IGF 2016: Internet Governance in action 互联网治理在行动

The United Nations’ International Telecommunications Union (ITU) coordinates globally the telephone service, but not the Internet. The Internet is managed by private law corporations, such as ICANN. In order to ensure the public accountability of the Internet’s management, the UNO Secretary-General convenes since November 2006 every year the Internet Governance Forum (IGF), an annual multi-stakeholder forum for policy dialogue. It brings together all stakeholders in the Internet governance debate, whether they represent governments, the private sector or civil society, including the technical and academic community, on an equal basis and through an open and inclusive process. While there’s no negotiated outcome, the IGF informs and inspires those with policy-making power in both the public and private sectors. At their annual meeting delegates discuss, exchange information and share good practices with each other.

国际电信联盟 （ITU）是联合国专门负责国际电信事务的机构，互联网并不在其管辖范围之内。因此，全球的互联网相关事务目前是由像互联网名称与数字地址分配机构 （ICANN）这样的独立机构在进行协调管理。为了保障互联网管理的公信力，自2006年11月起，联合国每年组织召开互联网治理论坛 (IGF)—一个关注互联网政策对话的年度多方利益相关者论坛。秉承平等、开放、包容原则，每届论坛邀请各国政府、企业、私人部门、包括学术和科技群体在内的民间组织等利益相关方参与全球互联网治理的讨论。纵观历届论坛，虽然取得的突出成果并不多，但它对公私领域政策决定者们的启发和引导作用却是不可忽视的。互联网治理论坛为来自各国各界的与会代表提供了一个讨论、分享有价值信息和实践的交流平台。

IGF 2016 took place early December in the Mexican town of Guadalajara. ChinaEU sent delegates to the Forum and organized, jointly with ChinaLabs an informal meeting between key policy-makers of the EU and China, participating to the event on 7 December in a top hotel of the town.

第十一届联合国互联网治理论坛于2016年12月初在墨西哥哈利斯科州瓜达拉哈拉市举行。中欧数字协会派代表参加本届论坛，并于12月7日与互联网实验室共同举办了中欧互联网治理对话，40位来自中国和欧盟互联网领域的关键政策决定者出席。

On behalf of ChinaLabs, Zhong Bu also presented the to-be-launched new project– Journal of Cyber Affairs (JCA), a novel initiative jointly promoted by ChinaLabs and ChinaEU. JCA aims to become an international scholarly journal dedicated to publishing cross-disciplinary research on the impacts and implications of the Internet on global communities, including but not limited to policy making, climate change, health care, poverty, education, humanitarian crises, and cyber security. JCA encourages researchers around the world to take unconventional approaches in studying how the Internet is shaping and redefining human lives, relationships, and national boundaries.

作为中国互联网实验室发言代表，钟布还在本次活动上介绍了由中欧数字协会和中国互联网实验室联合推动的新项目–《网络空间研究》杂志。《网络空间研究》旨在成为一份专注于探讨互联网对全球社区的影响和意义的国际性学术杂志，收集并发表所有相关的跨学科研究，主题包括但不限于政策制定、气候变化、医疗健康、贫困、教育、人道主义危机和网络安全。《网络空间研究》鼓励全球范围内的学者和研究员采取突破传统的调研手段来探寻人类生活、人际关系以及国界是如何通过互联网被重新定义和塑造的。

中国网络空间安全协会秘书长李欲晓介绍《2016年世界互联网发展乌镇报告》 

The report acknowledges the achievements of the Internet development and the benefits that the information era has brought to humanity and the world. At the same time it examines carefully the severe challenges ahead, including the widening of the digital divide, the increasing risks of data leaks and cyberattacks, the multiplication of new forms of cybercrime and cyberterrorism. In conclusion, the report calls for international cooperation in reducing global digital dividends, in promoting mutual respect for cultural diversity, in building international norms and regulations in cybersecurity, as well as in supporting governments, international organizations, Internet companies, technology communities, civil organizations, academia, and individuals to participate in the Internet governance.

