and technological standards is based on a multistakeholder model, ensuring responsive, inclusive, participatory and representative decision-making in global Internet security.
16.8 The dissemination of Internet standards and their adoption by users is essential for Internet security. Questions of this workshop also aim to answer how to broaden and strengthen the participation of developing countries in these processes.
17.13 The purpose of this workshop is to explore how to best enhance Internet stability and coordinate policy and technical standards implementation at a global level
17.14 The adoption of best practices and technical standards is necessary for enhancing policy coherence globally.
17.15 The multistakeholder development processes in Internet security respect each country’s policy space and leadership.
17.16 It is through a multistakeholder partnership that the organizations participating in this workshop can mobilize their knowledge and expertise to support the SDGs. The workshop aims to find methods to better share this knowledge and expertise with a wider range of actors in all countries
17.17. Through the multistakeholder model, effective public-private and civil society partnerships can be easily promoted, for best results in deployment and implementation of best practices and technical standards for Internet security.
Description:
Best practices and published technical standards exist for most Internet technologies. But how do you publicize best practices and get enough networks to follow them to ensure that users can trust that an Internet technology is secure? During this Workshop, leaders from ICANN, the IS3C Coalition (an IGF dynamic coalition), and ISOC will present their work in this area, focusing on DNS, IoT, Routing, and supply chain. All three speakers will describe and discuss with the workshop attendees how to achieve cooperation at a global level, and why it’s important for Internet security.
Expected Outcomes: The global cooperation described during this workshop only works when we have volunteers from diverse backgrounds, geographies, and with experiences participate in the different initiatives. We expect some participants in this workshop to volunteer to lend their expertise to each of the work streams which are ongoing at IS3C Coalition, ISOC, and ICANN. The workshop not only aims to introduce and discuss the initiatives but also to create a virtuous circle by growing the volunteer community.
Hybrid Format: This workshop is designed as a discussion; it’s not a lecture or a typical panel where panelists present slides for 25 minutes and then take 5 minutes of audience Q&A. Instead, the workshop is designed to be interactive with the audience, both in-person and online. First, a strong and experienced workshop leader has been chosen who will be asking questions of both the audience and the panelists, challenging everyone to share their expertise at the microphones. An online moderator will work hand in hand with the workshop leader to fully integrate the online participants in the discussions. Second, audience members, again both in-person and online, will be given ample opportunity to speak during the workshop, both to each other and to the panelists. Third, throughout the workshop, the online audience will be presented with polls to answer that will help shape the discussion.
