  REGISTER NOW! #ICANN59 Read Out Session @CivicHall 6pm Thursday #ICANN 

  On Thursday July 20 2017 at 6pm EDT the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers(ICANN) and the Internet Society’s New York Chapter (ISOC-NY) present a recap of ICANN 59 which took place in Johannesburg at the end of June.

  Some major issues under discussion were:

  • the future of the WHOIS system which identifies owners of websites
  • the robustness and reliability of Internet routing
  • access to the new TLDs
  • domain dispute process
  • law enforcement
  • Intellectual Property
  • human rights

  This ‘Read Out’ will not only give insights on what went down in Jo’burg, but also provide an opportunity for the NYC Internet community at-large to make its views known.

  Please join us! 

  Remote participation will be available – https://zoom.us/j/260896618

  Register (F2F or online) via Eventbrite – https://www.eventbrite.com/e/icann-59-read-out-session-tickets-36010695961 

   

  ISOC-NY works strongly to raise awareness and bring as many voice as possible to these processes. We would like to engage the NY tech and startup community as they could and should benefit from learning about these issues and taking on a greater interest. http://isoc-ny.org

  ICANN’s mission is to help ensure a stable, secure and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an address – a name or a number – into your computer or other device. That address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with a community of participants from all over the world. http://icann.org

  ISOC-NY and the #NetNeutrality Day of Action #openthepipes 

  As you will hopefully be aware, today July 12 is a designated ‘Internet-wide Day of Action‘ with the main purpose of creating sufficient ruckus to make the FCC think twice about rescinding its Open Internet Order.

  I write, personally, rather than institutionally, to clarify hopefully the Internet Society’s position on this​,​ which is somewhat nuanced.

  ​Firstly​, we welcome the day of action, and indeed any activity that raises the awareness of the network and its governance. Secondly, we thoroughly endorse the principles and spirit of openness that drive it.

  ​That said, there are certain aspects of the Net Neutrality concept and effort ​that give us pause, the main one being the idea that central authorities should tell people how to run their networks. The historical reason the Internet grew, while its peers vanished, was just this lack of control, husbanded by an ad hoc system of organization, exemplified by the IETF, of multistakeholder collaboration. This came to be called, in fact, ‘the Internet model’.

  Globally as, increasingly, authoritarian impulses drive attempts to control, or shatter the integrity of, the Internet abound, ISOC’s role to advocate against such efforts is clear. Oe of the main ways we do this, and I recommend a viewing of Kathy Brown’s keynote at the Mobile World Congress in Shanghai a couple of weeks back, is to encourage continuing local-driven growth at the edges i.e. community networks. In that speech, Kathy strongly urges cell carriers to support, and open their networks to, traffic from such communities, arguing that the resulting network effects will benefit everyone.

  This, I would suggest, is where the struggle lies today, in building sustainable modes of bottom up access to the network, rather than campaigning against yet-to-be manifested horrors of monopolistic manipulation. Fast lanes and slow lanes are beside the point.  The rallying cry should be “OPEN THE PIPES!“

    Joly, Thank you for your excellent post on Day of Action.

    So very important that the open nature of our Internet not be lost, but Verizon and their lawyers prefer to attempt to work to degrade the Internet to become a scarce, costly resource.

    They are wrong, the tides of history, technology, evolution are against them. They will lose, but are in process of harming the Internet as they try to undercut progress.

    Verizon is using the Federal Communications Commission to continue what we call “astroturfing”.

    No honor here for what has become a shambles of a telephone company, as they continue to resist progress. They have lost, perhaps can find survival in becoming a remote alarm company.

    Recordings and transcript available at
    http://isoc-ny.org/dsnc/2017-06-07/

    There were three main aspects today.
    1) We used a new caption overlay tool called AFLOAT, still in beta, that worked very well.
    2) Judith initiated a robust discussion on ICANN’s captioning and transcription standards.
    3) We live captioned the video of Sally Wentworth’s Internet Futures Project talk at EURODIG earlier today.

  WEBCAST TODAY: Will the Internet Fragment? A Discussion with Milton Mueller @OTI @ISOCDC @miltonmueller #netfrag 

  Today Tuesday June 6 2017, at noon EDT New America’s Open Technology Institute and the Internet Society Washington DC Chapter present Will the Internet Fragment? a panel featuring Professor Milton Mueller. author, of Will the Internet Fragment?: Sovereignty, Globalization and Cyberspace. In the book, Will the Internet Fragment?, Professor Mueller argues that the fragmentation diagnosis misses the mark, and the rhetoric of fragmentation camouflages the real issue: the attempt by governments to align information flows with their jurisdictional boundaries. The fragmentation debate is really a power struggle over the future of national sovereignty, pitting global governance and open access against traditional territorial institutions of government. This conflict, the book argues, can only be resolved through radical institutional innovations. In order to save the internet, we need to move away from national sovereignty and towards popular sovereignty in cyberspace. PANEL: Dr. Milton Mueller, Professor, Georgia Institute of Technology School of Public Policy; Rebecca MacKinnon, Director, Ranking Digital Rights project at New America; Tim Maurer, Co-director of the Cyber Policy Initiative, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; Angela McKay, Senior Director of Cybersecurity Policy and Strategy, Microsoft. MODERATOR: Derrick Cogburn, Professor, American University. The event will be webcast live on the New Anerica YouTube Channel, and the Internet Society Livestream Channel.

  Today Thurs May 18 2017 is Global Accessibility Awareness Day #GAAD #A11y 

  Today, Thursday May 18 2017, is the sixth annual Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD). The purpose of GAAD is to get everyone talking, thinking and learning about digital (web, software, mobile, etc.) access/inclusion and people with different disabilities. The target audience of GAAD is the design, development, usability, and related communities who build, shape, fund and influence technology and its use. While people may be interested in the topic of making technology accessible and usable by persons with disabilities, the reality is that they often do not know how or where to start. Awareness comes first.

  Read the blog post by Joe Devon that originally inspired GAAD.

  Learn more about

  • How it all got started
  • Public events that you are invited to attend
  • Other activities taking place to mark the day

  Whether you participate in an organized activity with others or not, join us and take an hour out of your day to experience digital accessibility first-hand.
