Fwd: [Internet Policy] Economics of data breaches
by Barrack Otieno 25 Nov '16

25 Nov '16

Listers, This might be of interest to some of us. Regards ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Richard Hill <rhill(a)hill-a.ch> Date: Thu, 24 Nov 2016 10:37:43 +0100 Subject: [Internet Policy] Economics of data breaches To: internetpolicy(a)elists.isoc.org I don't think that the ISOC 2016 Global Internet Report was yet posted to this list, so here it is: https://www.internetsociety.org/globalinternetreport/2016/ The report focuses on security issues, in particular the economic issues that engender the lack of security that we all know about. I think that it is an excellent report (full disclosure: I contributed to the report). I'd like to highlight here what I consider to be two of the key points in the report. The first point is that Internet growth rates are slowing down (see p. 33 of the Report). While this is not necessarily an issue in parts of the world where most of the population is already connected, it is a serious issue for developing countries, where significant proportions of the population are not connected. Lack of trust may be a factor in discouraging access to the Internet. As the Report says on p. 34: "The slowdown in Internet growth rates, particularly in regions that were already falling behind the global average, lends urgency to the Internet Society's objective to connect the unconnected. There is evidence that existing users are increasingly concerned about privacy and security issues worldwide, and this may start to spill over to new users, who might become more reluctant to go online. If people trust the Internet, they are more likely to use it. Trust is at the heart of the Internet economy, and more and more at the heart of economic growth. This lends urgency to our objective to promote and restore trust in the Internet." The other point is the clear identification of the economic issues that lead to inadequate security, in particular externalities. Security experts have long recognized that lack of ICT security creates a negative externality[1]. For example, if an electronic commerce service is hacked and credit card information is disclosed, the users of the service users will have to change their credit cards. This is a cost both for the user and for the credit card company. But that cost is not visible to the electronic commerce service. Consequently, the electronic commerce service does not have an incentive to invest in greater security measures. A comprehensive discussion is given in pages 103-107 of the Report, see in particular the examples on p. 101. A summary is presented on p. 18 of the Report: "There is a market failure that governs investment in cybersecurity. First, data breaches have externalities; costs that are not accounted for by organisations. Second, even where investments are made, as a result of asymmetric information, it is difficult for organizations to convey the resulting level of cybersecurity to the rest of the ecosystem. As a result, the incentive to invest in cybersecurity is limited; organisations do not bear all the cost of failing to invest, and cannot fully benefit from having invested."

Fwd: Open Forum : ISOC's perspectives on outcomes of WTSA-16
by Barrack Otieno 24 Nov '16

24 Nov '16

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Elizabeth Oluoch via Internet Society <Mail(a)connectedcommunity.org> Date: Wed, 23 Nov 2016 18:46:30 +0000 Subject: Open Forum : ISOC's perspectives on outcomes of WTSA-16 To: otieno.barrack(a)gmail.com == Please, reply above this line == Dear Members, The ITU World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly 2016 (WTSA-16) meeting concluded just over 2.5 weeks ago where we had some time to reflect on the meeting in order to provide our perspectives on the some of the key outcomes. As such, our WTSA-16 Outcome report is available here: https://www.internetsociety.org/doc/itu-wtsa-2016-outcomes-internet-society… <https://www.internetsociety.org/doc/itu-wtsa-2016-outcomes-internet-society…> Additionally, we invite you to read attached contributions from Petko Kantchev on the new WTSA-16 Resolution on Studies concerning the protection of users of telecommunication/information and communication technology services and Verengai Mabika on new WTSA-16 resolution on Promoting the use of information and communication technologies to bridge the financial inclusion gap. As a side note, ISOC was fortunate to have a very strong and diverse delegation comprised of ISOC staff and members that brought various expertise and strengths to the conference. In ITU Conferences, speaking and voting rights are limited to Member States while Sector Members can participate only as observers (Ref: Article 3, ITU Constitution & Convention <https://www.itu.int/dms_pub/itu-s/oth/02/09/S02090000155201PDFE.PDF>). At WTSA-16, the lack of technical expertise and substantive knowledge in some of the discussions was a chief drawback particularly when sector members were present but could not take the floor. Despite this limitation, the ISOC delegation was consulted at various levels and our information resources on our WTSA-16 section on the website referenced/highlighted by delegates in some of the more contentious proceedings. ISOCs information was credited by several delegations as essentially shaping the discussion on one of the key WTSA-16 issues which resulted in a more favorable outcome on that issue. The diversity of our delegation was an asset as delegates from various countries approached us and it is also where we could be most effective in shaping the discussions given the meeting constraints. Looking ahead to 2017 (WTDC) and also 2018 (Plenipotentiary), we will continue to consult and partner with our members in these preparations, so stay tuned.

