Contribute!

Dear All, 

The IGF Secretariat would like to remind all stakeholders that they still 
have the opportunity to contribute to the IGF's Best Practice Forum (BPF) 
on Cybersecurity. 

The BPF has put out a public call for inputs, in the form of a 
questionnaire, and is accepting submissions until the end of this week, 
Friday 15 September. 

Please see the call details below and on the IGF's website, where the list 
of contributions has also been posted. 

Many thanks to those who have already contributed, and we look forward to 
your inputs! 

Best regards, 
Eleonora

Subject:        Cybersecurity BPF - Call for Inputs Now Open! 

Dear All, 

On behalf of the IGF 2017 Best Practice Forum (BPF) on Cybersecurity, we 
are pleased to inform you that the BPF has opened a call for contributions 
until 15 September 2017. 

All stakeholders are now invited to make their submissions using the 
questionnaire below. 

This year's BPF work focuses on the cybersecurity implications of policies 
for universal access and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals 
(SDGs) - we would be grateful for your inputs on these important issues! 
All submission instructions are included in the call details below and 
available on the IGF's website. 

For any questions, please do reach out to the Secretariat, BPF lead expert 
Maarten van Horenbeeck, and/or co-facilitators Segun Olugbile and Markus 
Kummer. 

We look forward to receiving your contributions! 

Best regards,

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
) by 15 September 2017. 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 after the 15th of 
September, particularly contributions 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 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: 
o        Denial of Service attacks and other cybersecurity issues that 
impact the reliability and access to Internet services 
o        Security of mobile devices, which are the vehicle of Internet 
growth in many countries, and fulfill critical goals such as payments 
o        Potential abuse by authorities, including surveillance of 
Internet usage, or the use of user-provided data for different purposes 
than intended 
o        Confidentiality and availability of sensitive information, in 
particular in medical and health services 
o        Online abuse and gender-based violence 
o        Security risks of shared critical services that support Internet 
access, such as the Domain Name System (DNS), and Internet Exchange Point 
(IXP) communities 
o        Vulnerabilities in the technologies supporting industrial control 
systems 
o        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 
o        The lack of Secure Development Processes combined with an immense 
growth in the technologies being created and used on a daily basis 
o        Unauthorized access to devices that take an increasing role in 
people?s daily lives 
o        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? [attachment "IGF2017_BPF Questionnaire for
