Day 2 – Panel discussion on security, privacy and openness

The discussions on these topics are really good and eye openers to many of us.

The actions of the Brazil Government in controlling the child pornography are really commendable.



I am astonished to hear from the Brazilian Senator and the chairman of the Parliament committee that we investigate Child Porn, and he is determined to fight crime and child pornography.



And his feelings are worthy on the role of ISPs and Google.



Yes it is very clear that When our… Continue

IGF Day 1 and 2

First of all allow me to express my gratitude to Diplo and ITU for sponsoring my attendance in the 3rd IGF in Hyderabad City, India. I think everyone shares my feeling that coming to India after the siege on Mumbai’s Taj Mahal hotel was scary. But life must go on so we attended the IGF without thinking of any harm to come.

On the first day, while the workshops were well organized there was a problem with punctuality. Some workshops did not start on time and some overshot the allotted time… Continue

IGF 2008 : Day 2 Cybersecurity and Cybercrime

Internet is a two edged sword where one one hand there is a world of good that has been derived out of it but at the same time it is also a silent dark force that creeps into our lives with renewed threats to our homes, businesses and the world of good. Its good time that we discuss about the forces of the dark thereby creating an awareness.



The advent of Internet has made the world " a global village ". Organizations worldwide tend to increasingly move from a paper based environment… Continue

My first day with IGF

My first day with IGF was full. I participated to 4 workshops: Multilingualism; e-education; Futures of internet and Knowledge as a public good.



In the first workshop, many ICT experts made presentations. The diversity of language is crucial for the future of Internet. Today, we are dealing with lack of internet content in counties such Africa that have only 0,3% of internet content compared to UK(0,4%). South Africa only has 80% of all Africa contents. This is due to language… Continue

Ist Day at the IGF Meeting Hyderabad (3rd December 2008)

I really want to say this was a DIFFERENT day for me, so much out of the usual. I started with a lot of anxiety knowing i was to debate for the notion "The internet is to vulnerable to be trusted". It was a challenge for me cause it was a new adventure, but with a lot of encouragement from Ginger, Maureen and all, i took the step. We(Maureen and I) based our agruement on the fact that the internet cannot be TRUSTED due to some major security probems such as



- Denial of service

-… Continue

My Highlights of Day 1 at IGF Hyderabad

The morning was already frenetic after agreeing (?) to participate with Ijeoma in the I-Voting Debate. It meant that my schedule for sessions was interrupted somewhat, but I am glad that I was able to help out and I enjoyed the experience. Fortunately we were allowed to make mistakes because it was the first debate of Diplo's programme. Congratulations to Ijeoma for the great job she did and thanks for asking me to join her (albeit late last night!). Thanks also to Jovan and others who gave… Continue

I suppose that this is the right place to provide comments on the conference. Seiiti and Vlada, please advise.



This morning I attended two events.



The first event was debate on "Internet Voting". The house debated the following statemet:



"Internet voting is too vulnerable to be trusted". Gigner - I just discovered one more of her talents in moderation and facilitation of substantive discussion in a very limited time. . If the BBC discovers her, Tim… Continue

Source for knowledge from the speakers !

The sessions for today were pretty impressive and there was so much of vital and useful information disseminated in the presentations . It would simply be great if we can have access to those presentations slides . Can we zero down on popular Web 2.0 tools like www.slideshare.com where these presentations can be uploaded and shared as links in the blogs for sharing with others.

This would be my humble request that we can put forth to the organizers of IGF 2008 !
