Akplogan (CEO of AfriNIC) and Matthew Shears (Director of Internet Policy and
Human Rights, Center for Democracy and Technology) as moderator.
The participants also shared their viewpoints on implications and challenges
on multi-stakeholder principles, which includes: open and inclusive processes;
engagement, consists of participation and contribution; transparency and
accountability, and consensus-based decision-making. Some of the participants
shared their viewpoints that there is still a need to do open dialogue on definition of
multi-stakeholder, and it is under a fluid term, and may not be defined on all issues.
Participants also stated that there are still obstacles to imply the principle of participation on multi-stakeholder cooperation. The
obstacles range from how to build and promote effective participation, balancing geographical representation, evolving mechanisms
for multi-stakeholder process, and ensuring accountability and transparency.

Discussion about the key principles of Internet Governance has been a
challenging theme in IGF 2013. After interesting session about bridging
the role of government in multi-stakeholder cooperation which has been
held yesterday, the focus move forward to discuss the principles of Internet
Governance.
Every stakeholder such as the government, expert group, private sector,
civil society, technical community have opportunities to share their set
principles. Most of stakeholders already addressed 10 Principles for the Internet
Governance and while each participant already discuss their principles, it
appeared that all of them already build their set of principles based on the same
interest, such as human rights, openness, diversity, etc. Although there are still
some countries discussed back forward about their development on the internet
and the role and responsibility of stakeholders should be deliberated.
The most important question on this discussion is the direction to the future – what will we do in the next regarding princples of
internet governance, so this brings us to the moderator concluced in the closing that all of stakeholders’ representative agreed with
multistakeholder system and globalization, moreover they agree to move forward to act in this process, which is become the main
goal on this session: to create shared policies and standards that maintain internet global interopability in order to ensuring stability,
security, online use of the internet.

INTERNET can enhance the innovation and efficiency of economy sectors, including
the Small Medium Enterprises/SMEs. SMEs are utilizing online services to reach con-sumers
in local and global markets, despite the fact that they are one of the largest
beneficiaries of the trade benefits of the Internet. Based on this, on Day 2 IGF 2013
there was a discussion between Nick Ashton-Hart as a moderator, Farid Maruf from
Grameen Foundation, and Usmad Ahmed from Ebay Inc. They shared interesting views
about how the Internet’s multi-stakeholder model is changing the trade landscape and
empowering both consumers on the one hand, and sellers and producers on the other,
with a particular focus on enterprise.
Farid Maruf started with the idea that internet can empowered SMEs in Indonesia.
But to achieve that goal, it should be supported by providing information services for the people, by building two ways flows of
trusted, and actionable information.
Moreover, Usman said Internet could boost SMEs to engage in global trade, with two benefits such as survival rate and concen-tration
of sales. The survival rate is much higher on the Internet than it is in the offline context. Moreover, small and local enterprise
has difficulty to be found in offline, however online could intermediate this problem, they could engage the customer in local also
global trade.

