At the APRICOT/APNIC59 meeting held in Petaling Jaya in Malaysia last month, The internet society held it's first PIMF meeting. PIMF, or the Pulse Internet Measurement Forum is a gathering of people interested in Internet measurement in the widest possible sense, from technical information all the way to policy, governance and social questions. ISOC is interested in creating a space for the discussion to take place amongst the community, and bring both technologists and policy specialists into the same room. This time on PING, instead of the usual one-on-one format of podcast we've got 5 interviews from this meeting, and after the next episode from Geoff Huston at APNIC Labs we'll play a second part, with 3 more of the presenters from this session. First up we have Amreesh Phokeer from the Internet Society who manages the PULSE activity in ISOC, and along with Robbie Mitchell set up the meeting. Then we hear from Christoph Visser from IIJ Labs in Tokyo, who presented on his measurements of the "Steam" Game distribution platform used by Valve Software to share games. It's a complex system of application-specific source selection, using multiple Content Distribution Networks (CDN) to scale across the world, and allows Christoph to see into the link quality from a public API. No extra measurements required, for an insight into the gamer community and their experience of the Internet. The third interview is with Anand Raje, from AIORI-IMN, India's Indigenous Internet Measurement System. Anand leads a team which has built out a national measurement system using IoT "orchestration" methods to manage probes and anchors, in a virtual-environment which permits them to run multiple independent measurement systems hosted inside their platform. After this there's an interview with Andre Robachevsky from Global Cyber Alliance (GCA). Andre established the MANRS system, it's platform and nurtured the organisation into being inside ISOC. MANRS has now moved into the care of GCA and Andre moved with it, and discusses how this complements the existing GCA activities. FInally we have a conversation with Champika Wijayatunga from ICANN on the KINDNS project. This is a programme designed to bring MANRS-like industry best practice to the DNS community at large, including authoritative DNS delegates and the intermediate resolver and client supporting stub resolver operators. Champika is interested in reaching into the community to get KINDNS more widely understood and encourage its adoption with over 2,000 entities having completed the assessment process already. Next time we'll here from three more participants in the PIMF session: Doug Madory from Kentik, Beau Gieskins from APNIC Information Products, and Lia Hestina, from the RIPE NCC.

Recommendations for law enforcement and legislators Three Questions! In the discussion Sharon, Hanna and Andy discuss:“There is no way to implement such proposals in the context of end-to-end encrypted communications without fundamentally undermining encryption and creating a dangerous vulnerability in core infrastructure that would have global implications well beyond Europe” – ⁠⁠Meredith Whittaker⁠⁠, President, Signal, in a ⁠⁠public blog post⁠⁠, 17 Jun 2024, in response to controversial European Union legislative proposal to scan the private messages of citizens in a bid to detect child sexual abuse material (CSAM). “Politicians must understand that the magic key for law enforcement to unlock encrypted data will never exist. There are too many examples in history that show how vulnerabilities that should have been only known to law enforcement got exploited by Chinese hackers, by Russian state hackers. So yes, criminals use encryption to hide their criminal activities but this does not justify outlawing encryption for everyone. If we do this the Internet as a whole will become so insecure… if you want to live in free and open democracies - not in a Stasi like country where everything is monitored - we must accept there is no easy solution. Our freedom requires privacy and thus encryption. So one thing is for sure - encryption must remain secure, otherwise the bad actors will have already won.” – Hanna Bozakov, Tuta Mail, in our interview, 18 Jun 2024 Selected links: Global Encryption Coalition.

Vaak zitten er in wetten verborgen maatregelen die op het eerste gezicht logisch lijken, maar die we misschien beter kunnen vermijden. Vooral wij nerds zien de nuances.Deze week hebben we Hendrik Rood te gast om te praten over de 'Wet bestuursrechtelijke aanpak online kinderpornografisch materiaal'. Woensdag 15 mei behandelt de Tweede Kamer dit voorstel, dat sinds juni 2023 alleen schriftelijk is besproken, zonder hoorzittingen of openbare vergaderingen. Het kan dus snel gaan.Deze wet geeft de nieuw op te richten Autoriteit Terroristisch en Kinderpornografisch Materiaal (ATKM) autoriteit om internetblokkades op te leggen bij alle hosting- en communicatiediensten in Nederland, en dat automatisch binnen een uur na melding. Vraag is: zijn zulke blokkades effectief? Opvallend: alleen Nederlandse ISPs worden getarget, publieke DNS diensten zoals Google, Cloudflare, of Apple's Private Relay gaan vrijuit.Hendrik Rood is secretaris van Internet Society's Werkgroep Internet Transparency en senior adviseur bij Stratix en vertelde eerder in onze podcast over waarom grote providers het tempo van innovatie willen bepalen.Tijdschema00:00:00 Reclame: ICT Group00:00:43 Intro00:01:15 Voorstellen: Hendrik Rood00:02:12 Wet bestuursrechtelijke aansprakelijkheid online kinderpornografisch materiaal00:08:55 De gevolgen van blokkades bij internetproviders00:13:13 Toenemend gebruik Secure DNS00:22:53 Monopolies op het internet00:30:11 Hoe bestaande blokkades werken00:34:25 Reclame: PublicSpaces / Waag FutureLabs00:35:32 Hoe nu verder?00:41:56 Waarom deep-fake-porno de wet versnelt00:46:32 Het gevaar van feature creep00:53:39 Automatiseren van blokkades01:03:08 Kan de wet nog worden verbeterd?Zie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