Let me first address the issue of cybersquatting as opposed to the practice of selling domains in the Domain After Market. Cyber-Squatting is best described as the practice of registering names, especially well-known company or brand names, as Internet domains, in the hope of reselling them at a profit. For example:- Walmart.co.keCarrefour.co.keYahoo.co.ke (which incidentally I once owned when I didn't know any better! :-) )Google.co.ke (which incidentally was free once not too long ago) The domain aftermarket is the secondary market for Internet domain names which a party interested in acquiring a domain that is already registered bids or negotiates a price to effect the transfer of registration from the registered holder of that domain name.The professional pursuit of speculation in the domain aftermarket is known as domaining. The domain aftermarket has grown substantially, as an increasing number of generic domains names that promise 'marketing appeal' and 'desirability' are registered by domain warehouses, or resellers.The domain aftermarket is facilitated by auction houses which provide communication methods for buyers and sellers to interact, often anonymously, to negotiate and close a transaction. They often provide additional services, such as financial escrow services and domain parking.Now let's address the uhuru.co.ke case. This is similar to the Evans Kidero case sometime back. In that particular case the Good Governor's team had the good sense to negotiate and acquire the domain that had slipped through their fingers.So is Uhuru a Brand Name or a Generic Name? A quick look at Google search results indicate that the word Uhuru has a generic meaning (freedom) and is also a name. So which one is it? A Brand Name or a Generic one. Let's do another exercise. Word. Generic name or brand name for one of the most successful computer programs ever?You get the picture..Does this issue belong in the Cyber-Security bill?My take:- A resounding NO. Let's apportion the blame where it belongs..with the guys who should have known better and let such a valuable Generic Name lapse.KeNIC are you listening? Seems like some people need 101 lessons on Defensive Domain Registration. And to Corporates out there here's my advise for free:-Move your domain custodian services from the IT Department to the Marketing Department.My two cowrie shells..

Fw: [Internet Policy] ICANN's US jurisdiction
by WANGARI KABIRU 21 Nov '16

21 Nov '16

Blessed Monday colleagues! With the transition, would be interesting to know how "much Kenya and Africa" cares and dares to act when it comes to the jurisdiction. I may relate this with the UN bodies. Kenya hosting one of the UN organs is a source of not only diplomatic prestige but also power position. On the Internet front, perhaps this is the time to be the heart and not observers of the next phase. >From the India Civil Societies Statement (attached), share in comments by Parminder below;"Recently, the US gave up its role of signing entries to the Internet's root zone file, which representsthe addressing system for the global Internet. This is about the Internet addresses that end with.com, .net, and so on, and the numbers associated with each of them that help us navigate theInternet. We thank and congratulate the US government for taking this important step in the rightdirection. However, the organisation that manages this system, ICANN1, a US non-profit, continuesto be under US jurisdiction, and hence subject to its courts, legislature and executive agencies.Keeping such an important global public infrastructure under US jurisdiction is expected to becomea very problematic means of extending US laws and policies across the world.We the undersigned therefore appeal that urgent steps be taken to transit ICANN from its currentUS jurisdiction. Only then can ICANN become a truly global organisation2. We would like to makeit clear that our objection is not directed particularly against the US; we are simply against animportant global public infrastructure being subject to a single country's jurisdiction....." Be blessed! Regards/Wangari--- Pray God Bless. 2013Wangari circa - "Being of the Light, We are Restored Through Faith in Mind, Body and Spirit; We Manifest The Kingdom of God on Earth". On Wednesday, 9 November 2016, 5:00, parminder <parminder(a)itforchange.net> wrote: All As you know, the issue of jurisdiction of ICANN is under consideration at ICANN's community process (in the accountability track where there is a sub group discussing this issue). ICANN is currently meeting in Hyderabad, India, from 3rd to 9th November. Today, on the last day of ICANN's Hyderabad meeting, the enclosed statement was issued by key Indian civil society organisations engaged with Internet governance issues, supported by two key global networks involved in this area. The statement expresses the urgent need for transiting ICANN from being under the jurisdiction of one country, presenting the rationale of why this is important to do. It also lists some possible options of doing so, towards beginning a serious action-oriented deliberation on this very important matter. Unlike what is often understood, the jurisdiction issue is not just a matter of sovereign prestige and self respect of the states but concerns vital matters impacting people's rights. This is especially so as the society gets more and more digitised in all areas. We welcome comments and feedback. The statement has been issued by the following Indian civil society organisations. Centre for Internet and Society, Bangalore IT for Change, Bangalore Free Software Movement of India, Hyderabad Society for Knowledge Commons, New Delhi Digital Empowerment Foundation, New Delhi Delhi Science Forum, New Delhi Software Freedom Law Center India, New Delhi Third World Network - India, New Delhi It is supported by the following global networks: Association For Progressive Communications Just Net Coalition We will soon expand this effort to enlist more global support.

