Re: [nexa] Fwd: [governance] It's Time to Stop ICANN's Top-Level Domain (TLD) Lunacy!

by Andrea Glorioso

Sull'argomento c'e` una discussione interessante in corso sulla mailing list dell'Internet Governance Caucus (governance(a)lists.cpsr.org, non so quale sia il sito degli archivi, ma immagino che un motore di ricerca qualsiasi possa aiutare). L'annuncio di Lauren Weinstein mi sembra estremamente vago. Il fatto che Ian Peter lo colleghi al sistema sviluppato negli ultimi hanni da Robert Kahn (Handle, http://www.handle.net/) non e` molto incoraggianti, dato che Handle ha esattamente gli stessi problemi di governance centralizzata del DNS. Tempo fa avevo cominciato a cercare di capire perche` le ricerche e i risultati nel campo dei filesystem e database massicciamente distribuiti (ovvero senza "master", ma in grado di risolvere eventuali conflitti tra repliche) non fossero stati adottati anche per il DNS, in questo modo risolvendo almeno uno dei problemi di governance (l'esistenza di una singola zona "root") ma non ho mai veramente capito il motivo.

partecipazione e sviluppo passano dall'Open Data

by Flavia Marzano

La disponibilità di dati aperti è una delle basi strutturali sulle quali sviluppare la partecipazione attiva dei cittadini e la crescita dell’economia nell'era di internet. La Pubblica Amministrazione gestisce una enorme quantità di informazioni la cui fruibilità, sia in forma grezza che in forma strutturata, è condizione per un più rapido sviluppo economico dei territori e del Paese nel suo complesso. L'apertura dei dati è premessa fondamentale per una loro lettura trasparente (oggi è resa difficile dalla gestione chiusa e proprietaria praticata da tutti i soggetti che mettono i dati in rete) ed è anche precondizione per qualunque analisi che, utilizzando le metodologie più sofisticate fornite oggi dalla teoria dei sistemi complessi, permetta una lettura realmente approfondita dei fenomeni economici e sociali in corso e una miglior comprensione delle loro linee evolutive. In questo contesto è immaginabile la nascita di nuove sinergie tra il mondo dell'amministrazione pubblica e quello della ricerca e di conseguenza anche ricadute economiche derivanti ad esempio dalla nascita di spin-off e attività imprenditoriali innovative. In una fase economica difficile come quella attuale, le Pubbliche Amministrazioni dovranno agire velocemente nella direzione dell'apertura dei dati per avviare al più presto il processo virtuoso sopra delineato. Il Manifesto per l'Open Government è ora on line ed emendabile fino al 15 Novembre: l'Associazione italiana per l'Open Government recepirà i suggerimenti e presenterà la versione finale del Manifesto il 30 Novembre. Quanti vorranno partecipare potranno farlo in uno dei seguenti modi: · collegandosi al sito del progetto e proponendo integrazioni, commenti e critiche sulle pagine dedicate ai singoli punti · utilizzando questo modulo per contattare l’Associazione · lasciando un messaggio sulla pagina Facebook del Manifesto · scrivendo su Twitter utilizzando l’hashtag #opengovitalia · La consultazione sarà aperta fino al 15 novembre 2010 e, contando sulla partecipazione di tutti, il testo definitivo del Manifesto sarà pubblicato il 30 novembre 2010. Adesso tocca a voi! Fonte: http://daily.wired.it/blog/codice_aperto/partecipazione-e-sviluppo- passano-dall-open-data-1.html

fyi PRIVACY: UE RAFFORZA NORME SU PROTEZIONE DATI, PREVISTO 'DIRITTO ALL'OBLIÒ (2)

