  1. A Tricky WCIT Keith Davidson

  2. Introduction Keith Davidson: • InternetNZ International Director • ISOC Board of Trustees • ICANN ccNSO Vice Chair • Ex Chair of APTLD • NZ Government delegation sometimes • Ex ISP owner • Speaking today in a personal capacity

  3. ITU • WCIT 2012 failed • Additional signatures to ITR’s makes no difference • ITU procedures are ingenuous: • “Taking the temperature” • Post WCIT activities

  4. Multistakeholderism Accepted WSIS text embodies the concepts: • All actors including Governments, business, the technical community and civil society are engaged • Policy development rises through bottom-up, open and transparent, consensus based decision making • Critical element of equal participation • Broadly enshrined by ISOC, ICANN, W3C, IETF, RIR’s and others in the Internet ecosystem • Broadly endorsed by US Government, G8, OECD in relation to Internet Governance

  5. Anti-Multistakeholderism • UN, ITU may perceive threats to longstanding procedures from multistakeholderism • Authorotarian Governments tend to dislike the concept • China has over 500 million Internet users? • Where is the Internet in its life cycle?

  6. What can we do? • Be engaged in the next rounds of ITU activities • Enthuse greater local participation in ISOC • Develop high level principles for your chapter

  7. INZ Policy Principles • The Internet should be open and uncaptureable. • Internet markets should be competitive. • Internet governance should be determined by open, multi-stakeholder processes. • Laws and policies should work with the architecture of the Internet, not against it. • Human rights should apply online. • The Internet should be accessible by and inclusive of everyone. • Technology changes quickly, so laws and policies should focus on activity. • The Internet is nationally important infrastructure, so it should be protected.

  8. INZ TLD Principles • Domain name markets should be competitive. • Choice for registrants should be maintained and expanded. • Domain registrations should be first come, first served. • Parties to domain registrations should be on a level playing field. • Registrant data should be public. • Registry / Registrar operations within a TLD should be split. • TLD policy should be determined by open multi-stakeholder processes.
