  WEBCAST TODAY: Digital Economy For Africa @WorldBank #digitalafrica 

  Today, Thursday April 19 2018 at 11am EDT (15:00 UTC) the World Bank hosts Digital Economy For Africa in Washington DC. Technology can help African countries skip traditional development stages to fast-forward economic growth, manage resources more efficiently, and bring essential services to even the most vulnerable people. To leverage these opportunities, how can public and private actors come together to expand connectivity to all? How can Africa equip its workforce with the skills needed to thrive in the digital world? How can countries across the region coordinate their efforts to foster entrepreneurship and create a regional digital ecosystem? Tech pioneers, public sector leaders, and development partners will address these questions and discuss what it will take for Africa to build a sustainable, secure, and inclusive digital economy.

    From my point of view, I don’t believe the UN wants to take over the internet.
    And indeed, the way is another.
    It wants to ensure that the Internet is broad, secure and integrated because freedom of communication embodies human rights and increases wealth.
    Freedom of communication guarantees a globalized world and that is the solution to reduce poverty.
    And it will not happen without internet broad access.
    But a concern for ITU has been the monopoly.
    No country can have internet monopoly
    So I see that dual root for DNS should always be a reason for surveillance.
    IF ICANN has the Internet in hand this is correct because the principles within ICANN are in the same sense as the United Nations and there is a collective conscience to the detriment of monopolizing powers.
    There is no competition between UN, ICANN and ITU , but there is cooperation.
    Governance is done through cooperation and this achieves humanitarian ends without being an obstacle to corporate profits.

  WEBCAST TODAY: Governing the Internet of Things @isocdc @InternetGov @doctorow #iot #iotgov 

  Today, Friday March 30 2018, the Internet Society Washington DC Chapter (ISOC DC) and the Internet Governance Lab will host a mini-conference Governing the Internet of Things at the American University in Washington DC. The Internet’s architecture and governance structures have been designed to enable innovation, global communication and the free flow of information, but the Internet of Things presents a new range of governance challenges. An Internet embedded in the material world creates new and increased concerns around privacy, security, and the possibility of physical harm to people and disruption of material infrastructure. To what extent do the Internet’s underlying architectural and governance principles need to evolve to address these risks? What is the outlook for security and privacy in the context of ubiquitous cyber-physical systems that range from cars to medical devices to home control systems? What forms of inequality and discrimination are emerging in this environment? This panel brings together stakeholders from industry, design communities, civil society and academia to address the transformation of Internet governance in the age of cyber-physical systems. Speakers: Cory Doctorow, Author; Paul Ohm, Professor Georgetown Law; Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino, Open Internet of Things Certification Mark; Gilad Rosner, Internet of Things Privacy Forum; Tatevik Sargsyan, Ranking Digital Rights Project, New America Foundation; Adam Thierer, George Mason University; Derrick Cogburn, American University; Laura DeNardis, American University; Andrew Rens, American University.