by Oreste Pollicino

Ciao a tutti, o. PRIVACY: UE RAFFORZA NORME SU PROTEZIONE DATI, PREVISTO 'DIRITTO ALL'OBLIÒ = Bruxelles, 4 nov. - (Adnkronos) - In tempi di Facebook e social network, la Commissione europea rafforza le norme per proteggere i dati personali dei cittadini dell'Unione Europea: controllare le informazioni che li riguardano, avere accesso ai dati, essere capaci di modificarli o di cancellarli, attraverso il cosiddetto «diritto all'oblio», sono tutti diritti essenziali che devono essere garantiti nell'attuale era digitale. A questo scopo, la Commissione ha presentato oggi una strategia per proteggere i dati personali in tutti i settori, anche nelle attivitá di contrasto, riducendo nel contempo la burocrazia per le imprese e assicurando la libera circolazione dei dati in tutta l'Ue. Sulla base di questa revisione e dei risultati di una consultazione pubblica, la Commissione modificherá la direttiva sulla protezione dei dati del 1995 e presenterá una proposta legislativa nel 2011. «La protezione dei dati personali è un diritto fondamentale - ha affermato la vice presidente della Commissione europea Viviane Reding, responsabile per la Giustizia, i diritti fondamentali e la cittadinanza - Per garantirlo abbiamo bisogno di norme chiare e coerenti sulla protezione dei dati. Dobbiamo inoltre aggiornare la nostra legislazione perchè faccia fronte alle sfide poste dalle nuove tecnologie e dalla globalizzazione. L'anno prossimo la Commissione presenterá una proposta legislativa per rafforzare i diritti delle persone, eliminando allo stesso tempo la burocrazia allo scopo di assicurare la libera circolazione dei dati nel mercato unico». La strategia presentata a Bruxelles avanza proposte per modernizzare il quadro giuridico dell'Ue relativo alla protezione dei dati tramite una serie di obiettivi chiave: rafforzare i diritti delle persone di modo che la raccolta e l'utilizzo dei dati personali siano limitati allo stretto necessario. Gli interessati devono dunque essere informati in modo chiaro e trasparante su come, perchè e da chi i loro dati sono raccolti e utilizzati e dovrebbero essere in grado di esprimere un consenso informato al trattamento, ad esempio quando surfano in internet, e avere il «diritto all'oblio» quando i propri dati non sono più necessari o se vogliono farli cancellare. (segue) PRIVACY: UE RAFFORZA NORME SU PROTEZIONE DATI, PREVISTO 'DIRITTO ALL'OBLIÒ (2) = (Adnkronos) - In secondo luogo, la Commissione vuole rafforzare la dimensione «mercato interno» attraverso la riduzione degli oneri amministrativi per le societá e assicurando condizioni di paritá effettive: le differenze esistenti nell'attuazione delle norme di protezione dei dati dell'Ue e la scarsa chiarezza in merito alla normativa nazionale applicabile ostacolano la libera circolazione dei dati personali in tutta l'Ue e fanno aumentare i costi. Infine, l'esecutivo di Bruxelles vuole rivedere le norme di protezione dei dati nell'ambito della cooperazione di polizia e giudiziaria in materia penale in modo da assicurare anche in questi settori la protezione dei dati a carattere personale e garantire un alto livello di protezione per i dati trasferiti al di fuori dell'Ue grazie a procedure migliori e semplificate per i trasferimenti internazionali di dati. Il diritto alla protezione dei dati personali è esplicitamente riconosciuto dall'articolo 8 della Carta dei diritti fondamentali dell'Ue e dal trattato di Lisbona. Nel 2009, la Commissione ha avviato la revisione dell'attuale quadro giuridico sulla protezione dei dati, che ha avuto inizio nel maggio dello scorso anno con una conferenza di alto livello cui hanno fatto seguito una consultazione pubblica e consultazioni mirate delle parti interessate. In un discorso nel gennaio scorso, la Reding, allora commissaria per la Societá dell'informazione, aveva annunciato l'intenzione della Commissione di modernizzare le norme europee di protezione dei dati, cui lavora in accordo con Neelie Kroes, commissaria responsabile per l'Agenda digitale.

