Multistakeholder as Governance Groups: New Study by Global Network of Internet and Society Centers
by Giuseppe Futia Jan. 15, 2015

Jan. 15, 2015

Gentilissimi, La Rete globale di centri di ricerca Internet & società (NoC) <http://networkofcenters.net/> e il Berkman Center for <http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/> Internet & Society <http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/> (Harvard University) hanno pubblicato un rapporto dal titolo: “Multistakeholder as Governance Groups: Observations from Case Studies <http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2549270>”. Il rapporto, basato su casi di studio, è un contributo al dibattito in corso su differenti meccanismi e modelli di *Internet Governance*. Il Centro Nexa su Internet & Società del Politecnico di Torino (DAUIN) ha contribuito al rapporto con un studio <https://publixphere.net/i/noc/page/IG_Case_Study_Creative_Commons> condotto da *Federico Morando* (lead di Creative Common Italia) sul modello organizzativo transnazionale di Creative Commons. Segnaliamo inoltre che il Centro Nexa è il coordinatore della Rete di Centri su Internet & Società per il biennio 2014-2016. Maggiori dettagli sono disponibili in calce. Cordiali saluti, ----- Multistakeholder as Governance Groups: New Study by Global Network of Internet and Society Centers January 2015 The Global Network of Internet and Society Research Centers (NoC) <http://networkofcenters.net/> and the Berkman Center for Internet & Society <http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/> at Harvard University are pleased to announce the release of a new report <http://ssrn.com/abstract=2549270> on Multistakeholder Governance Groups, which informs the debate about Internet governance models and mechanisms. The report is the result of a *globally-coordinated academic research effort* among NoC participants and consists of twelve geographically and topically diverse case studies <https://publixphere.net/i/noc/page/Internet_Governance_Research_Project_Cas…> of governance structures, and a synthesis paper <https://publixphere.net/i/noc/page/Internet_Governance_Research_Project_Syn…> that summarizes key findings across these cases. The research examines multistakeholder governance groups with the goal of informing the future evolution of the Internet governance ecosystem. Building upon the NETmundial Principles and Roadmap <http://netmundial.br/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/NETmundial-Multistakeholder…>, it contributes to current policy debates at the international level, including the Internet Governance Forum, the NETmundial Initiative, and the World Economic Forum. "We are at crossroads when it comes to the global governance of the Internet, where we must not only respond to complex technical challenges, but also deal with a broad range of policy issues ranging from cybersecurity to net neutrality and human rights," said Berkman Center Executive Director and Harvard Law School Professor of Practice Urs Gasser, who led the international effort. "This collaborative research wants to strengthen the evidence-base as we search for future governance models that preserve the generativity and openness of the Internet, while also addressing pressing challenges and problems." At a point where the future of Internet governance is being re-envisioned, the report deepens our understanding of the *formation, operation, and critical success factors of governance groups*. The study concludes that: “*there is no single best-fit model for multistakeholder governance groups that can be applied in all instances. Rather, it reveals a range of approaches, mechanisms, and tools available for both the formation and operation of such groups. The analysis demonstrates that the success of governance groups depends to a large degree on the careful selection, deployment, and management of suitable instruments from this ‘toolbox’. As governance groups pass through different phases of operation, conveners and facilitators must remain alert to changes in circumstances that necessitate adjustments to the approaches, mechanisms, and tools that they deploy in order to address evolving challenges from inside and from outside. The case study series provides insights into how those instruments can be deployed and adjusted over time within such groups, and highlights how their interactions with important contextual factors may be successfully managed within given resource restraints.*” Other *key observations* from the study, as further described in the synthesis paper, include: - Inclusiveness (including mechanisms for participation) and transparency are critical factors to be managed and adjusted throughout the lifecycle of governance groups. - How governance groups define accountability and legitimacy is highly reflective of and dependent on contextual factors. - Different governance groups have different measures of success and effectiveness that are tied to their unique contexts and to factors that change over time. The report is the *first study by the recently launched Global Network of Internet and Society Centers*, which brings together over 30 academic institutions from around the globe. As a milestone, it demonstrates that a global network of academic research centers can create a shared repository of timely and relevant research, which includes peer-reviewed methodologies and adherence to academic standards, open data, and expertise on diverse issues related to global policy debates. More broadly, the Network of Centers seeks to contribute to a more generalized vision and longer-term strategy for academia regarding its roles in research, facilitation and convening, and education in and communication about the Internet age. The full text of these contributions, the other case studies <https://publixphere.net/i/noc/page/Internet_Governance_Research_Project_Cas…> by our international partners, and the synthesis paper <https://publixphere.net/i/noc/page/Internet_Governance_Research_Project_Syn…> are available on the Publixphere website, where the authors welcome comments and feedback. The series and individual papers are also available for download from SSRN <http://ssrn.com/abstract=2549270>. -- About the Network of Internet and Society Research Centers The Global Network of Internet and Society Research Centers (NoC) was launched by a group of academic centers in 2012 in recognition of the lack of internationally coordinated research and engagement activities in issues concerning the Internet and related technologies. The NoC is a collaborative initiative among academic institutions with a focus on interdisciplinary research on the development, social impact, policy implications, and legal issues concerning the Internet. This collective aims to increase interoperability between participating centers in order to stimulate the creation of new cross-national, cross-disciplinary conversation, debate, teaching, learning, and engagement regarding the most pressing questions around new technologies, social change, and related policy and regulatory developments.

