Madrid, May 24 (EFE) .- The imminent decision to export management domains outside the US, along with the importance they have already cybersecurity and privacy will make 2015 is “crucial” face global challenges for network control, according to the coordinator of the Forum for Internet Governance in Spain.
“We are at a particularly important time” on issues of governance of the network, and “countries should be more involved without being altered today’s digital dynamism, ie, greater cooperation between them, but without exceeding regulations that could kill innovation in this sector.
This was said in an interview with EFEfuturo Professor Jorge Perez Martinez, coordinator of the Internet Governance Forum in Spain (IGF), the next annual conference will be held in Madrid The 27th, 28th and 29th of May, and with the participation of leading experts Administration of technology companies and associations of Internet users, among others, to discuss the challenges the government network.
This national forum, created in 2007 in the School of Telecommunications Engineering (ETSIT) of the Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM), a pioneer, compared to other countries In this type of initiatives arising from the Forum called global governance.
In this annual event in Spain will reflect on the increase in the school and child cyberbullying, cyber security or the challenges arising from the digital economy, among other issues that are prompting some countries to increase control over the network.
According to the coordinator of the Forum on Internet Governance in Spain, responsible for the Chair Red.es at the Polytechnic University of Madrid, “countries are increasingly aware of the importance of control on critical Internet resources “.
Proof of this is the massive spying on Internet users by the US government as justified by the authorities for safety reasons, while totalitarian regimes seek to control the virtual world, aware that social networks interfere with the creation of opinions and mobilize the masses and even promote revolutions.
“It is time to treat problems associated global Internet; transcend physical boundaries no longer apply and only local solutions,” adds the expert, author of books like “The debate about privacy and security on the Internet: regulation and markets,” Telefonica Foundation and Ariel Publishing, where it reviewed the upcoming challenges of the internet in relation to these matters
.
The internet governance involves many actors who fight for their piece of the pie: the control critical resources in EU associations; telecom operators and governments acting at national level, and in the meantime, the major technological, Google or Facebook type, operating globally being aware of the power of access to personal data of its users, critical to their trading strategies.
This creates friction in areas such as privacy or security on the Internet, given the conflicting interests between business and government, according to the expert.
Now technological strive to encrypt user data communications for security purposes, while governments are wary of such practices, which hinder the fight against cybercrime and terrorism international to hinder access to information on the network.
The Internet governance is “very fragmented” reiterates; decisions are made by those involved in its implementation (government, business, civil society) and not fixed a government alone, or a particular international organization, as in other multilateral fora.
Hence the relevance of governance fora, both national and international to the proposals and ideas of regional rise, and then serve to advance this model shared among several agents and “proven to work” government, he says, and so he could not rule out moving over time to other political and economic fields with multilateral interests.
For example, to controversial negotiations and reductions in carbon dioxide agreed between countries, because they involve many social and economic agents around the world and are very difficult decisions adopted by classical institutional structures.