http://www.internetsociety.org/events/first-summit-community-networks-africa First Summit on Community Networks in Africa Introduction/Background Connecting the next Billion is one of the central issues on the international Internet and Internet Governance agenda. At the Internet Society, we consider “Connecting the Next Billion” as a key issue, as it relates directly to our mission and vision. Despite the success of the mobile revolution in Africa, there are significant barriers to connectivity. Community established networks also referred to as “community networks” (CN) are an emerging and sustainable solution to address the connectivity gaps that exist in urban and rural areas around the world. In Africa, where these gaps are more evident. A recent survey was able to identify 37 community networks initiatives in 12 African countries, of which 25 are considered active. [1] <http://www.internetsociety.org/events/1st-summit-community-networks-africa#…> To understand better how this phenomenon is evolving in the continent, the First Summit on Community Networks in Africa will be held on 22nd November 2016 in Nairobi Kenya within the AfriCHI conference. The Summit aims to bring together more than ten community network operators in Africa to engage in experience sharing on their challenges and opportunities. The objective of the summit is to promote increased collaboration between community network operators in the region and to provide an opportunity for them to engage with other stakeholders.

Gender Balance vide Constitution(s): [ISOC Kenya] : Election Results
by WANGARI KABIRU 28 Sep '16

28 Sep '16

Blessed Monday! Thank you Davis and team for the electoral updates! Commendations to all candidates on putting their best foot forth. Kindly you may enlighten us to be in the same context on what the ISOCKE constitution holds (or we say all the constitutions applicable to this election - there were comments on application of Kenyan law ) with respect to gender balance.Elective positions are the ones that were being voted on now. They are the only ones that matter in this discourse. I don't recall "filler affirmative action appointment roles" of Men Reps and Women Reps. Committees (subcommittees) and committee heads were/are not elective positions. Was this red-flag which was discussed by several candidates necessarily have been looked into?

Fwd: [Internet Policy] Swiss referendum on new surveillance law
by Barrack Otieno 28 Sep '16

28 Sep '16

Listers, Interesting developments in Switzerland. Regards ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Richard Hill <rhill(a)hill-a.ch> Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2016 11:13:33 +0200 Subject: [Internet Policy] Swiss referendum on new surveillance law To: internetpolicy(a)elists.isoc.org The referendum on the new Swiss surveillance law resulted in a vote of 65% in favor of the law. That is, only 35 of the people voted against the law. In my opinion, that is a low score. The low score against the law is probably due largely to the fact that the government, and the political parties supporting the law, assured voters that the law will not be used to institute mass surveillance, and that at most 10-20 individuals per year will be targeted for surveillance. So the referendum and the resulting public debate was useful in that it resulted in a clear statement regarding the intended scale of the permitted surveillance. Opponents of the law must now carefully observe its implementation to ensure that the assurances given during the referendum campaign are kept.

Interesting. How do we interpret Part IX of the County Governments Act? Section 95: (1) A County government shall establish mechanisms to facilitate public communication and access to information in the form of media with the widest public outreach in the county, which may include— (a) television stations; (b) information communication technology centres; (c) websites; (d) community radio stations; (e) public meetings; and (f) traditional media. (2) The county government shall encourage and facilitate other means of mass communication including traditional media.

My two cents on this from a practical experience. Most counties are still building their Hansards.. The content they have right now isnt much...Even their websites are scanty.. Most of their communication is scattered here and there... From the content point of view do counties have sufficient capacity to run radio stations(24 hours a day). Why not build on this capacity first, establish studios and communications departments then build capacity to manage radio and TV stations. I saw a few advertise for interested bidders to provide capacity to broadcast... I havent seen much towards the achievement of sufficient capacity to broadcast counties' own signals...If you check whats in the newspapers, social media, websites and TV/radio stations bulletins would you say it's enough to justify a frequency? Am not against CA issuing frequencies and licenses just worried about sufficient content..

I respectfully disagree with @Eshuchi, @Githaiga et al. The discussion on the CAK decision is a policy one. Our responses must focus on that and clearly reiterate what may be connived to be media pluralism and diversity. Similarly, we must understand that KBC is on a deathbed. Poor programming. No financial resources. Obsolete equipment and technology. High debts. Why doesn't the national government utilise KBC? Why do they use private media ? What is the cost of media in National government? why must that right for County Government be subjugated at the altar of...? The argument that we have enough radios may suffice from an operational point but ask yourself why we thought it imprudent when KBC had numerous radio channels why did we advocate for more community, commercial and public media service entities. The decision is has no basis in law but may be justified when other factors are brought to bear like a group of counties deciding to start one station as opposed to exclusive 47 stations.
