Subject: [Bp_cybersec_2016] Reminder - Call for Contributions - IGF
2016 BPF Cybersecurity
To: <snip>


All,
This is a reminder of the open call for contributions (pasted below)
from the 2016 IGF BPF on Cybersecurity. All stakeholders are invited
to submit inputs, contributions, best practices, case studies, etc. -
we initially have set a soft deadline of 15 August for this initial
round of soliciting inputs; however, all stakeholders, particularly
IGF National and Regional Initiatives (NRIs), are invited to submit
contributions on a rolling basis as we understand that many NRI
meetings (and other important meetings related to cybersecurity) will
be taking place in the months and weeks leading up to the IGF annual
meeting in December.

A summary of the third virtual meeting of the Cybersecurity BPF has
also been added to the IGF website (link below) for reference.

2016 IGF Best Practice Forum on Cybersecurity

Call for contributions:

All stakeholders are invited to submit written contributions
addressing the below questions and issues to the 2016 IGF BPF on Cyber
security mailing list (subscribe:
https://www.intgovforum.org/mailman/listinfo/bp_cybersec_2016_intgovforum.org)
by 15 August 2016. While it is envisioned that initial drafting of the
output document will begin on 15 August, this should be considered a
soft deadline as contributions will be welcome after the 15th of
August, particularly contributions from IGF National and Regional
Initiatives (NRIs) and from other relevant entities or organisations
who may be holding meetings relating to cybersecurity between the 15th
of August and the IGF annual meeting in December. Contributions will
then be compiled and synthesized by the Secretariat, and further
circulated to the community for comment and further work towards an
output document for the BPF to be presented at the 11th IGF in
Guadalajara, Mexico from 6-9 December.

All individuals and organizations are asked to kindly try to keep
their contributions to no more than 2-3 pages, and are encouraged to
include URLs/Links to relevant information/examples/best practices as
applicable. Please attach contributions as Word Documents (or other
applicable non-PDF text).

Overview:

Reviewing the outcomes of both the IGF Spam and CSIRT Best Practices
Forums over the last two years, there has been an emerging
consensus[1] from the community that the 2016 cyber security BPF might
most benefit from addressing cooperation and collaboration between
stakeholder groups as a topic. The community has expressed that all
stakeholders may benefit from having a multi-stakeholder discussion,
including each of the major IGF stakeholder groups, on how to engage
and communicate with each other on cyber security issues. There is
also a feeling that this would be uniquely fit for an IGF BPF. There
is also emerging agreement that the BPF for 2016 should not be seen in
isolation, but should rather be seen in a long-term perspective and
that capacity building would be an integral component for the work.
End users, law enforcement agencies, policymakers, and all of the
other range of actors involved in cyber security, can be reached out
to and involved in the work. National and Regional IGF initiatives
(NRIs)s may also wish to play an important role in feeding their
discussions into the work, and vice versa.



Questions:

●      What are the typical roles and responsibilities of your/each of
the stakeholder groups in making the internet a secure and safe place
for people to socialize and conduct business?

●      What are some of the typical communication mechanisms between
stakeholder groups to discuss cyber security related concerns?

●      How can cybersecurity cooperation and collaboration be enhanced
particularly in developing and least developed countries?

●      What are some common problem areas that stakeholders encounter
when trying to enhance cooperation and collaboration?

●      What are some notable existing best practices and examples of
successful collaboration and cooperation amongst stakeholders and
specific actors that have helped improve cybersecurity?

●      What are some examples of best practices in ‘Cyber security
Situational Awareness’ where different organizations have worked
together, specifically with law enforcement agencies and other
specialists?

●      What are other related or different topics that your
organization would like this BPF to address moving forward, both in
2016 and beyond?
