APrIGF Roundtable Agenda<\/span><\/div>\n

The programme for the roundtable event emulates the IGF structure of discussing the Internet governance issues around Access, Openness, Security, Critical Internet Resources and Diversity. Moderators have been nominated to organize panelists to help lead the roundtable sessions. In addition, we will be discussing the future shape of the IGF and close with a deeper look at the emerging issue of the role of civil society.<\/p>\n

In the spirit of the IGF, the meeting will be convened as a roundtable meeting with participation from the civil society, private sector and public sector. Outputs from the event will be used as inputs for the coming global IGF to be held in September 14-17 in Vilnius, Lithuania. The APrIGF will therefore help shape the future of the IGF. How should it be constituted? What should the IGF look like if it is to be held again? What should be on the agenda?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Introduction: Setting the Scene<\/span>
    \nThis session paints the backdrop for our two-day roundtable discussion. On the panel are many who have followed the meeting of the World Summit on the Information Society and the Working Group on Internet Governance, the report of which led to establishment of the IGF. What were the hopes and aspirations of the various alphabetic entities? How far have they come? Or not come? These and similar related questions will be explored in the session.<\/p>\n

1100-1230<\/td>\nSecurity: Cyber-Security and Network Confidence<\/span>
\nThe dangers of cyber threats continue to evolve with risks further compounding as increasingly connected societies transcend geographical and physical borders, where stakeholders communicate in realtime. Utilising the same networks and links that bind us globally, cyber threats and attacks are able to strike from virtually anywhere in the world, potentially causing catastrophic social and economic harm to countries that are oceans away. Neither governments, nor private sector entities can contain these cyber threats singlehandedly and domestically. This session will bring together the experience from experts in the region and to explore how the Asia Pacific region may be able to converge and share information and resources to escalate the cybersecurity and network confidence.<\/p>\n

1400-1530<\/td>\nOpenness: Challenges and Criticalness of an Open Internet Culture<\/span>
\nThe extensively open culture of the Internet provides an important platform for innovation, creativity and exchange of ideas. While the openness is a critical aspect of the Internet, it presents a challenge to safety and security of different dimensions. This includes challenges to parenting and child protection. This session will bring together a diverse set of stakeholders to explore the challenges and promises of the openness of the Internet.<\/p>\n

1600-1730<\/td>\nAccess: The Digital Divide in Asia<\/span>
\nInternet has dramatically transformed people\u2019s lives in the last decade, bringing new opportunities in education, employment and socio-economic development. At the same time, however, the gap between those who have access and those who have not is widening rapidly. This digital divide constitutes a major problem to modern society especially in the area of social development and poverty alleviation. This session explores studies, projects and initiatives from around Asia that aims to extend access and address the digital divide in Asia.<\/p>\n

0930-1100<\/td>\nManaging Critical Internet Resources<\/span>
\nThe term \u2018critical Internet resources\u2019 is described by the report of the United Nations Working Group on Internet Governance as including the administration of the domain name system (DNS) and Internet protocol (IP) addresses, administration of the root server system, technical standards, peering and interconnection, and telecommunications infrastructure, including innovative and convergent technologies. This session convenes experts in the region to explore the policy imperatives to move the Internet towards the IPv6 address space in face of the eventual exhaustion of IPv4 addresses, and the role of ccTLDs (Country Code Top Level Domains) and their relationships to ICANN and the Internet.<\/p>\n

\nHaving IDN TLDs is a part of multilingualism on the Internet, which is essential for Asian Internet users. Introduction of IDN TLDs has been over-a-decade effort started in AP region. Filnally, ICANN decided to launch IDN ccTLDs last November and some IDN ccTLDs have been already in place. Introduction of IDN gTLDs are under intensive discussion as part of new gTLDs. In this session, \u201cHow IDN TLDs will change our life\u201d will be discussed.<\/p>\n

1415-1545<\/td>\nEmerging Issues: Role of Civil Society in Internet Governance<\/span>
\nOne of the major recommendations of the WGIG Report was that civil society should have a key role in Internet governance, a role that places civil society as a stakeholder on par with government and the business sector. That\u2019s the theory. In practice, civil society does not seem to be a major stakeholder and these days its significance seems to be paling. Because civil society groups played an important role in the innovative use of the Internet, the concern over the loss is not just a matter of representation on the Internet but also the larger concern over whether future innovations may be stymied. This session aims to explore the question of the role of civil society in Internet governance.<\/p>\n
