UNITED NATIONS ESTABLISHES WORKING GROUP ON INTERNET
GOVERNANCE

NEW YORK, 11 November (Working Group on Internet Governance) --
Secretary-General Kofi Annan announced today the establishment
of the Working Group on Internet Governance. The Working Group
will prepare the ground for a decision on this issue by the
second phase of the World Summit on the Information Society, to
be held in Tunis in November 2005.

The Secretary-General was requested to establish a working group
on Internet governance by the first phase of the World Summit on
the Information Society held in Geneva in December 2003. The
task of this Working Group is to organize an open dialogue on
Internet Governance, among all stakeholders, and to bring
recommendations on this subject to the second phase of the
Summit.


The two documents adopted by the Geneva Summit -- the
Declaration of Principles and the Plan of Action -- asked the
Working Group “to investigate and make proposals for action,
as appropriate, on the governance of the Internet by 2005”.

The Group was requested to:

-- Develop a working definition of Internet governance;

-- Identify the public policy issues that are relevant to
Internet governance; and

-- Develop a common understanding of the respective roles and
responsibilities of governments, international organizations and
other forums, as well as the private sector and civil society
from both developing and developed countries.

The Working Group on Internet Governance will be chaired by
Nitin Desai, Special Adviser to the Secretary-General for the
World Summit. It includes 40 members from governments, private
sector and civil society, representing all regions (see the list
below).

“The Working Group is not a negotiating forum”, said Mr.
Desai. “Its purpose is to facilitate the negotiations that
will take place in Tunis. We come into this process as
facilitators, and will strive to establish a dialogue of good
faith among all participants.”

The two Summit documents call for an “open and inclusive”
process and “a mechanism for the full and active
participation of governments, the private sector and civil
society from both developing and developed countries, involving
relevant intergovernmental and international organizations and
forums”. On the basis of these guidelines, the Working Group
will hold regular consultations and will seek to make the best
possible use of electronic working methods, including online
consultations.

The first meeting of the Working Group is scheduled to take
place in Geneva from 23 to 25 November. On 24 November, the
meeting will be held in an open format, allowing all governments
and other stakeholders to interact with the Working Group.

“There is a general convergence of views on the need to treat
Internet governance from a broad perspective and to build on
what has been done elsewhere”, said Markus Kummer, Executive
Coordinator of the United Nations secretariat of the Working
Group. “Issues that we expect to address include the
management of Internet resources, network security, cyber-crime,
spam and multilingualism.”




rt of the Working Group is expected to be submitted to the
Secretary-General in July 2005 and will be made available to the
WSIS second phase in Tunis.

Merhabalar;

"Internet Governance" mı? Devlet, Birleşmiş Milletler falan elini
internetten uzak tutsun yeter. Eğer internet, bizim meclisimizin bir ara
denediği gibi "Basın yasası" -veya herkhangi bir yasa- ile yönetilen bir
medya olsaydı, bugünkü gelişimini gösteremezdi. İnternetin en önemli
farkı, bireylerin uluslarası camiada özgürce kendilerini ifade
edebilmeleri, biraraya gelmeleri, iletişim ve organizasyon
kurabilmeleridir...

Unutmayınız ki, İnternet olmasa idi, internetten iletişim devlet
kontrolü ve sansürü içinde ancak izinle yasa ile vs ile yapılabilse idi,
bugün ne Linux'u görürdük ortada, ne bu kadar hızlı ticari gelişmeyi, ne
birçok alternatif grubun bu kadar etkin örgütlenebilmesini (Social Forum
gibi), ne de Amerika'nın 9/11 olayındaki falsolarını öğrenebilirdik
(http://www.unansweredquestions.org/)...

İtiraf etmek gereken ilk nokta şu ki, önce İnternet, sonra Linux ve açık
kaynak yazılım, tepeden "Devlet" veya "Büyük Şirket" mantığı ile
yönetilmeden, yönetilen diğer bütün projelerden kat kar daha başarılı
olmuş projelerdir. Çağ artık "tepeden inme baskıcı yönetimlerin" değil,
özgürce biraraya gelen insanların gönüllü işbirliğinin çağıdır...

Önce bunu kabul etmek gerekiyor. Gönüllü iletişim ve işbirliğinin
gücünün yanında, devletlerin de, şirketlerin de, BM'in de, gücü
zayıflıyor... Bunlar, herhalde BM'in son çırpınışları...

