> Dear ICOMM17 Guests,
>
>
>
> I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your attendance of
> the Intercommunity 2017 event in CERN <https://home.cern/>’s Globe of
> Science & Innovation on the 19th September.
>
>
>
> Your attendance is very important to us and we hope that you found value
> in our panel sessions as well as made some new contacts during the meeting,
> not to mention learning about Dark matter from our fabulous host’s at CERN.
>
>
>
> Below is a short summary of the main points and takeaways from the session:
>
>
>
> *General take-aways:*
>
>
>
> -          The focus of the discussions were centered around privacy, more
> than security
>
> -          The problems around privacy that we see will scale, and so must
> the solutions to keep up
>
> -          There needs to be more questioning in the use of IoT – Why am I
> sharing this data that you are collecting? Consumers needs to ask why – and
> realize that they are the product.
>
> -          Market forces themselves are unlikely to solve the IoT security
> and privacy challenges.
>
>
>
> *Key take-aways*
>
>
>
> -          Your personal data is precisely that, YOUR data. You need to be
> at “the centre of the Universe” – we need a “cyber bill of rights”
>
> -          There needs to be a focus on education, and on informing users.
> Both about the technology, but also about the responsibilities. These are
> problems we have today – so in essence nothing new – but the problem will
> increase and scale.
>
> -          Educated users can make more informed decisions. Does this
> device need to be directly connected to the global network? What is the
> trade-off in sharing this data?
>
> -          We need ethics to be part of the discussion. How IoT services
> operate, and how they are deployed.
>
> -          Multistakeholder solutions are needed, but there is a challenge
> in channeling the collective intelligence to solve the issue.
>
> -          There is a question about governance that needs to be solved.
> Is the current mechanisms for IG enough, or do we need to think about new
> governance frameworks to efficiently address the challenges of IoT? We
> should tackle this challenge, but also see it as an opportunity to get it
> right.
>
>
>
> As you also heard, we recently launched the Internet Futures Report which
> we encourage you to read as well as share with parties who may be
> interested in the work of the Internet Society.

> Once again thank you for your time and joining us for the Intercommunity
