<p>Hi, <br>
</p>
<p>Thanks Ian for the email. <br>
</p>
<p>I read the report and participated in the Washington launch event
with Vint Cerf, Amandeep Singh Gill and others at the Brookings
Institution. ICANN was notably absent at the event. (even as I see
myself as a accountable and representing only himself ICANN
privateer<span class="moz-smiley-s5"><span>:-D</span></span>).</p>
<p>I agree with Ian that despite the private sector heavy panel and
despite the fact that UN reports in general have not much real
value, this one is different and deserves our attention and
co-operation. What happens now is up to us. As became clear at the
launch event, there is not much money to promote the report even
less to follow it up. It seems that it is up to others to run with
it. <br>
</p>
<p>I also seems to me that discussing the follow up to the report,
and may do I dare say it, thinking about some follow up action,
might be the nearest this list has come for a long time to its
original purpose. ICANN can only benefit from it. <br>
</p>
<p>If others are interested, I am happy to participate
constructively.</p>
<p>Yours</p>
<p>Klaus Stoll<br>

</style>Hi everyone,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Last discussion here about whether to close this list
suggested maybe we should wait and see whether we want to
discuss the report of the UN High Level Panel on Digital
Co-operation (UNHLPDC).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So its out now. My initial take (basically taken from another
list) is below.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any comments from your reading of the documents?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div id="x8e9d424255f54154ac572a50aed023b5">
<div class="plain">
<div>There is a good short summary at <a href="http://nissaba.net/tldr/hlpdc-report/" style="white-space: pre-wrap; font-size: 12pt;" moz-do-not-send="true">http://nissaba.net/tldr/hlpdc-report/</a>.
But for those who want more, the full report and also a
presentation summary are available from <a
href="https://digitalcooperation.org"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://digitalcooperation.org</a>.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I thought the report was quite insightful in places:
while predictable in others. It contains a number of
structural recommendations to deal with issues which are
not being addressed well by current structures: and also a
suggested timetable to make sure they are addressed. As a
UN Report, it has credibility: it also contains a strong
commitment to multi stakeholder processes, while stressing
that only governments can make binding laws in this area.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I particularly like their recommendation 3C on lethal
autonomous weapons.</div>
<div><i><br>
</i></div>
<div><i> 3C: We believe that autonomous intelligent systems
should be designed in ways that enable their decisions
to be explained and humans to be accountable for their
use. Audits and certification schemes should monitor
compliance of artificial intelligence (AI) systems with
engineering and ethical standards, which should be
developed using multi-stakeholder and multilateral
approaches. Life and death decisions should not be
delegated to machines. We call for enhanced digital
cooperation with multiple stakeholders to think through
the design and application of these standards and
principles such as transparency and non-bias in
autonomous intelligent systems in different social
settings </i></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The report also includes a number of broad structural
options for mechanisms to deal with internet issues in the
future. These need some discussion as there is no clear
answer here IMHO. But in this context their timeframe
recommendation I think is very important - with multiple
options, things like this might never be resolved unless
there is a fixed timeframe.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><i>5A: We recommend that, as a matter of urgency, the
UN SecretaryGeneral facilitate an agile and open
consultation process to develop updated mechanisms for
global digital cooperation, with the options discussed
in Chapter 4 as a starting point. We suggest an initial
goal of marking the UN's 75th anniversary in 2020 with a
“Global Commitment for Digital Cooperation” to enshrine
shared values, principles, understandings and objectives
for an improved global digital cooperation
architecture...</i></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think there is potential here for some good actions
in a number of areas, and I do hope the sort of global
co-operation they envisage, and suggest structural options
for, does develop.</div>