While the internet has improved monumentally since its early days of bandwidth restrictions and dial-up, customers are more demanding of the network and have little patience for latency on any of their devices. What causes these interruptions to our usually consistent high-speed streams? Latency, or lag.On today's episode of Explain to Shane, Comcast's Vice President for Technology Policy, Products, and Standards, Jason Livingood, dives into what is being done to solve this challenge. Jason has spent his career addressing the internet's emerging challenges: he's been a pivotal figure in promoting ultra-low latency networking and directing R&D through the Comcast Innovation Fund. He's also served twice on the FCC's Technical Advisory Committee and has spent 16 years on the Member Advisory Board of the Internet Society.Jason will shed light on why latency has become a critical factor for internet users and discuss the steps being taken by Comcast ahead of high-demand streaming events like this summer's Paris Olympics.

In this episode of PING, Leslie Daigle from the Global Cyber Alliance (GCA) discusses their honeynet project, measuring bad traffic internet-wide. This was originally focussed on IoT devices with the AIDE project but is clearly more generally informative. Leslie also discusses the quad-nine DNS service, GCA's domain trust work and the MANRS project. Launched in 2014 with support from ISOC, MANRS now has a continuing relationship with GCA and may represent a model for the routing community regarding the ‘bad traffic' problem which the AIDE project explores. Leslie has a long history of work in the public interest, as Chief Internet Technology Officer of the Internet Society, and with the IETF. She is currently the chair of the MOPS working group, has co-authored 22 RFCs and was chair of the IAB for five years.

In today's episode of Tech Talks Daily, I, Neil, am thrilled to welcome Andrew Sullivan, President and CEO of the Internet Society, for a thought-provoking conversation on the future of Internet governance, regulation, and the ongoing battle to keep the Internet open and accessible for everyone. The internet, a marvel of the modern world, stands at a crossroads. Originally conceived as a decentralized "network of networks," it's now facing challenges that could reshape its very essence. Andrew Sullivan, with his wealth of experience in the Internet Society, brings a deep understanding of these issues to the table. We delve into how large corporations increasingly try to "enclose" the internet, shifting the paradigm from an open web system to a more controlled application-based environment. This conversation takes us through the nuances of technical proposals like Web Environment Integrity, "NewIP," and Private Access Tokens and what they mean for the future of the internet. Our discussion also turns to the role of governments in this evolving landscape. With initiatives like Canada's Online News Act and the EU's Digital Markets Act, we explore the intention behind these regulations and their potential unintended consequences. Andrew offers a unique perspective on how these well-meaning laws might inadvertently reshape the Internet, often at the expense of smaller entities and the general public. Much of our conversation revolves around the complex issue of misinformation and social problems in the digital age. We explore how these challenges, while amplified by the internet, are not necessarily of its own making. Andrew provides insights into how the internet reflects societal divisions rather than creates them and how regulations aimed at big tech might not address the root causes of these issues. In this episode, we also focus on solutions and the way forward. We discuss the importance of remembering the benefits of connectivity and ensuring that regulations do not stifle these advantages. Andrew highlights initiatives like encryption, Internet Impact Assessments, and the involvement of civil society as crucial steps in protecting the open Internet.