Unutmayın, devletler, bireylerin özgür olmasını değil, kendi kontrolünde
olmasını ister. Eğer aksi olursa, devlete gerek kalmaz. Veya serbest
piyasadaki hizmet sağlayıcılar gibi, rekabet etmek zorunda kalırlar. Ve
bu da, tepede gücü elinde tutan kesimin tekelci gücünü yitirmesi
anlamına gelir ki, bunu istemezler. (Okuyunuz: Atlas Vazgeçti, Ayn Rand)

İnternet, düşünce ve ifade özgürlüğü, sansürden ve denetimden
bağımsızlık olmadan, bütün anlamını yitirir, tekelci büyük medyaya döner...
(Destekliyorum: www.eff.org )

Aranızda, "herşeyi devlet kontrol etsin, böylece bütün suçları önleriz,
İnternet'de kontrolsüz iletişim ve Açık Kaynak Yazılım, faydadan çok
zarar getiriyor, devlet kontrol edip cezalandırmazsa, bundan bütün
toplum zarar görür, şu haliyle hepsinden tamamen vazgeçsek daha iyi"
diyen var mı? Varsa size soru: Devleti (bekçiyi) kim kontrol edecek?

Soru: İnternet, Irak'da, hem Saddam'ın baskılarına karşı, özgürlüğü ve
demokrasiyi savunmak için bir iletişim aracı olarak kullanıldı, hem de
şu anda Amerkan güçlerinin işgaline karşı direnişciler için bir iletişim
aracı olarak kullanılıyor. Tıpkı telefonun, mektubun, telgrafın,
telsizin, kısaca her iletişim aracının, hem normal ve iyi, hem de suç
unsuru ve kötü olarak kullanımının mümkün olduğu gibi... Şimdi İnternet
iyi mi kötü mü?

Aranızda, "bütün iletişimi devlet kontrol etsin, yoksa suçu önleyemeyiz"
diyen var mı? Mesela bu email grubunu kurabilmek, üye olabilmek, mesaj
gönderip alabilmek için, devletten (mesela valilikten, savcılıktan) izin
almanın gerektiği bir durumu tercih eden? Böyle bir internetin daha iyi
olacağını savunan?

Dolayısı ile, spam için olsun, çocuk pornosu için olsun, ne için olursa
olsun, gönüllü bir çaba gerekir... Bu suçları sakıncaları, ancak
İnternet'i hepbirlikte kurduğumuz gibi, özgür işbirliği içinde
çözebiliriz... Hepimizin davranışlarından bağımsız bir internet sorunu
yok, bunu idrak etmeli önce..

Soru: Örneğin çocuk pornosu ve fuhuşun, internette olsun, internet
dışında olsun, yasalar ve yönetimle tamamen engellenebilmesi mümkün mü?
Türkiye'de kaç Rus (Ukrayna Moldovya vs dahil) fahişe var? Bunların kaç
müşterisi var? Yurtdışına sex turizmi için giden kaç kişi var? Geçen
Hürriyet'e bile çıktı ... Bunlar yasal olarak ne kadar önlenebilir,
polisiye yöntemlerle, cezayla, baskıyla? Toplumda bu cinsel açlık,
doyumsuzluk, tatminsizlik varken, ve medyayla da sürekli
kışkırtılırken... Neden insanların "normal" yollardan cinselliklerini
tatmin edebilecekleri, cinselliğin korkulan değil, bilinçli, sağlıklı,
keyifli bir şekilde yaşandığı bir kültür ortamını aileden ve okuldan
başlayarak kurmak yerine, tatmin olmamış insanlar çıkışı fuhuşta
bulunca, polisiye önlemlere sarılıyoruz?... Ve herşey için tek çözümü,
dışarıda birilerinin "yasa koymasından" "cezalandırmasından" bekliyoruz?
Yoksa, kendi sorumluluğumuzu kabul etmekten mi kaçıyoruz?... Bu kadar
talep olmasa, bu "sektör"ler oluşur muydu?

Neyse çenem (parmaklarım?) düştü... Konuyu fazla dağıtmayayım,
uzatmayayım...

Özetle sorunlar yasayla baskıyla değil, bizim bilinçli bir işbirliğine
gitmemizle en iyi şekilde çözülür inancındayım...

İyi çalışmalar,

Özer Tayiz.
