Internet Governance
Problems to Solve
- Attack computers with almost no consequences
- DDoS
- botnets
- capture and analyze private traffic
- distribute malware
- tampering with traffic
- Unauthorized access to data and resources
- Impersonate computers, individuals, applications
- Fraud, theft
- regulate behavior
Design Principles
- subjects of governance: programs and computers
- bind programs and computers to humans & human organizations, but recognize binding is imperfect
- recognize that "bad" behavior is always possible. "good" behavior is enforced through incentives and sanctions.
- rules will change. Even rules for rule changes will change. Need a "living document" governing how rules are chosen and enforced.