Você sabia que a proposta de compartilhamento de custos, que está em discussão no país, é capaz de impactar diretamente o direito concorrencial e as relações de consumo? Na prática, caso adotada, a medida deixa a oferta e distribuição de conteúdo mais cara, especialmente para pequenos provedores, e favorece big techs e grandes empresas, pois estas têm maior potencial de arcar com o aumento dos custos. O que, consequentemente, deixa a internet mais polarizada e mais cara também para consumidores e usuários. Como parte da campanha “Pedágio na Internet”, liderada pelo ITS e pela ISOC Brasil, o capítulo brasileiro da Internet Society, promovemos o debate online “Política de compartilhamento de custos: perspectivas de consumo e concorrência”. O evento é o segundo de três debates que analisa mais a fundo os potenciais impactos às relações on-line e à ordem econômica. Participaram do evento Bruno Renzetti, professor da graduação e pós-graduação em Direito do Insper e associado a Hapner Kroetz Advogados, Luã Cruz, diretor de Eventos e Comunicação do Capítulo brasileiro da Internet Society (ISOC Brasil) e pesquisador da área de telecomunicações e direitos digitais do IDEC, Floriano de Azevedo Marques Neto, advogado e professor da USP e da FGV Rio de Janeiro, Nathalie Fragoso, sócia em VMCA e pesquisadora doutora em direitos humanos, direitos digitais, sociologia do direito, com a moderação de Rebeca Garcia, advogada e consultora na área de políticas públicas e tecnologia, e Paula Bernardi, assessora sênior de Política e Advocacy da Internet Society.

Você já imaginou ter uma Internet mais cara, mais lenta, menos conectada e com menos conteúdo? O evento “Internet em risco: a política de compartilhamento de custos“ analisa contribuições feitas na Tomada de Subsídios n. 13/2023 da Anatel sobre a proposta de implantação da política de compartilhamento de custos (para alguns, também conhecida como fair share). Organizado em parceria entre a ISOC Capítulo Brasil e o ITS Rio, o evento revisitou a contribuição de organizações da sociedade civil, academia e comunidade técnica que refutam a validade e a legalidade da política de compartilhamento de custos. Participaram do debate: Flávio Rech Wagner, presidente da ISOC Brasil, Demi Getschko, diretor-presidente do NIC.br, Flávia Lefèvre, da Coalizão Direitos na Rede (CDR), Paloma Rocillo, diretora do IRIS, Paula Bernardi, assessora sênior de Política e Advocacy da Internet Society, e Veridiana Alimonti, diretora associada da Latin American Policy da Electronic Frontier Foundation, com a moderação de Fabro Steibel, diretor-executivo do ITS.

In this episode of the "PGP for Crypto Podcast," host Paul Brigner of Electric Coin Co. and guest Ryan Polk from the Internet Society delve into the critical importance of encryption for online security and privacy. The discussion spans from the history of encryption debates, including the 'crypto wars' of the 1990s, to the increasing adoption of end-to-end encryption by major tech companies. However, they also highlight the ongoing threats to encryption, both in the U.S. and globally, due to various legislative efforts aimed at public safety and surveillance. The conversation underscores the tension between individual privacy and governmental oversight, particularly as encryption becomes increasingly vital for secure communication and financial transactions like cryptocurrencies. They discuss the role of advocacy groups like the Global Encryption Coalition in coordinating efforts to counteract these challenges. Ryan Polk outlines specific U.S. bills and international legislation that could undermine encryption, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach that respects both security and individual freedoms. This episode serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding the current landscape of encryption and its implications, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in tech policy, online security, and the future of digital communication.

Our guest today is Michael Kende. He has a Ph.D. in economics from MIT and is a Digital Development consultant at the World Bank Group, a Senior Advisor at Analysys Mason, and the Board Chair of the Datasphere Initiative and until recently Chief Economist of the Internet Society. He has done a significant amount of work on promoting Internet development in emerging regions around the world. He works on the economics of cybersecurity, as a means to reduce data breaches and increase trust in the Internet. The Internet has brought us numerous free services like contacting people, creating online content, video conferencing, sharing videos, communicating, and working online, but it comes at a price, as the data we put online, some of it very personal, raises privacy issues, makes us vulnerable to cyberattacks and results in a concentration of power in large companies and governments. He talks about trust and the privacy paradox and the “flip side” of free services that internet provides. The way to grow trust is through technology and regulation, giving the example of the automobile industry where in the 60ties there were no safety regulations until Ralph Nader's book in 1965 “Unsafe at Any Speed”. He talks about the European GDPR Directive, the Data Sphere Initiative, the privacy paradox, and contact tracing apps like the Ehteraz app Qatar required people to use during the Soccer World Cup. Asked about the Internet of Things (IoT), says Michael that he doesn't think all of the lessons of the Internet of websites and services online have been learned.

