Exploring the issue of Internet fragmentation challenges at IGF Belarus Post

Day O is opened by the federal Minister, a person who carries quite a weight. Taking a legitimate pride in the unvelievable turnout of 5,000, he reiterated the usual slogans. The Internet, claims he, should not build walls, like the Berlin wall that was brought down 30 years ago. A novelty, perhaps, is there is a greater focus on the role of MPs in the process of legitimizing robust IG practices and the pledge of 1m Euros to Poland, the next host of the global IGF. Photo

Photo CEO of Siemens. Hard to guess buzz words? 5G, cybersecurity, extraterritorial and transborder nature of the Internet, data fliws, legal regimes. Also, there should be a Contract for the Web, a new initiative by Tim Berners Lee, which will be unveiled later in the day. Siemens also came with
6 proposals: 1) the integrity of data enforceable by law; 2) data owners are in control of data; 3) cybersecurity – a Charter of Trust as a set of rules to follow voluntarily to stay in Siemens’s ecosystem; 4) co-creation-teaming up for good things; 5) data for the public good-by industry and for the Human kind, whether medicine or industry; 6) sustainable values.
We need actionable items across the IG agenda.
We are late in defining the rules, but it is time to do so. If not us, it will be defined by someone else.
It is terrible to hear ideas to decouple the Internet. We need to integrate, tolerate, and tell the truth about the intent.

A national and regional IG initiatives session, which usually is a bore, is now moderated brilliantly by Vlada Radunovic of Diplo Foundation. Small wonder the room is packed and spirits are high. The diverse multistakeholder panel does not chew gum but is keen to discuss best practices in cooperation in cybersecurity, awareness raising, and transborder challenges. Photo

Change of guards at RNIDS, the .RS/СРБ registry of Serbia: Voiijslav Rodic, the Council Chair, and Vladimir Manic, the CEO, have left the registry following the Council and staff rotation procedure. Both Voja and Vladimir were instrumental in getting RNIDS involved in APTLD as an Associate Member and we thank them for their service and commitment to the community but not bidding farewell to them, of course, as our paths will definitely cross one day. With the search for a new CEO underway, it is Dejan Djukic who will remain the principal contact until further notice.
Yudho Giri Sucahyo, Chair of PANDI, has become Full Professor in computer science. Congratulations! Post
