18:00-20:00 All Chapter's Meeting
Salle B
  • Moderator:
    Vinton Cerf, ISOC Vice President for Chapters, United States

For the first time ever, we will be getting together as many of the existing and forming Internet Society chapters as possible. The meeting will have several purposes:

1. Simply meeting some of the people behind other chapters worldwide.

2. Bring everyone up-to-date on current chapter policy, progress and ISOC strategy.

3. Regional chapter associations – how can chapters work together in regional areas such as Europe?

4. Share experiences – successes and failures – to help other chapters form policy and programs.

5. Attempt to identify common issues and areas where chapters might be able to collaborate to mutual advantage, and areas where ISOC International input is required.

As a result of this meeting, we hope to identify specific actions required by ISOC International, individual volunteers, and individual chapters. The meeting is primarily intended to share information and experiences between existing ISOC chapters; however chapters just forming will certainly find it useful. The meeting is open to anyone.

National Governments Panel

This distinguished panel of government officials will discuss the social impact of the Internet and governments' use of the Internet for implementing (or influencing) social programs - education, healthcare, communications, welfare programs, economic stimulus, etc. Specific examples of how the Internet is used to achieve government objectives for the good of their citizens; and, projected uses of the Internet, in the planning stage, will be considered and discussed. Should citizens be "protected" from certain content? How can regulation improve access for all? What are the major constraints for Internet proliferation? What should the role of national governments be regarding international issues confronting the Internet?

Moderator:

Governance Panel

The following major figures in the shaping of Internet governance models for the Internet Domain Name System and for the administration of address assignments will discuss their perspective on the role of governments in the governance of the Internet. What is the involvement of a national or regional government? How can they avoid being the dominant player amongst the many disparate Internet stakeholders? What is self-governance; or, what isn't it? Is the United States too dominant of a player in Internet governance? Does the EU intent to assert its power and influence in Internet affairs such as content regulation and taxation? Is the Asia/Pacific regional under-represented in Internet governance issues?

14:00 - 18:00 Internet Names Summit

Following INET'98, be sure to join major stakeholders, policy makers and Internet leaders from throughout the world in a major Internet Summit, here in Palexpo, beginning Friday afternoon July 24 and extending through Saturday, July 25. The Summit follows release of a U.S. government White Paper on its policy to transfer the Internet's domain name system to the private sector, allowing for self governance with coordinated functions provided by a new non-profit corporation. The administration of the Internet names and addresses is currently performed by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), which operates under the charter of ISOC and is funded by the U.S. government.

The Summit will include sessions dealing various issues identified in the White Paper, such as the development of the new corporation, trademark issues, security and privacy issues, the future governance of Country Codes and other self governance issues. Speakers will include representatives from a variety of organizations, and will have very diverse opinions.

14:00-16:00 New Chapter Development Workshop
Mont Blanc

An ever increasing number of ISOC chapters are being created around the world. Local chapters enhance exchange and spark off debate of Internet related issues on a local or regional level. They also help to raise more general awareness of the role of the Internet and enable the point of view of the Internet community to play a key role in decision-making processes.

Those who are interested in setting up an ISOC chapter in their town or country should attend this important workshop, which is free of charge. The provisional agenda includes brief presentations of how two or three existing chapters were created; of the structures made available by ISOC to help in the creation of new chapters; of administrative procedures involved in becoming an ISOC chapter; and a discussion of specific problems facing the participants in setting up a new chapter. Participants will be provided with printed material to help them in setting up a new chapter.
