2 - German Government Proposal on Global Internet Principles
The German government wants to take the opportunity to propose a list of Global Internet Principles regarding the governance of the internet, to be global in reach and supported by all the relevant stakeholders, i.e. governments, civil society, technical community and private sector.We consider these Principles as an overarching term, given the fact that a global citizen can only enjoy freedom, security and well-being if the governance of the internet is in line with the interest of the people.

7 - Can Trade Set Information Free? Trade Agreements, Internet Governance and Internet Freedom
This policy brief shows how three governments (the US, EU, and Canada) have used trade policies to regulate the Internet. We focus on their policies to advance the free flow of information, privacy, and Internet stability. We make suggestions on how to ensure that trade policy enhances internet freedom, openness and stability. Due to limited funding, we could only examine US, EU and Canadian trade and internet policies, but we hope to examine other countries in the future.

8 - Roadmaps for further evolution of Internet governance
Over the years, there have been numerous proposed roadmaps for further evolution of Internet governance. Some of those proposed roadmaps remain perfectly valid today and they will no doubt be presented again to the Net Mundial meeting. This paper presents some of the proposals that have received less recent attention, but which still warrant consideration. This paper is structured into four sections: 1. The Internet Ad Hoc Group proposals 2. The Role of the US government 3. Modularization of ICANN’s functions 4. Relation to Existing Intergovernmental Organizations

9 - International code of conduct for information security
Recent years have witnessed the considerable progress achieved in developing and applying the latest information and telecommunication technologies, which could potentially be used for purposes that are inconsistent with the objectives of maintaining international stability and security. It is of great significance that the common challenges in the sphere of information security should be dealt with through international cooperation and in the spirit of mutual respect. To that end, China, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan have jointly elaborated in the form of a potential General Assembly resolution on an international code of conduct for information security and call for international deliberations within the United Nations framework on such an international code, with the aim of achieving the earliest possible consensus on international norms and rules guiding the behaviour of States in the information space (see annex).

16 - Compatibility of African regional treaties & Conventions with international best practice on Internet Governance
The African charter on Human and People's Rights does not protect the right to privacy, either online or offline, and neither does it protect wider digital-based rights. Despite the incorporation of such right in some African national constitutions, and pronouncements by courts such as South African Supreme Court, the African supra-natural bodies are significantly lagging behind developments in other regions. Attempts to plug this gap through the draft African Convention on Cybercrime have stalled due to lack of consensus. Further, the draft convention will not be a panacea to the presenting problems, mainly because it contains a number of flaws and did not benefit from multi-stakeholders' consultation. The above scenario calls for global effort in supporting African efforts to be an equal party in the global Internet governance ecosystem.

19 - Roadmap for globalizing IANA: Four principles and a proposal for reform
This paper sets out a blueprint and supporting analysis for globalizing the IANA functions. It proposes four basic principles that should guide the reform of the IANA functions: 1. Keep the IANA function clerical - separate it from policy; 2. Don’t internationalize political oversight: end it; 3. Align incentives to ensure the accuracy and security of root zone maintenance; 4. De-link globalization of the IANA function from broader ICANN policy process reforms. The paper then sets forth a blueprint for change. In summary, it proposes to: 1) Structurally separate the IANA functions from ICANN’s policy process; 2) Integrate the DNS-related IANA functions with the Root Zone Maintainer functions performed by Verisign, and put them into a new, independent “DNS Authority” (DNSA); 3) Create a nonprofit controlled by a consortium of TLD registries and root server operators to run the DNSA; 4) Complete the transition by September 2015, when the IANA contract expires.

20 - The Information Security Forum's Threat Horizon 2015 Report - More danger from known threats
The Information Security Forum (ISF) is the world's leading authority on information risk management. A not-for-profit organisation, that supplies authoritative opinion & guidance on all aspects of information security. The annual ISF Threat Horizon report provides a practical way for organisations to take a forward-looking view of the increasing threats in today’s always-on, interconnected world. This in turn enables a better prepared, strategic approach to managing and mitigating risk. Understanding threats is fundamental to enterprise risk management; threats need to be evaluated in the context of the organisation to determine risk. The ISF’s 2015 Threat Horizon report finds that the biggest risk is from known threats. The fact that hacktivism and malicious software have been around for sometime doesn’t mean they’re less threatening and we can relax - quite the opposite.
