You are cordially invited to attend WITSA’s Global Action Policy &
Trade Summit (GPATS) to be held in SÃO PAULO, BRASIL on
November 12 and 13th, 2013, which will focus on Public Policies

Gathering at the Summit there will be senior officials and executives
from governments, industry, global institutions, academic

As ICTs are having a dramatic impact on governments, industries,

The Internet is now a critical part of business, cultural, political and social activity, enabling information to be
shared and voices to be heard globally. Equally, the increasing ubiquity of the Internet has been accompanied by
cybercrime, spam and breaches of privacy. Many national governments together with some international
institutions believe the Internet needs greater government regulation and oversight to supplant current multi
stakeholder structures. This session will assess the various positions about how global Internet governance should
evolve.
13. Keynote: Creating a
Global Cyber Immune System
Mr. Alan Marcus
ICT Director - World Economic Forum
Mr. Howard Schmidt
Partner - Schmidt Ridge Cyber
Just as people, communities, governments and nations have collaborated globally to
share knowledge and practices that have eliminated or reduced public health risks,
information about cyber risks, threats and vulnerabilities need to be shared globally
to encourage all IT stakeaholders to adopt good practices. This session examines how
greater openness, transparency and collaboration can reduce cyber threats,
highlighting best practices as well as sound policies and regulations -when needed-
that ensure the Internet remains healthy and trustworthy. Panelists will also address
how cyber security will need to become like the human immune system—isolating
and attacking intruders even before knowing their identity or source.

Global trade is at a crossroads. Either it advances or we will face a retreat from multilateralism, at our own peril. Without global
cooperation on finance, security, trade, the environment and poverty reduction, the risks of division, strife and war will remain
dangerously real. Waiting for better times will simply not suffice. Collectively, we must be bolder to cope with growing risks. ICT
goods and services underpin modern economic activity and development. This session addresses how open markets provide the most
effective means of ensuring everyone gains access to world’s best technology and services, at global prices.

Many countries have implemented policies to strengthen their local ICT sectors.
However, few in-depths studies on how best to develop comprehensive
methodologies on the measurement of this sector have been developed. This session
will explore the best strategies not only to fill this gap on the national level, but
explore the process of harmonizing various initiatives, so that comprehensive data
can be compared globally in the future.
16. Keynote: Innovative applications
of technology by youth
Mr. Peter A. Bruck
Chairman
World Summit Youth Award (WSYA)
Over one billion youth live in the world today. This means that approximately one
person in five is between the age of 15 to 24 years. The number of youth living in
developing countries will grow by 89.5% until 2025. Therefore, it is a must to take
youth issues into considerations in the ICT development agenda and ICT policies of

locally, nationally and globally – to change the world through innovative applications
of technology.
