- 7. Paul Rendek | NIX.CZ Meeting | 24 November 2016 7 Key moment in Internet history • The IANA stewardship transition is done! - We, the global Internet community, are now responsible for these core functions - We no longer have US stewardship as an excuse! • Accountability of all Internet organisations is a hot topic • Is our work in ICANN done? No
- 8. Paul Rendek | NIX.CZ Meeting | 24 November 2016 8 Post transition ICANN - The ICANN CCWG-Accountability (Work Stream 2) - SOAC subgroup - looking into decision making of Supporting Organisations(SO) and Advisory Committees(AC) - We made clear that the review is limited to the ASO role in ICANN - not the numbers community - RIPE and the larger technical community need to be in control of their accountability and what that means for us - Governments/LEAS - looking into the accountability of IP WHOIS (RIPE Database) - RIPE Accountability Task Force - formed at RIPE 73
- 9. Paul Rendek | NIX.CZ Meeting | 24 November 2016 9 Key moment in Internet history • A changing RIPE NCC membership means a changing Internet • The Internet governance landscape is changing too! - Security issues are in the spotlight like never before - A shift in focus on local regulation and legislation - The IoT is presenting new challenges to operators, regulators, law enforcement, users
- 10. Paul Rendek | NIX.CZ Meeting | 24 November 2016 10 IoT - business as usual? • “Nothing New”… well kind of - Centred around communications between machines and things - not so much humans • A chance for progress and innovation • A risk to infrastructure and society in general - We need to get this right the first time around - no easy way back - Time critical services set high demand for round trip times - infrastructure must be smooth and uninterrupted (IXPs) - We are moving closer to regulation - we need to meet the demands as a community to sustain bottom-up model
- 11. Paul Rendek | NIX.CZ Meeting | 24 November 2016 11 Working with all stakeholders • Building working relationships with all stakeholders is vital - Enterprise, media operators, financial institutions, infrastructure providers, government: all are now players in the Internet! - The RIPE NCC counts the Czech government as an important player in venues such as the ITU, the EU and UN forums - Technical Community needs to own the debate on issues central to their business
- 12. Paul Rendek | NIX.CZ Meeting | 24 November 2016 12 Strong community • Building local communities is key - The Czech technical community (and pioneers like Jan Gruntorád, Tomáš Maršálek, Milan Sterba…) have been great contributors to the Internet Technical Community - putting Czech Republic on the map - Seeing a welcome push to coordinate the Slovak technical community: NOGs, Internet governance events, etc. all bring community together Need to learn from each other!
- 13. Paul Rendek | NIX.CZ Meeting | 24 November 2016 13 Strong community • This is a moment for the Internet community (communities!) to work together - Influence our governments’ policies - defend the bottom-up, open and inclusive self-regulatory structure - Autonomy and self governance comes with a price tag! Happy Birthday NIX.CZ
