INTERNET GOVERNANCE - THE YEAR OF INSTITUTIONAL EVOLUTION:
from ‘NetMundial’ to the US Government IANA oversight transition

Wednesday 22 October 2014, 1700 start

Hosted at London School of Economics and Political Science
Houghton Street, London

Dear Olivier,

The past year has been rich in developments around the governance of the
Internet. But 2015 looks set to be the year when the way the Internet is
governed changes radically, forever.

Over the past couple of years, as the Internet has grown to reach a
diverse user population of 3 billion people across the globe, and in the
wake of the WikiLeaks and NSA revelations, there has been a heightened
realization by the general public and the powers that be of the
political importance of the Internet, and how it affects every single
one of us, our economies and our societies.

One of the fruits of this deepening debate has been a positive effort:
the ‘Net Mundial’ conference led by Brazilian President Roussef, which
gathered thousands of representatives of governments, civil society,
businesses and the technical community in April this year. The
conference agreed, through ‘rough consensus’, a “declaration of Internet
principles” and a “roadmap for the evolution of Internet Governance”.
This evolution straddles areas from cybersecurity to the future of the
Internet Governance Forum, to privacy and access to knowledge.

Among the main topics of discussion at NetMundial, there was much talk
about the so-called ‘IANA stewardship transition’. Marking a historical
development for a technology that was born in the United States as part
of an academic effort funded by the government, the US administration
took the initiative in March this year by announcing its readiness to
transition its oversight of the core domain name system functions
performed by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), to the
‘global stakeholder community’. After further discussions during the
ICANN Meeting in London late June, a coordination group is now in place
to take forward this transition and shape how the oversight of the
Internet (the domain name system, IETF and RIRs) might look like without
direct US Government ‘backstop’.

Together with the upcoming ITU Plenipotentiary Conference, and the 2015
year review of the UN World Summit on the Information Society, this
makes for an interesting year ahead. What will the map of Internet
Governance look like in a couple of years’ time? Where and how will
global issues of Internet policy be discussed, from new domain names to
net neutrality and other online freedoms? What is ‘the global
multi-stakeholder community’ and how should it oversee the basic
governance structures for the Internet? What is the UK’s role and place
in this evolution? We will aim to answer some of these questions with a
prominent panel of experts, moderated by Professor Robin Mansell of the LSE.

Key participants include:
• Sarah Taylor, Deputy Director, Creative Economy, Internet,
International, DCMS
• Martin Boyle, Nominet and Member of the International Coordination
Group for the transition of the IANA oversight
• Andrew Puddephat, Global Partners Digital and European Council of
Foreign Relations
• Malcolm Hutty, Head of Public Affairs, London Internet Exchange (LINX).
