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?

7 INZ Policy Principles 1.The Internet should be open and uncaptureable. 2.Internet markets should be competitive. 3.Internet governance should be determined by open, multi-stakeholder processes. 4.Laws and policies should work with the architecture of the Internet, not against it. 5.Human rights should apply online. 6.The Internet should be accessible by and inclusive of everyone. 7.Technology changes quickly, so laws and policies should focus on activity. 8.The Internet is nationally important infrastructure, so it should be protected.

8 INZ TLD Principles 1.Domain name markets should be competitive. 2.Choice for registrants should be maintained and expanded. 3.Domain registrations should be first come, first served. 4.Parties to domain registrations should be on a level playing field. 5.Registrant data should be public. 6.Registry / Registrar operations within a TLD should be split. 7.TLD policy should be determined by open multi- stakeholder processes.
