BPF!
Importance: High

Dear All, 

The IGF Secretariat is pleased to inform you that the 2017 Best Practice 
Forum (BPF) on Cybersecurity is continuing to accept contributions for its 
output document. 

Although inputs will be accepted on a rolling basis, please make your 
submissions by 30 September for guaranteed inclusion in the document. 

The call details, including how to contribute and the questionnaire for 
framing inputs, are provided below and on the IGF's website. All 
contributions received thus far are available here 

For any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Secretariat, BPF 
lead expert Maarten van Horenbeeck, and/or co-facilitators Segun Olugbile 
and Markus Kummer. 

We look forward to hearing from many of you! 

Best regards, 

Eleonora 
IGF Secretariat 

BPF on Cybersecurity 2017 - Call for Contributions 

All stakeholders are invited to submit written contributions addressing 
the below questions and issues to the 2017 IGF BPF on Cybersecurity 
mailing list (subscribe: 
https://www.intgovforum.org/mailman/listinfo/bp_cybersec_2016_intgovforum.org
). While it is envisioned that initial drafting of the output document 
will begin on 15 September, this should be considered a soft deadline as 
contributions will be welcome on a rolling basis, particularly from IGF 
National and Regional Initiatives (NRIs) and from other relevant entities 
or organisations who may be holding meetings relating to cybersecurity 
prior to the IGF annual meeting in December. Contributions received past 
30 September may not be guaranteed for inclusion in the BPF's output 
document.  
Contributions will then be compiled and synthesized by the Secretariat, 
and further circulated to the community for comment and further work 
towards an output document for the BPF to be presented at the 12th IGF in 
Geneva, Switzerland from 18-21 December. 
All individuals and organizations are asked to kindly try to keep their 
contributions to no more than 2-3 pages, and are encouraged to include 
URLs/Links to relevant information/examples/best practices as applicable. 
When including specific examples or detailed proposals, those may be 
included as an Appendix to the document. Please attach contributions as 
Word Documents (or other applicable non-PDF text). 
Overview: 
During 2015 and 2016, the Policy Options for Connecting and Enabling the 
Next Billion(s) (CENB) activity within the Internet Governance Forum 
identified two major elements: 
Which policy options are effective at creating an enabling environment, 
including deploying infrastructure, increasing usability, enabling users 
and ensuring affordability; 
How Connecting and Enabling the Next Billion(s) contributes to reaching 
the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The Best Practice Forum on Cybersecurity realizes that making Internet 
access more universal, and thus it supporting the SDGs, has significant 
cybersecurity implications. Well-developed cybersecurity helps contribute 
to meeting the SDGs. Poor cybersecurity can reduce the effectiveness of 
these technologies, and thus limit our opportunities to helping achieve 
the SDGs. 
BPF participants have conducted an initial study of how the policy 
proposals compiled as part of CENB Phase I and II may affect, or be 
affected by, cybersecurity implications. 
As part of this ongoing effort, the IGF is now calling for public input to 
collect additional risks and cybersecurity policy recommendations that can 
help mitigate security impacts, and help ensure ICTs and the Internet 
continue to help contribute to achieving the SDGs.

Questions: 
How does good cybersecurity contribute to the growth of and trust in ICTs 
and Internet Technologies, and their ability to support the Sustainable 
Development Goals (SDGs)? 
How does poor cybersecurity hinder the growth of and trust in ICTs and 
Internet Technologies, and their ability to support the Sustainable 
Development Goals (SDGs)? 
Assessment of the CENB Phase II policy recommendations identified a few 
clear threats. Do you see particular policy options to help address, with 
particular attention to the multi-stakeholder environment, the following 
cybersecurity challenges: 
Denial of Service attacks and other cybersecurity issues that impact the 
reliability and access to Internet services 
Security of mobile devices, which are the vehicle of Internet growth in 
many countries, and fulfill critical goals such as payments 
Potential abuse by authorities, including surveillance of Internet usage, 
or the use of user-provided data for different purposes than intended 
Confidentiality and availability of sensitive information, in particular 
in medical and health services 
Online abuse and gender-based violence 
Security risks of shared critical services that support Internet access, 
such as the Domain Name System (DNS), and Internet Exchange Point (IXP) 
communities 
Vulnerabilities in the technologies supporting industrial control systems 
Use of information collected for a particular purpose, being repurposed 
for other, inappropriate purposes. For instance, theft of information from 
smart meters, smart grids and Internet of Things devices for competitive 
reasons, or the de-anonymization of improperly anonymized citizen data 
The lack of Secure Development Processes combined with an immense growth 
in the technologies being created and used on a daily basis 
Unauthorized access to devices that take an increasing role in people?s 
daily lives 
Other: describe a cybersecurity issue critical to developing the SDGs in 
ways not listed above relevant to your stakeholder community (100 words or 
less)
Many Internet developments do not happen in a highly coordinated way - a 
technology may be developed in the technical community or private sector, 
and used by other communities and interact in unexpected ways. 
Stakeholders are managing complexity.
This both shows the strength and opportunities of ICTs and Internet 
Technologies, but also the potential risks. New technologies may be 
insufficiently secure, resulting in harms when they are deployed: 
conversely we may adopt security requirements or measures that prevent the 
development, deployment, or widespread use of technologies that would 
generate unforeseen benefits. Where do you think lies the responsibility 
of each stakeholder community in helping ensure cybersecurity does not 
hinder future Internet development? 
Where do you think lies the responsibility of each stakeholder community 
in helping ensure cybersecurity does not hinder future Internet 
development? 
What is for you the most critical cybersecurity issue that needs solving 
and would benefit most from a multi-stakeholder approach within this BPF? 
Should any stakeholders be specifically invited in order for this issue to 
be addressed?