New Clues: "Hear, O Internet." (ovvero, le 121 tesi di David Weinberger e Doc Searls)
by J.C. DE MARTIN Jan. 15, 2015

Jan. 15, 2015

*Hear, O Internet. * It has been sixteen years since our previous communication <http://www.cluetrain.com>. In that time the People of the Internet — you and me and all our friends of friends of friends, unto the last Kevin Bacon — have made the Internet an awesome place, filled with wonders and portents. From the serious <http://en.wikipedia.org/> to the lolworthy <http://lolcatbible.com> to the wtf <http://www.truthforhumanity.com/>, we have up-ended titans, created heroes, and changed the most basic assumptions about How Things Work and Who We Are. But now all the good work we've done together faces mortal dangers. When we first came before you, it was to warn of the threat posed by those who did not understand that they did not understand the Internet. These are The Fools, the businesses that have merely adopted the trappings of the Internet. Now two more hordes threaten all that we have built for one another. The Marauders understand the Internet all too well. They view it as theirs to plunder, extracting our data and money from it, thinking that we are the fools. But most dangerous of all is the third horde: Us. A horde is an undifferentiated mass of people. But the glory of the Internet is that it lets us connect as diverse and distinct individuals. We all like mass entertainment. Heck, TV's gotten pretty great these days, and the Net lets us watch it when we want. Terrific. But we need to remember that delivering mass media is the least of the Net's powers. The Net's super-power is connection without permission. Its almighty power is that we can make of it whatever we want. It is therefore not time to lean back and consume the oh-so-tasty junk food created by Fools and Marauders as if our work were done. It is time to breathe in the fire of the Net and transform every institution that would play us for a patsy. An organ-by-organ body snatch <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_of_the_Body_Snatchers> of the Internet is already well underway. Make no mistake: with a stroke of a pen, a covert handshake, or by allowing memes to drown out the cries of the afflicted we can lose the Internet we love. We come to you from the years of the Web's beginning. We have grown old together on the Internet. Time is short. We, the People of the Internet, need to remember the glory of its revelation so that we reclaim it now in the name of what it truly is.

dati degli studenti e registro elettronico.

Caro Juan Carlos, allora vale la pena ricordare che questo aprile avremo il parere dell'antitrust sui software di registro elettronico in dotazione alle scuole. Una questione che a me sta a cuore è quella di capire che fine fanno i dati degli studenti che gli insegnanti ora inseriscono nei sfw della Axios ( https://www.sissiweb.it/Secret/REStart.aspx?Customer_ID=80025650658) Qualcuno si è occupato di questo aspetto del problema?

Droni nei cieli italiani per sorveglianza (Roma, Milano e Torino)

Jan. 13, 2015

condivido in lista, nel caso qualcuno ne sapesse di più... Italian Reaper Drones To Be Used for Crowd Monitoring By TOM KINGTON 3:25 p.m. EST December 17, 2014 ROME – As their deployment to Afghanistan comes to an end, unarmed Italian Reaper UAVs are to be used to monitor soccer games and demonstrations in Italy’s cities, following a deal struck between the Italian Air Force and the country’s police forces. The agreement, which could see the General Atomics UAVs flying over the streets of Rome, Milan and Turin, is the first of its kind in Europe and is the fruit of drone-friendly laws passed in Italy. “We are the only European nation flying UAVs at home,” said Maj. Paolo Castelli, the deputy commander of the Italian Air Force’s 28th Squadron, which operates UAVs from Amendola air base in southern Italy. continua qui: http://www.defensenews.com/story/defense/international/europe/2014/12/17/it… -- Alessandro Mantelero Aggregate Professor, Politecnico di Torino Director of Privacy and Faculty Fellow, Nexa Center for Internet and Society http://staff.polito.it/alessandro.mantelero Politecnico di Torino Corso Duca degli Abruzzi, 24 10129 Torino - Italy

Slate: "Obama Proposes New Protections for Student Data"
by J.C. DE MARTIN Jan. 13, 2015

Jan. 13, 2015

Un argomento che mi sta molto a cuore. juan carlos *Obama Proposes New Protections for Student Data** * By Ariel Bogle Some of the hardest-fought battles over education in recent times have involved the use of digital technology in the classroom, whether to personalize student learning or to track grades in real time. Silicon Valley’s interest is piqued and ed-tech investment is booming—almost $1.87 billion was poured into the sector by venture and equity financing in 2014. But the field took a significant hit last year when inBloom, a large student-data nonprofit, collapsed after facing a parent-led backlash. Private companies in the U.S. ed-tech space allow schools to collect data points about everything from lunch orders to disability status, making parents fearful that such information could be accidentally disclosed, or even follow their child into adulthood. Meanwhile, student privacy regulation is scattershot, often outdated, and varies considerably by state. […] Continua qui: http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2015/01/12/obama_announces_student_…