Today's Nonprofit Business Model often relies heavily on meetings and events. Whether it is for commitment to cause, content, or community; all we know is that the value proposition for an association often finds an important channel in its events. But what happens when attendance begins to slide? What happens when the value of that value proposition doesn't seem to be what it used to be? Can Event Design Save Your Conference? Ruud Janssen is an events industry powerhouse. You may have already seen his work if you've looked through tools like Miro or Mural and discovered a design tool called the Event Model Canvas.  Ruud is an international speaker, facilitator, and designer of high-stakes conferences & events. He is the Author of the Event Design Handbook (2016) and Design to Change (2021) and he serves as co-founder of Event Design Collective (http://edco.global).  He helps organizations innovate by thinking differently based on functional, social, and technological advancements using business and event model innovation. Can you share the story with us about the Event Model Canvas, which is such a popular and helpful tool for people to know about? Why did you co-create it and how the Event Model Canvas, MURAL, and the Internet Society all collaborate on this effort? Where do you typically see most associations getting their event design wrong? So talk to me about #HorizonsOfChange and how that's built upon the Event Canvas… Has anything changed events or event design forever, in your mind, since COVID came along?  How does the format – in-person/virtual/hybrid - asynchronous or synchronous impact event design? What are your favorite practical ways to change the emotional state of participants? What are some stand out examples of events that have the Ruud Janssen Stamp of Approval for being well-designed? What is the best next step any association executive can take after hearing our discussion today?

Tech companies use data to spot patterns in their users' search histories. They use this information to understand how customers behave. But in the 6 years since the Cambridge Analytica scandal happened, the details of how tech companies use our data are still murky. Ranking Digital Rights' Jessica Dheere joined Joe Miller to discuss where the gaps are and what the public needs to know. Bio Jessica Dheere is the Director of Ranking Digital Rights. She founded and was Executive Director of SMEX, the Middle East's leading digital rights research and advocacy organization.  In 2018, she was a research fellow at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society. and a Technology and Human Rights Fellow at Harvard Carr Center for Human Rights Policy.

Inclusion decisions are made when everyone those decisions impact are included in the process. Today's episode focuses on inclusive decision-making and—perhaps just as importantly—the conversations that enable it.   Episode Guest(s): Mer (pronounced “mair”) Joyce is the Founder and Principal of Do Big Good, a Seattle-based firm that trains and facilitates inclusive decisions. Mer has committed her life to social change innovation. She was New Media Operations Manager on President Obama's 2008 campaign, led the creation of the 2010 book, and managed a first-of-its-kind activism data set as a fellow of the National Science Foundation. Mer has collaborated with nonprofits, foundations, think tanks, and firms in North America, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East, including the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard, the Open Government Partnership, Microsoft, and Google. Her graduate studies in Public Policy and Communication and undergraduate studies in History and Africana Studies were at the Harvard Kennedy School, the University of Washington, Vassar, and the University of Ghana. Having also lived in Morocco, Chile, and India, Mer now lives in Seattle, where she enjoys biking and intentional communities.    Key Takeaways:   Inclusivity is about voices, not faces. Just because someone has a face that matches an excluded community doesn't mean you are hearing their voice.   An absence of trust from people who are brought into a room for the first time is an obstacle to inclusion because they may not share their true opinions.   It's very important to make certain that you are transparent with your motivation.   Think of inclusive decision making through the lens of “trust dials.”   Types of decisions needed include: Fixed: Already created and cannot be altered by stakeholders; Flexible: Already created, but can still be altered according to stakeholder input; and Formable: Not yet created and need to be created with stakeholders.   When seeking feedback and input, remember to close that communication loop and say, “thank you for coming to this session. This is how we integrated your suggestions into our [fill in the blank].”   Structure the decision-making process in a way that gives power over the outcome or over the agreement, such that the outcome could look different because of what people say.    Inclusive decision-making starts well ahead of the decisions. It starts with building relationships.   Useful Links: Mer Joyce, mer@dobiggood.com   Do Big Good Website Do Big Good YouTube Channel Do Big Good on Facebook