European Commission sets out strategy to strengthen EU data protection rules

by Andrea Glorioso

http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=IP/10/1462&format=H… European Commission sets out strategy to strengthen EU data protection rules What happens to your personal data when you board a plane, open a bank account, or share photos online? How is this data used and by whom? How do you permanently delete profile information on social networking websites? Can you transfer your contacts and photos to another service? Controlling your information, having access to your data, being able to modify or delete it – these are essential rights that have to be guaranteed in today's digital world. To address these issues, the European Commission today set out a strategy on how to protect individuals' data in all policy areas, including law enforcement, while reducing red tape for business and guaranteeing the free circulation of data within the EU. This policy review will be used by the Commission with the results of a public consultation to revise the EU’s 1995 Data Protection Directive. The Commission will then propose legislation in 2011. "The protection of personal data is a fundamental right," said Vice-President Viviane Reding, EU Commissioner for Justice, Fundamental Rights and Citizenship. "To guarantee this right, we need clear and consistent data protection rules. We also need to bring our laws up to date with the challenges raised by new technologies and globalisation. The Commission will put forward legislation next year to strengthen individuals' rights while also removing red tape to ensure the free flow of data within the EU’s Single Market." Today's strategy sets out proposals on how to modernise the EU framework for data protection rules through a series of key goals: * Strengthening individuals' rights so that the collection and use of personal data is limited to the minimum necessary. Individuals should also be clearly informed in a transparent way on how, why, by whom, and for how long their data is collected and used. People should be able to give their informed consent to the processing of their personal data, for example when surfing online, and should have the "right to be forgotten" when their data is no longer needed or they want their data to be deleted. * Enhancing the Single Market dimension by reducing the administrative burden on companies and ensuring a true level-playing field. Current differences in implementing EU data protection rules and a lack of clarity about which country's rules apply harm the free flow of personal data within the EU and raise costs. * Revising data protection rules in the area of police and criminal justice so that individuals' personal data is also protected in these areas. Under the Lisbon Treaty, the EU now has the possibility to lay down comprehensive and coherent rules on data protection for all sectors, including police and criminal justice. Naturally, the specificities and needs of these sectors will be taken into account. Under the review, data retained for law enforcement purposes should also be covered by the new legislative framework. The Commission is also reviewing the 2006 Data Retention Directive, under which companies are required to store communication traffic data for a period of between six months and two years. * Ensuring high levels of protection for data transferred outside the EU by improving and streamlining procedures for international data transfers. The EU should strive for the same levels of protection in cooperation with third countries and promote high standards for data protection at a global level. * More effective enforcement of the rules, by strengthening and further harmonising the role and powers of Data Protection Authorities. Improved cooperation and coordination is also strongly needed to ensure a more consistent application of data protection rules across the Single Market. The way forward The Commission's policy review will serve as a basis for further discussion and assessment. The Commission is calling on all stakeholders and the public to comment on the review's proposals until 15 January 2011. Submissions can be made on the Commission’s public consultation web site: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/news/consulting_public/news_consulting_0006_en.… Building on this, the Commission will present proposals for a new general data protection legal framework in 2011, which will then need to be negotiated and adopted by the European Parliament and the Council. In addition, the Commission will examine other measures, such as encouraging awareness-raising campaigns on data protection rights and possible self-regulation initiatives by industry. Background EU data protection rules (the 1995 Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC) aim to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of natural persons, and in particular the right to data protection, as well as the free flow of data. This general Data Protection Directive has been complemented by other legal instruments, such as the e-Privacy Directive for the communications sector. There are also specific rules for the protection of personal data in police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters (Framework Decision 2008/977/JHA). The right to the protection of personal data is explicitly recognised in Article 8 of the EU's Charter of Fundamental Rights and in the Lisbon Treaty. The Treaty provides the legal basis for rules on data protection for all activities within the scope of EU law under Article 16. In 2009, the Commission launched a review of the current legal framework on data protection, starting with a high-level conference in May 2009, followed by a public consultation running until the end of 2009. Targeted stakeholders consultations were organised throughout 2010. In January 2010, Vice-President Viviane Reding announced the Commission's intention to modernise EU data privacy rules in a speech on Data Protection Day (see IP/10/63 and SPEECH/10/441) in her previous role as Information Society Commissioner. Today’s Communication was produced in agreement with Neelie Kroes, EU Commissioner in charge of the Digital Agenda.

From the ATRT's announcement:  =====  The Accountability and Transparency Review Team issues this request for Public Comment on a set of draft proposed Recommendations that it has developed as part of its review of ICANN’s execution of its commitments to accountability and transparency under the Affirmation of Commitments (AoC). The ATRT is required to provide final Recommendations to the ICANN Board no later than December 31, 2010. The draft proposed recommendations are based on the public comments and inputs received to date, interactions with the ICANN Community at the 37th ICANN meeting in Brussels, interviews, fact-finding and analysis by the ATRT. They are also based on input from the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University. The Berkman Center was selected to act as an Independent Expert, as provided by the AoC, and was asked by the ATRT to provide its own analysis focusing on the provisions of paragraph 9.1 of the AoC. The Berkman Center conducted primary and secondary research including a set of case studies and a series of interviews to produce a Final Report which is attached as Appendix A. The ATRT considered the recommendations in the Berkman Center’s Final Report as it developed the draft proposed Recommendations that are being published for Public Comment. Translations of the Berkman Center Final Report are being prepared and will be promptly issued. ===== For the full announcement, with links to the ATRT’s draft proposed recommendations, translations, instructions for commenting, and the Berkman Center’s Final Report, visit http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-03nov10-en.htm  .
