Subject:        Cybersecurity BPF - Call for Inputs Now Open!
________________________________


Dear All,

On behalf of the IGF 2017 Best Practice Forum (BPF) on Cybersecurity, we are 
pleased to inform you that the BPF has opened a call for contributions until 15 
September 2017.

All stakeholders are now invited to make their submissions using the 
questionnaire below.

This year's BPF work focuses on the cybersecurity implications of policies for 
universal access and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) - we 
would be grateful for your inputs on these important issues! All submission 
instructions are included in the call details below and available on the IGF's 
website<https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/bpf-on-cybersecurity-2017-call-for-contributions>.

For any questions, please do reach out to the Secretariat, BPF lead expert 
Maarten van Horenbeeck, and/or co-facilitators Segun Olugbile and Markus Kummer.

We look forward to receiving your contributions!

Best regards,

Eleonora

BPF on Cybersecurity 2017 - Call for Contributions


All stakeholders are invited to submit written contributions addressing the 
below questions and issues to the 2017 
IGF<https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/lexicon/8> 
BPF<https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/lexicon/8> on Cybersecurity 
mailing list (subscribe: 
https://www.intgovforum.org/mailman/listinfo/bp_cybersec_2016_intgovforum.org<http://www.intgovforum.org/mailman/listinfo/bp_cybersec_2016_intgovforum.org>)
 by 15 September 2017. While it is envisioned that initial drafting of the 
output document will begin on 15 September, this should be considered a soft 
deadline as contributions will be welcome after the 15th of September, 
particularly contributions from IGF National and Regional Initiatives (NRIs) 
and from other relevant entities or organisations who may be holding meetings 
relating to cybersecurity prior to the IGF annual meeting in December.

Contributions will then be compiled and synthesized by the Secretariat, and 
further circulated to the community for comment and further work towards an 
output document for the BPF to be presented at the 12th IGF in Geneva, 
Switzerland from 18-21 December.

All individuals and organizations are asked to kindly try to keep their 
contributions to no more than 2-3 pages, and are encouraged to include 
URLs/Links to relevant information/examples/best practices as applicable. When 
including specific examples or detailed proposals, those may be included as an 
Appendix to the document. Please attach contributions as Word Documents (or 
other applicable non-PDF text).

Overview:

During 2015 and 2016, the Policy Options for Connecting and Enabling the Next 
Billion(s) (CENB) activity within the Internet Governance Forum identified two 
major elements:

·        Which policy options are effective at creating an enabling 
environment, including deploying infrastructure, increasing usability, enabling 
users and ensuring affordability;

·        How Connecting and Enabling the Next Billion(s) contributes to 
reaching the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The Best Practice Forum on Cybersecurity realizes that making Internet access 
more universal, and thus it supporting the SDGs, has significant cybersecurity 
implications. Well-developed cybersecurity helps contribute to meeting the 
SDGs. Poor cybersecurity can reduce the effectiveness of these technologies, 
and thus limit our opportunities to helping achieve the SDGs.

BPF participants have conducted an initial study of how the policy proposals 
compiled as part of CENB Phase I and II may affect, or be affected by, 
cybersecurity implications.

As part of this ongoing effort, the IGF is now calling for public input to 
collect additional risks and cybersecurity policy recommendations that can help 
mitigate security impacts, and help ensure ICTs and the Internet continue to 
help contribute to achieving the SDGs.

Questions:

·        How does good cybersecurity contribute to the growth of and trust in 
ICTs and Internet Technologies, and their ability to support the Sustainable 
Development Goals (SDGs)?

·        How does poor cybersecurity hinder the growth of and trust in ICTs and 
Internet Technologies, and their ability to support the Sustainable Development 
Goals (SDGs)?

·        Assessment of the CENB Phase II policy recommendations identified a 
few clear threats. Do you see particular policy options to help address, with 
particular attention to the multi-stakeholder environment, the following 
cybersecurity challenges:

o        Denial of Service attacks and other cybersecurity issues that impact 
the reliability and access to Internet services

o        Security of mobile devices, which are the vehicle of Internet growth 
in many countries, and fulfill critical goals such as payments

o        Potential abuse by authorities, including surveillance of Internet 
usage, or the use of user-provided data for different purposes than intended

o        Confidentiality and availability of sensitive information, in 
particular in medical and health services

o        Online abuse and gender-based violence

o        Security risks of shared critical services that support Internet 
access, such as the Domain Name System (DNS), and Internet Exchange Point (IXP) 
communities

o        Vulnerabilities in the technologies supporting industrial control 
systems

o        Use of information collected for a particular purpose, being 
repurposed for other, inappropriate purposes. For instance, theft of 
information from smart meters, smart grids and Internet of Things devices for 
competitive reasons, or the de-anonymization of improperly anonymized citizen 
data

o        The lack of Secure Development Processes combined with an immense 
growth in the technologies being created and used on a daily basis

o        Unauthorized access to devices that take an increasing role in 
people’s daily lives

o        Other: describe a cybersecurity issue critical to developing the SDGs 
in ways not listed above relevant to your stakeholder community (100 words or 
less)

·        Many Internet developments do not happen in a highly coordinated way - 
a technology may be developed in the technical community or private sector, and 
used by other communities and interact in unexpected ways. Stakeholders are 
managing complexity.
This both shows the strength and opportunities of ICTs and Internet 
Technologies, but also the potential risks. New technologies may be 
insufficiently secure, resulting in harms when they are deployed: conversely we 
may adopt security requirements or measures that prevent the development, 
deployment, or widespread use of technologies that would generate unforeseen 
benefits. Where do you think lies the responsibility of each stakeholder 
community in helping ensure cybersecurity does not hinder future Internet 
development?

·        Where do you think lies the responsibility of each stakeholder 
community in helping ensure cybersecurity does not hinder future Internet 
development?

·        What is for you the most critical cybersecurity issue that needs 
solving and would benefit most from a multi-stakeholder approach within this 
BPF? Should any stakeholders be specifically invited in order for this issue to 
be addressed?