报告认可了互联网的良性发展及信息化时代给人类和世界带来的好处，同时也对仍然存在的严峻挑战做了详细阐述，包括数字鸿沟的不断扩大、数据泄露和网络攻击风险的持续上升、新型网络犯罪和网络恐怖主义的叠加等。报告呼吁在以下领域加强国际合作，即弥合世界数字鸿沟、倡导相互尊重网络文化差异、制定各方普遍接受的网络空间国际规则，以及支持包括政府、国际机构、互联网企业、技术社群、民间团体、学术界和个人在内的多边、多方参与互联网治理。(请点击此处浏览报告全文) 

Luigi Gambardella raised the opportunity offered by the review of the European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA). He reminded that at the TrustTech event in Cannes, the China Information Technology Industry Federation (CITIF) highlighted the urgent need to establish a professional information security personnel training mechanism in China. CITIF also deplored that in China information security awareness lags behind the world average level and that very few purchase information security services. The Chinese government pledged to make network and information security a national strategy and already introduced of a series of policies and measures to strengthen information security and promote the development of information security industry.

Luigi Gambardella在发言中指出，欧洲网络与信息安全局(ENISA)即将面临下一阶段工作任务的审查和复评，这恰恰为中欧合作提供了一个机会。他回忆不久前在法国戛纳的TrustTech展会上，中国电子信息行业联合会强调了中国急需建立一个专业的、顶尖的信息安全人才培养机制。同时，中国电子信息行业联合会也指出中国的信息安全意识还远远落后于世界平均水平，且很少有人购买信息安全服务。中国政府决心将网络和信息安全发展成为国家级战略，并已经出台了一系列相关政策和措施来加强信息安全和促进整个信息安全行业的发展。

中欧数字协会主席Luigi Gambardella提出中欧数字合作新机遇

Luigi Gambardella advocated that ENISA could be reshaped into a China-EU network and information security agency or CENISA, to respond to the needs of both the EU and China in the area of cybersecurity.

Luigi Gambardella倡议欧洲网络与信息安全局应该以此为契机，进化成为一个中欧网络与信息安全局，或者称其为CENISA，来应对中欧双方在网络安全领域发展的实际需要。

A key priority of China’s internet policy is to ensure cultural diversity. This message was brought by the delegates from the China Culture Institute of Internet Communication (CCIC) at an open forum discussion organised earlier the same day by at the IGF, chaired by Wang Jianchao, Deputy Director-General of Department of International Cooperation of the Cyberspace Administration of China. The CCIC of China had invited Luigi Gambardella as a speaker to share his views with the participants on the opportunities of the Internet to promote cultural diversity and exchanges.

中国互联网发展政策的一个重点是保护文化多样性。在同一天举办的“保护网络文化多样性，促进交流互鉴”开放性论坛上，作为该论坛承办方的中国文化网络传播研究会传达了这一重要信息。受研究会邀请，Luigi Gambardella作为演讲嘉宾出席，并就互联网为促进文化交流和文化多样性提供的机遇为主题与在场嘉宾分享了他的观点。该论坛由中国国家网信办国际合作局副局长王建朝主持。

In between a presentation of the unique achievements of the CCIC to digitize Chinese literary tradition and a lively overview of the Maya cultural heritage of Mexico, Luigi Gambardella raised the question whether we should still continue to see cultural diversity in terms of linguistic diversity. He said that on the Internet, cultural diversity is increasingly a diversity among age groups: younger internet users do not consume the same services, play the same games as older generations. They develop their own communication codes and patterns, difficult to understand by older generations who have other usage patterns, which differ also strongly from those of occasional Internet users.

中国文化网络传播研究会首先介绍了其为中国传统文化数字化所做的不懈努力及所取得的可喜成果。Luigi Gambardella在随后的发言中提出了这样一个问题，那就是我们是否应该继续从语言多样性的角度探讨文化多样性问题。他表示，对于网络而言，文化多样性已经更大程度上的转变为年龄层的多样性：年轻网民和年长网民所消费的服务、玩的游戏自然不同，年轻人发展出属于他们这一代独有的交流方式和密语，而拥有不同沟通习惯的其他年龄层网民对此不能理解也再正常不过，就如同把他们和不常使用网络的用户交流模式作对比，这之间也必然存在着巨大差异。

As in previous years, IGF proved a useful forum for delegates from all players of the Internet eco-system to exchange views and experiences, facilitating understanding of the trends that are developing globally. The next IGF meeting will take place in Geneva in December 2017. ChinaEU plans to participate again and report on the progress achieved in its endeavors to strengthen digital cooperation between China and the EU.

回首往届IGF，事实证明它确实是网络生态系统所有参与方交流观点和经验的一个行之有效的论坛，帮助他们及时深入了解全球互联网发展的新趋势。下一届互联网治理论坛将于2017年12月在日内瓦举办。届时，中欧数字协会将再度出席，并汇报其在加强中欧数字合作方面所做取得的最新进展。