The discussion about right issues for indigenous peoples and
disadvantaged groups among other marginalized groups was
held on Day 2 IGF 2013. This session was attended by Catherine
Easton from Lancaster University, Stuart Hamilton from IFLA,
Konstantinos Komaitis from ISOC, Julia from NGO which against
cybercrime, and Nadine from EROTICS. They have been defining
who is marginalized and how, what actors are needed to be part
of the solution and strategies for moving forward, but also defining
and broadening understanding of disadvantaged groups.
Konstantinos Komaitis explained, “It’s quite surprising and
disappointing that we are in 2013 and still dealing with issues of
disadvantaged people on the Internet”. He then added, “There
are issues of affordability. Internet is still extremely expensive
and it’s expensive especially for some disadvantaged people and
minorities.”
The participants agree that to solve these issues a more
cross-sectorial cooperation between policymakers, ministries,
In the context of fulfillment of human rights, the development of
internet technology has been giving a lot of positive benefits
to meet the needs and improving the quality of human life.
Therefore, in an environment of growing internet penetration, an
increasing number of states are introducing laws and practices
that have a profound impact on the ability of citizens to exercise
their rights online. But in fact, the number of people being jailed
because they commit “online crime” actually increased in some
countries.
Given this fact, Sanja Kelly from Freedom House,
concluded that “There is freedom of speech, but not freedom
after speech,” to describe the increasing oppression on rights
to voice on the internet. Other panelists at this workshop in
Kintamani 7 at 11:00 to 12:30 am included Nighat Dad, Lawyer
and Activist PAKISTAN, Indri Saptaningrum, Executive Director
from ELSAM-Indonesia, Bouziane Zaid, Assistant Professor at
Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane, Morocco.
The discussion also points out that many countries are
doing social media or websites blocking in their country. There
are also countries that prefer to detain offenders and sending
citizens into prison under the argument of state security. It is
said that currently Internet is also used to develop business
activities so these issues somehow related to each other. But
government remains as the most powerful party in determining
regulatory determination of any information that may be
distributed to the community.

The main issue of gender
and women’s equal are
right to access, use and
shape ICTs.
Most of the important
questions that were
discussed in this session
are who benefits from ICTs,
who will be dictating the
course of ICTs, and how
far or possible to harness
ICTs to serve larger goals of
equality and justice.
In this session, Nnenna
Nwakanma from African
Union, said that access to
ICTs is still faraway reality
for the vast majority of people.
Some of the factors included are the absence of basic
infrastructure, high costs of ICT deployment, unfamiliarity
with ICTs and dominance of the English language in
Internet content. These barriers pose even greater
problems for women.
Siti Noor Laila from National Human Rights Commission
of Indonesia said that “The issue of Internet Governance
in Indonesia has not considered as an important issue,
particularly in relation to gender and ICT. For example
there have been some verbal abuse on the internet, such
as showing a picture of raped women, which have led to
horizontal conflicts between two areas.”
Some of the international organizations and civil
society groups like CSO from Pakistan, New Zealand
and also India are engaging with issues that concern the
democratization of the ICT from the digital divide and the
right to communicate, to cultural diversity and intellectual
property rights.
Within the ICT, women have relatively little ownership
of and influence on the decision-making processes,
being underrepresented in the private sector, multi-stakeholders,
civil society and government bodies which
control this issue.
But it is also concluded that forums like IGF, has taken
constructive steps to integrate gender equality into its
space, processes and issues, related with the access,
freedoms and women’s right to public participation.

Based on Citizen Lab’s research, what are the biggest
problem that happens now in cyberspace?
I think generally speaking there’s been an evolution over the last
decade. Where we’ve seen 10 years ago, very few governments
had any internet policy at all. It was very much straightforward
positive association of development information and communica-tion
technologies, there’s alot of emphasis on promoting growth.
Overtime though the internet and cyberspace generally, mobile
phones or other technologies have become important security
issues. Means that we have seen increases in content controls,
clearly internet censorship, much more issues around surveil-lance
on internet platforms and development of commercial
products and services that provides censorship, surveillance and
even computer network attack capabilities. Of them all, I think the
biggest worry for me is the last one. Private company is selling
technologies to government intelligent armed forces to spy on
people, to monitor communication and this industry is growing.
And this is being marketed in the context where there’s not always
very good oversight and accountability.
Facing the negative trends in cyberspace such as surveillance, what should global community do?
So I think that things are going to get worse rather than better unfortunately. Primarily is because the Snowden revelations….
I worry that when other governments hear about the Snowden revelations, they will want to build their own NSA’s. They want
to extract themselves, insulate themselves from US. Which sounds a good thing to do but in reality that could be used to build
fences around the internet, control by the governments. Meaning more censorship, more surveillance nationally. So in the short
terms things are going to get worst. What can we do about it? I think we need more research. First of all we need to open the
doors, peek behind the curtains and find out what’s going on.
