Brussels, December 21-22, 2011

Audience Participation!

While you watch this PPT:o send a short email about your experience with:

1.Standards bodies1. What you did, what the result was, other actors (note SEA2 work ongoing)

2.Standards case study1. Any unusual/counter-intuitive example - hold-ups, forum shifting

2. Examples of civil society involvement (and multiple hat wearing)3.Standards literature

o Different literatures in each disciplineo Legal, social science, economic, comp.sci. etc/

WP Objectives

Regulatory and governance mechanisms behind

development of Internet standards.o to draw lessons from social scientific analysiso to ensure the appropriateness of the standardso as the Internet gets deeper into the social fabric.

Tasks in JRA4

R4.1 Overview of regulatory and governance

methodologies R4.2 Cataloguing governance tools for standards R4.3 Standards body case studies R.4.4 Map New Participants in Standards Task

R4.5 Cross-Mapping governance


8/3/2019 EINS_JRA4



R4.1 Overview of methodologies

Essex, UPMC, Savoie, Warw, Oslo, NEXA, UNIBO, CNR, Stockholm, LSE

Develop multi-disciplinary catalogue of methodologieso To aid better understanding of challenges to better participative decision-making,o including open-source governance approacheso e.g. open-source standards for hardware as well as software


8/3/2019 EINS_JRA4



Task R4.2 Cataloguing governance tools

o UESSEX, NEXA, UoS, CNR

Development of tools that help Scientifically designed legitimate governance Towards a better understanding

o of needs and requirements for Internet design

o based on broad socio-political buy-ino (or at least better informed acquiescence)o in the design process and outcomes.


8/3/2019 EINS_JRA4



Goal not only to present and understand the

various methodologies,o but also clarify their standing,o specific policy needs they address,o gap analysis to understand growing legitimacy problems

and potential solution or bypass.1.Leads to regulatory governance taxonomy

1.various methodologies classified and understood.

2.drive governance tool development JRA4.23.based on dedicated use cases in Task R4.34.cross-mapping in Task R4.4


8/3/2019 EINS_JRA4



Task R4.3 Standards body case studies

NEXA, LSE, UiO

Construct a living catalogue:o standards bodies and their functions.o both telecoms and Internet standards,

Complex interplays and trade-offs between the

various institutionso design choices relating to software and hardware, to

privacy, security, and extensibility.

R.4.4 Map New Participants in Standards Making

Civil Society, Wider Participation UNIBO, NEXA, LSE, MLS, LJU

Identify potential new participants success factors of differing approaches

o including alternative or similar examples,

o to the well-known US examples Creative Commons, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Free Software Foundation, Centre for Democracy and Technology, Free Press

o within the European standards sphere.


8/3/2019 EINS_JRA4



Task R4.5 Cross-Mapping governance

o UESSEX, UPMC, UoS, WARW, UoP, MLS

cross-mapping governance methodologies andpolicies by crossing them with,o categories of non/human actors defining and executing themo the layer at which they operate.

3-dimensional matrix analysed/assessedo for compliance with democratic values,

e.g. transparency, legitimacy, accountability, fundamental rights.

Gap analysis may identify lacunae

WP Action List for the 1st Year

Task R4.1: series of events and workshopso with the relevant JRAso with external communities both on- and off-line.

Milestone R4.1 (M12) Initial outline of catalogues

plus full draft of methodologies; Hypotheses for governance & regulation taxonomy


8/3/2019 EINS_JRA4



Deliverable R4.1 Outline overviews of Tasks R4.1R4.4 M12

Full first overview of o regulatory and governance methodologies,o test candidate case studies for examination

Tentative hypotheses as to a governance and

regulation taxonomy presentedo strawman for further refinement and analysiso moving from Task R4.1/4.3 to explore within Task 4.2.


8/3/2019 EINS_JRA4



Interdependencies with other WPs

Outcomes include strong collaboration with SEA2

on ICT standard-setting institutions Also JRAs dealing with standards making


8/3/2019 EINS_JRA4



WP Impact

Outreach to social science researchers via long-

established connections to theo European (EuroCPR),o United States (TPRC), ando international academic communities

E.g. GIGANET, IAMCR, International TelecommunicationsSociety


8/3/2019 EINS_JRA4



Ultimate objective of JRA4

To disseminate and collaborate research

methodologies in new methods of regulation ± including stakeholder dialogues and choices that

affect the present and future Internets - considering concerns from various stakeholders

and design communities. E.g. participation, democratic values, network growth and complexity, interoperability, security,

privacy

Note importance of close collaboration with SEA2


8/3/2019 EINS_JRA4



Issues to be discussed and decided


1. How do the various sub-tasks fit together

i.e. methodology development, stakeholder mapping, case studies2. How are the practical elements of these tasks divided

does the same person/team contribute to all of these tasks related to aspecific set of case studies, or are they more separate?

3. How will workflow be organized e.g. linking case studies with analytic activities that follow