This week, Stephanie Wong and Anthony Bushong introduce a special podcast of the Gtalk at Airbus speaker series where prestigious Googlers have been invited to talk with Airbus. In this episode, Vint Cerf, who is widely regarded as one of the fathers of the Internet, talks with Rhys Phillips of Airbus and fellow Googler Rafael Lami Dozo. Vint tells us about his journey to Google, including his interest in science which stemmed from a chemistry set he received as a child. After high school, he got a job writing data analyzation software on the Apollo project. His graduate work at UCLA led him to the ARPANet project where he developed host protocols, and eventually to his work on the original Internet with Bob Kahn. Vint tells us about the security surrounding this project and the importance of internet security still today. The open architecture of the internet then and now excites Vint because it allows new, interesting projects to contribute without barriers. Vint is also passionate about accessibility. At Google, he and his team continue to make systems more accessible by listening to clients and adapting software to make it usable. He sees an opportunity to train developers to optimize software to work with common accessibility tools like screen readers to ensure better usability. Later, Vint tells us about the Interplanetary Internet, describing how this system is being built to provide fast, effective Internet to every part of the planet. Along with groups like the Internet Engineering Task Force, this new Internet is being deployed and tested now to ensure it works as expected. He talks about his work with NASA and other space agencies to grow the Interplanetary Internet. Digital obsolescence is another type of accessibility that concerns Vint. Over time, the loads of data we store and their various storage devices could become unreadable. Software needed to use or see this media could no longer be supported as well, making the data inaccessible. Vint hopes we will begin practicing ways to perpetuate the existence of this data through copying and making software more backward compatible. He addresses the issues with this, including funding. Vint Cerf While at UCLA, Vint Cerf worked on ARPANet - the very beginnings of what we know as the internet today and is now, fittingly, Chief Internet Evangelist & VP at Google. He is an American Internet pioneer and is recognized as one of “the fathers of the Internet”, sharing this title with TCP/IP co-developer Bob Kahn.

With the Biden administration's $65 billion broadband bill now signed into law, this week we hear from Mark Buell, regional vice president for North America at the Internet Society, on the impact the legislation will have on the digital divide in the US. (Note: This conversation was recorded just prior to the bill passing in the House. It was officially signed as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act on November 15.) We discuss some of the "very good" things in the broadband bill, as well as the "less good" elements – like a lack of specific funding for municipal and community networks. We also discuss the urgency for the FCC to update its "horrendously inaccurate" national broadband map now that so much funding is at stake.

On this episode of Building Local Power, host Jess Del Fiacco is joined by Christopher Mitchell, Director of ILSR's Community Broadband initiative, and Christopher Ali, Associate Professor in the department of Media Studies at the University of Virginia. Their conversation focuses around the idea of what it means to be local during a time when more and more pieces of our lives are shifting online. Other highlights of the discussion include: Ali's recent Congressional testimony around rural broadband issues. Where federal broadband data is falling short. A rundown of recent and upcoming federal funding programs earmarked for broadband projects. How physical and virtual spaces can overlap, and the heightened importance of virtual community in rural areas. The case for connecting everyone to Internet access that goes beyond “good enough.”   “I also think when we talk about local broadband networks there's also this idea of return on investment that can't be measured by the quarter, as in quarterly shareholder returns. It's measured in communities and people connected, it's measured in the longterm — decades, sometimes. It's a very different way of thinking about broadband deployment — much less as a commodity, much more as a service and a utility. And that's why you'll see me and read me say over and over again, the best broadband is local broadband.”   Related Resources Media Localism: The Policies of Place by Christopher Ali Farm Fresh Broadband: The Politics of Rural Connectivity by Christopher Ali (Coming Soon) Transcript Jessica Del Fia…: Hello, and welcome to Building Local Power, a podcast dedicated to stop provoking conversations about how we can challenge corporate monopolies and expand the power of people to shape their own future. I'm Jess Del Fiacco, the host of Building Local Power and Communications Manager here at the Institute for Local Self-Reliance. For more than 45 years, ILSR has worked to build thriving, equitable communities where power, wealth, and accountability remain in local hands. And today we're going to have a discussion about what it means to be local in a time when so much of our lives is virtual, including this podcast recording itself. So welcome to the show, Christopher Ali, who is an Associate Professor at department of Media Studies at the University of Virginia, as well as Christopher Mitchell, who's the Director of the Community Broadband Initiative here at ILSR here at ILSR. Welcome to the show. Christopher Ali: Thank you very much. Christopher Mit…: You, you missed the other important part, which is Chris, has the best pipeline of people who come out of college ready to do important work on broadband. I've worked with many of his former students and I mean, Kat Blake, Katie Jordan, and then also, I didn't want to forget Anna Higgins because she works with Katie Jordan and the work that they're doing at Internet Society is so important. I shouldn't have started naming names because I won't get through them all. But now Jericho is on our staff currently just a lot of really great people who I think were inspired to do this work, Chris, so thank you for that. Christopher Ali: Well, thank you. And, yeah, those are some amazing young people doing amazing work and I love being able to follow their careers and the impact they are making specifically in this place or space of broadband deployment and the importance of kind of evangelizing the importance of community networks, local networks, broadband networks, more generally, I could not be more proud of them. Christopher Mit…: This is important. We desperately need more of these people. Jessica Del Fia…: That's actually a call for recruits, sort of broadcasters. Christopher Mit…: Right. If you're listening to these words and you have any interest in this, please come work. Jessica Del Fia…: All right, Chris, our guest, you recently testified before the Senate on Rural Broadband Policy generally,
