Economie de l'Internet à l'OCDE - 28 et 29 juin 2011

L'Internet Society, avec d'autres organisations du Comité consultatif
technique Internet (ITAC - www.internetac.org) a participé à la réunion de
haut niveau sur l'économie de l'Internet organisée par l'OCDE les
28-29 Juinà Paris.

Ces deux journées ont été l'occasion d'échanger sur un certain nombre de
principes devant favoriser le développement de l'Internet (
http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/40/21/48289796.pdf).

Ce fut la première fois dans une négociation internationale que les
intervenants pouvaient participer sur un pied d'égalité. La reconnaissance
et l'acceptation par tous du modèle multi- parties prenantes marque une
formidable avancée qui l'emporte sur le fait qu'un consensus complet n'ait
pu etre atteint entre tous les intervenants.
Nous continuerons à développer nos relations de travail avec l'OCDE et
avec tous
les intervenants, et veillerons à promouvoir le modèle multi parties
prenantes et les principes d'ouverture.

> Dear Members,
>
> The Internet Society, along with other Internet Technical Advisory
> Committee (ITAC; www.internetac.org ) organizations participated to the
> OECD’s High-Level Meeting on the Internet Economy (28-29 June, Paris).
>
> The HLM was the occasion of agreeing on a number of high-level policy
> principles to foster the development of the Internet (
> http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/40/21/48289796.pdf ). Stakeholders where
> invited to participate in the drafting process which led to a an improved
> and more balanced outcome.
>
> The nature of the multi-stakeholder process has many benefits, including
> the ability to continue being effective even when all parties don't
> necessarily agree.  While some members of civil society continue to have
> reservations about the wording in the communique, the reservations were
> discussed during an open and inclusive negotiation. This was the first time
> in any international negotiation that all stakeholders could participate on
> an equal footing. We are aware that this is a learning process for all
> actors involved and in our view the recognition and acceptance of the
> multi-stakeholder model outweighs the fact that we had to accept some
> compromise language and we did not achieve a full consensus among all
> stakeholders. With this process we were able to set the foundation for
> future success.
>
> As we continue developing our working relationship with the OECD and all
> stakeholders, we will continue promoting the multi-stakeholder model and
> openness principles.

> MULTISTAKEHOLDER INPUT IMPROVES OUTCOMES OF OECD MINISTERIAL MEETING ON
> FUTURE OF THE INTERNET ECONOMY
>
> Internet Technical Advisory Committee expresses support for OECD
> multistakeholder approach
>
> PARIS - 29 June 2011 - In conjunction with the OECD High Level Meeting on
> "The Internet Economy: Generating Innovation and Growth" held on 28-29 June
> 2011, the Internet Technical Advisory Committee (ITAC)--a worldwide
> coalition of Internet organizations invited by the OECD to provide input on
> Internet-related issues--today endorsed the communiqué issued by the OECD.
> The ITAC expressed broad satisfaction with the OECD's approach to ensuring
> the Internet continues to serve as a platform for innovation, economic
> development and social progress throughout the world, including OECD
> countries.
>
> ITAC supported the recognition in the communiqué of fundamental principles,
> such as the promotion and protection of the global free flow of information;
> promotion of the open, distributed and interconnected nature of the
> Internet; and encouragement of multistakeholder co-operation in policy
> development processes.
>
> ITAC was pleased to be part of the expanded engagement within the OECD,
> along with the Business and Industry Advisory Committee (BIAC), Civil
> Society Information Society Advisory Council (CSISAC), and the Trade Union
> Advisory Committee (TUAC), during the process of drafting the communiqué.
> ITAC noted that the communiqué was developed through a truly
> multistakeholder negotiating process, and that all stakeholders could
> participate on an equal footing.
>
> Vint Cerf, Number Resource Organization representative to the ITAC, said,
> "The Internet has become a key international infrastructure and the subject
> of considerable policy discussion. The introduction of IPv6 is crucial to
> continued expansion of this resource as are international attention to
> security and multilateral agreements on best Internet practices."
>
> Leslie Daigle, Chief Internet Technology Officer of the Internet Society,
> said, "The OECD has taken an extremely positive and collaborative approach
> by inviting the technical community, the private sector and civil society to
> participate in the OECD High Level Meeting. Involving all stakeholders in
> discussions of the Internet's future development is vital to ensuring it
> remains an open platform for innovation and economic development around the
> world."
>
> John Sabo of CA Technologies, chair of the OASIS IDtrust Steering
> Committee, said, "The trusted use of personal information is integral to the
> growing value of the open Internet for business and technical innovation,
> citizen services and consumer applications. Ensuring that privacy management
> technologies and risk management practices are also available at Internet
> scale will require unprecedented collaboration between policy and technology
> communities, using the structures and expertise of internationally-accepted
> standards development organizations."
>
> "The tremendous growth and innovation which we have seen to date follows
> from the openness, lack of central control of the Internet and WWW
> technologies," said Sir Tim Berners-Lee, Director of the World Wide Web
> Consortium. "And as it continues we must ensure we preserve the human values
> and technical principles on which it was built."
>
> With 25 member organizations from around the world, the OECD ITAC provides
> valuable expertise, input, and experience to OECD consideration of Internet
> issues, with the aim of promoting the positive role of the Internet for
> economic growth and social development. ITAC was created after the OECD
> Ministerial on The Future of the Internet Economy held in Seoul, Korea in
> June 2008, in recognition of the valuable and mutually beneficial
> cooperation with the Internet community.
>
> The ITAC reinforced the critical importance of IPv6 deployment on the
> future of the Internet, and urges all OECD members to priortise efforts to
> encourage the adoption of IPv6 at all levels of the Internet to ensure
> continued growth and innovation.
>
> Regarding privacy-related issues, the communiqué provides a reasonable
> starting point by considering privacy protection based on current
> approaches. While it doesn't directly explore the growing social and
> economic value of appropriate use of personal data, ITAC recognizes that the
> OECD is engaging on work in this area and look forward to participating on
> how to incorporate the findings in future communiqués and related
> statements.
>
> Hand-in-hand with promoting an open, distributed and interconnected nature
> of the Internet is the need to give real and tangible effect to fundamental
> human rights online. While the OECD focuses primarily on policies, laws, and
> regulations, ITAC stated it will work with the members to understand the
> very real, positive roles of the international, open, technical standards
> bodies, and more direct recognition of their participation in the process in
> future documents.
>
> A multistakeholder approach has helped to encourage the global Internet's
> tremendous growth and is key to its continued development as a platform for
> innovation and economic progress in the developed and developing world. The
> full involvement of the organizations charged with the development,
> management and operation of the Internet helps ensure its future stability,
> growth and development. The same approach has proven to be the most
> effective when it comes to Internet policy development.
>
> The 'Internet Ecosystem' of organizations and communities that guide the
> operation and development of the technologies and infrastructure that
> comprise the global Internet are currently leading the way on the deployment
> of technologies that will ensure the Internet continues to be a platform for
> innovation, economic development and social progress. These technologies
> include DNSSEC, which adds robust validation to ensure that Internet domain
> names always correspond to their expected destinations, IPv6, the next
> generation of Internet protocol that provides enough new Internet addresses
> to ensure the 4 billion people yet to come online are able to fully
> participate in the global Internet, and HTML5, which defines the fifth major
> revision of the core language of the World Wide Web.

> About ITAC
